ISV Spotlight: WithoutWire Inventory Sciences

Smartphones, tablets and WIFI, with integrated scanners means tracking inventory anytime, anywhere. This Solution enables automation of your remote, consigned or customer-owned inventory to be tracked and managed. If you can track and manage it, you can invoice it. And that translates to better use of your cash and other resources! Do you need iOS (Apple) applications to integrate to our Microsoft based platform? No problem! Recently Appolis WithoutWire WoW Warehouse tackled a Remote Inventory application using iTouch w/ LineaPro scanners to enable Remote site Receiving, Replenishment and Consumption (think Picking) with real-time invoicing capabilities.
