HMS is ideal for distributors integrating handhelds for the first time or wanting to
replace their existing handhelds for new, more capable Windows Mobile computers.
It fills the gap between information that the host accounting system does not have
but is required for handhelds to operate efficiently. The Terminal program replaces
the Intermec 6920 server with a SQL Server solution. The screen displays the route number and
communications time for both downloading (sending data to the handheld) and uploading
(receiving transactions from sales).
