RE: Hand-Held devices for off-line sales input

[John Manilla <jmanilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are now new Windows CE Devices from Intermec Technologies that are
link the Palm, but are industrial use design.  They come with barcode
scanners, cellular modems, etc.  I have been watching this technology very
close, but have not worked on an implementation yet.  There is also some
pre-packaged software out there that runs on the devices and talks back to a
host.  I can dig some information on this if you would like me to.  Just
give me a call.

We looking for hand-held devices that can be used to allow roving salesmen
to register their sales (& print invoices).
The requirement is as follows :
Salesmen have trucks which carry goods to be sold. They go on the road to
visit shops and sell these goods
They will be required to register each sale on the hand-held terminal and
print an invoice.
Once their trip is finished, they need to come back to the office and
upload all the day's sales from the hand-held terminal onto our AS400.
These uploaded files need then be fed into JBA SOP module.

Has anyone out there had the same requirements? We would like to know which
make of hardware & software you have been using for that purpose and that
you would recommend.


Regards
