About

DPS PocketFlash

Features
Read full description

PocketFlash mobile application for iOS devices. The iOS PocketFlash app is virtually identical in features and functions and basic layout to the previously written and released Java and Visual Basic PocketFlash apps. The app allows for entry of customer orders in an offline or disconnected state. When connectivity (Internet access) is possible, the user can upload the entered orders to a synchronization server that then submits the orders to the ERP system for processing. The first time you run the app on your device, you will need to Set Device Id, Set Logon User, Set Environment (Test or Live) and then do a Synchronize With Server.
