The bMobile sales system integrates data with QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier and QuickBooks Enterprise. Designed for use with low-cost Pocket PCs or rugged handheld mobile computers on the Windows Mobile® platform, bMobile is a sales automation system for even the tightest budgets.

bMobile Technology can help you identify your needs and explain your many options in understandable language. While the software can be installed on any device meeting the system requirements, bMobile Technology does offers a wide selection of low cost PDAs and rugged, industrial mobile sales terminals.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The system consists of two software applications and a handheld mobile computer. The bMobile Desktop Interface is installed onto the same computer as your QuickBooks software.

bMobile Sales is installed on the Pocket PC and this mobile application receives the QuickBooks files, allowing the Pocket PC to recall the data and perform route and sales tasks anytime – anywhere. When used with a mobile printer you can print an invoice in the field and print daily reports.

TECHNICAL BRIEF

The mobile computer used in this system may be chosen from a vast selection of qualified devices. In selecting a device, the Pocket PC should meet the needs of the user while being robust enough for the requirements of mobile software system.

bMobile has been designed to take advantage of Windows touch screen technology thus minimizing required key-stroke data entry. Through the use of a stylus pen, the user can quickly select data from menus and lists and navigate throughout the program. Barcode scanning is also available and can be used to select inventory, thus avoiding errors in lookup.

bMobile software has been designed for the Windows Mobile 2003 or higher operating system. The mobile application functions best on devices using an Intel XScale Processor. A processor speed of 400MHz or greater is recommended. 32MB of RAM and 32MB of ROM are minimum requirements, with 128MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM are preferred.

The mobile application is developed using .NET technology with a SQL database. During the data transfer process, SQL data is converted into XML data files for communication to the host system. Once the data is received by the host system, the data is reconfigured into the appropriate data format by the bMobile Interface and imported into QuickBooks.

The data from the mobile unit updates QuickBooks, where it is processed and conversely, QuickBooks data refreshes the mobile database through a process called synchronization. During synchronization, the mobile software exports sales and customer data to the desktop and the desktop interface searches QuickBooks for any new data to export to the mobile unit. The mobile software then clears the current records in preparation for returning to the field, and QuickBooks exports customer and inventory data to the handheld.
