The needs of the single biggest application inside this site took several weeks of programming and testing. Tech Direct had a need for their corporate customer such as Dell and Tech Xpress to log into their site and be able to track where each item was on a given day, week or month.
A management tool for the drivers and installation engineers was written for their PDA’s running Windows Mobile allowing them after delivery to update the database with the relevant information, this was a live uplink using GPS.
Corporate customers can then check immediately which systems have been sent out and installed versus still in transit.
