Why Upgrade Now?

Are you using old Norand or Intermec handheld computers for your mobile sales and delivery DSD routes? These terminals include the 602, 6100, 6110, 6200, 6210, 6220, 700, 710 and 720 models. If your company fits this profile you are likely using Intermec’s Sales, Delivery, and Merchandising (SDM) with 6920 communications software. These programs were state-of-the-art software applications in the late 1990’s. They may be paid for but are they doing the job?

Data Concepts can upgrade your company to new Windows Mobile handheld computers for your sales and delivery force without changing your accounting software or interface! We put your new transactions into the old file format and save your company thousands of dollars in eliminated training and software integration charges.

Many eight year old Personal Computers (PC’s) still work. Why did your company replace them? Most likely it was that they were slow, undependable and interfered with getting the job done.

Toss the Brick

Your salespeople and delivery drivers’ experience with their mobile computer systems is less visible to management than a data entry operator in the office complaining about network response time. The benefits are:

Speed

1.     Windows Mobile Computers have up to 256MB RAM, 256MB ROM, and up to 2GB of backup storage on a   SD, Mini-SD or Micro-SD Card.  This is over eight times the storage of the monochrome 720 Pocket PC.

2.     Processor speeds up to 624MHz results in less time spent per stop waiting on the computer to print the completed order or invoice.

Communications

1.     Windows Mobile Computers support WWAN (built-in cell phone), 802.11 (WiFi), Bluetooth (short range radio) and Ethernet.  Better Communication results in more sales opportunities and increased sales performance.

2.    Customer orders may be "staged" during the work day reducing over-time hours and increasing efficiency.

1.    Extensive sales history, customer route book, re-sell prior order and messaging (including e-mail)complement the core route accounting purpose of the Windows Mobile software.
