Typical Applications

We have built batch, wireless, and wide-area applications. A batch application requires that the handheld device be placed in a cradle to synchronize its data with a host database. A wireless application uses a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi network) to communicate in real time with the host database. A wide-area application communicates over the Internet with a host database that can be located thousands of miles away. A typical data collection system for a handheld terminal includes:

• Series of data fields
• Series of applications screens that follow a specific data collection workflow
• Business logic layer to address error handling, logic branching, and "what if" scenarios
• Data Upload/Download mechanisms to a host PC
• Barcode/Label Generation
• Reporting

Custom Client/Server Application Development

A typical Client/Server Application Development will consist of the same basic elements that a handheld application, however, will reside on a PC. These applications generally have a shorter development time since desktop SDK’s are typically less time intensive to develop. A tethered or wireless scanner is typically integrated into the workflow of the application.

Database Architectures and Applications

A database will generally accompany a handheld or Client/Server Application Development. The database can also have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to will allow users to manipulate, report, or export data through a series of custom screens.

Label Generation

Barcode label generation is generally associated with many of the SSG custom applications. SSG is very flexible in how we can provide label and bar code solutions to our customers. Typical Label Solutions include:

• On-Demand label generation that is built into the Handheld or Client/Server Application Development.
• Custom label formats to be used with Handheld or Client/Server Application Development.
• Bartender/Nicelabel Template Design and data integration
• Preprinted black/White and Color Labels
• IntelliTrack Add-Ons/Modifications

Custom Modification of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Software

Many client’s require modifications of popular software packages, such as IntelliTrack. Here are some examples of how SSG can help with these types of development requests:

• Additional Reports
