ORDER-STREAM™
Order-Stream™-
the ability to take orders, create invoices and/or credit notes on site
with a customer. The Order-Stream™ software
and the Palm Pilot work together with an Internal Bar Code Scanner to
reduce the time needed to process an order and allows sales reps to spend
more time selling than processing.
This system offers significant advantages in order speed, accuracy and eliminates the need for head office personnel to key in field orders. The download of information can be bi-directional and pass information such as inventory levels, pricing and emails from head office back to the sales representative. Components

you are currently using one of the above accounting packages, SL Datakatch will

corporate accounting system and makes them available to the outbound hot
sync conduit. It also imports
the order/invoice/credit database from the inbound conduit into the
