KeyTools today announced that it has introduced mobiSCAN, the latest product in its rapidly growing portfolio of applications for the Palm operating system (OS).
MobiSCAN is a mobile asset tracking management solution for the Palm OS, and currently runs on the Symbol SFT Palm OS range and the complete range of Handspring Visor products fitted with the Symbol CSM150 Scanner module.
The mobiSCAN application allows for multiple locations, and multiple bins per location with barcodes for locations and/or bins. It allows for both "Master Lists" and "Stock-take" Lists and includes a miscellaneous list for items not found on a preset "Master List". Additionally, new "Master Lists" can be created from scratch with stock items being scanned automatically, or manually for items with old, worn or unclear barcodes. A capability is included to prevent user error input.
As one would expect, extensive reporting facilities are also available and the application supports accounting package set-ups, where barcodes are stored in the inventory code field. Additionally, a powerful data mapping capability is provided for the importing and exporting of data to and from accounting packages. Synchronisation can be achieved either via a local cradle or via a network cradle.
"The requirement to use the latest mobile technology as widely as possible has driven the requirement to provide this type of scanning capability," commented Richard Chalk, CEO of KeyTools. "We are only at the beginning of the mobile explosion; there are many new and exciting applications in the pipeline."
