Mobilize Your Enterprise for Greater Productivity with SAPConsole/ITS Mobile.

Wireless-enable Your Supply Chain. In the quest to provide better customer service, achieve lower costs and improve profitability, companies today are optimizing their entire value chain with the realtime, accurate transfer of data across the enterprise through the use of wireless handheld data collection devices.
Access Your SAP Enterprise Application Data with RF-Enabled Character Based Devices or Web-Enabled Devices
ITS Mobile/SAPConsole is a native radio frequency (RF) data collection application for SAP, which many SAP companies already own as part of their SAP application suite. SAPConsole is a translator, converting SAPs graphical-based screens into the character and GUI-based screens used on a wide variety of handheld devices. Connectivity to the wireless device is accomplished using Telnet Mobile ITS Server application. ITSMobile is a browser based user interface based on the widely used Dynpro programming model. ITS Mobile/SAPConsole software does not contain any business logic, external databases, or complex functionality; it simply moves the display of data from an SAP presentation to a wireless device presentation as an alternative front-end to the SAP GUI screen. Transactions performed with the wireless device are posted real-time to your ECC system.

SAPConsole/ITS Mobile Overview

Windows-PC communicates with the SAP System. The Web browser starts an SAP Session via remote connection on the NT/2000 PC.

RF Architecture

SAPConsole/ITS Mobile is one component of the entire system, which includes SAPConsole, Telnet server or ITS Mobile server, and the wireless device. SAPConsole/ ITS Mobile connects you to SAP in real-time. The RF terminals are thin clients containing only terminal emulation software and cannot operate without the connection to SAP. Access points simply serve as an Ethernet bridge, allowing the wireless terminals to connect to the hard-wired network via TCP/IP. Transactions can be accessed on the RF device or desktop or through a Web browser using a mobile windows-based device.

Perform Unique Functions

Only Available Through Catalyst Build transactions for unique processes. If a transaction does not meet your specific requirements, Catalyst can build a unique transaction for any scenario (e.g., capturing quality test results at the time of goods receipt on the RF device). Datasave. Catalyst has developed a unique datasave technology that enables a user to save data in steps (e.g., for multiple line item delivery picking). If you are inadvertently logged off, none of your data is lost; you are only presented with the remaining open items. Enable instant messaging within the rf transactions. This feature enables SAP users to communicate with each other on an RF device through one-way or two-way messaging. Combine multiple sap transactions. Catalyst transactions can combine several standard SAP transactions into a single RF-enabled transaction facilitating a more efficient process (e.g., executing an IM goods receipt against a purchase order with putaway into WM).
