User and System Interfaces

• The Desktop Environment provides a familiar 'Office' style application that allows you to open and switch between multiple windows within one instance of the application

• The Web Environment provides users on many platforms to process transactions and access information such as current inventory levels or the status of orders.  Any report that is available at the operation can be made available on the web.

• The Compact Environment allows users with wireless PDAs or scanning devices to access information and process transactions remotely.

• The Mobile Environment extends a subset of features to users with WAP enabled devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and Blackberry devices.  There are several hundred devices compatible with this interface.  (see Compatible Devices on Microsoft's web site).

• The Web Services module allows other systems to perform transactions and update or query information using standard Web protocols.

• The Data Transfer module is able to send and receive data in several standard formats such as XML and Flat Files.  This is used to collect data from devices such as Batch Scanners, RFID Readers, and other systems that are able to send data electronically.  This can also be used to send data to other systems on a schedule or triggered by events in the system.

• The WMS Agent handles tasks that must be carried out unattended, such as scheduled report distribution or data transfers.
