DEX: Transmitting Sales Transaction Data from Salesperson to Retailer

DEX is shorthand for Direct EXchange/Uniform Communication Standard (DEX/UCS). Common transaction files including invoices are defined by the UCC for transmission from handheld computers to retailers computer systems. This provides a standard (including product UPC codes) that trading partners (wholesalers and retailers) rely on to exchange sales data without error and duplication of effort.

Data Concepts has set up wholesalers to DEX with their handheld computers since the mid 1990's.

DEX is a flexible system intent on making the lives of the salesperson and retailer simple, mobile and error-free. Data Concepts' MobilePDQ 4010 and 5010 DEX application is certified with CVS Pharmacy, Safeway, Smart and Final, Smith's and other major grocery retailers.
