Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser is the ultimate software platform made to empower enterprise data capture accessories such as sleds that incorporate 1D and 2D barcode scanners and/or magnetic strip readers (MSR), printers, NFC devices, and other Apple iOS compatible devices. The App integrates the powerful WebKit based browser engine for compatibility, speed, and features. Instead of requiring dedicated and proprietary software to automate barcode, credit card, and other data entry into iOS, Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser will automatically transcribe the data into a text field of a web page or web-based app; whether designed specifically for data entry or simply a generic web form! For more advanced users Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser also offers a full HTML/JavaScript development platform that gives developers the ability to make and receive API calls via JavaScript functions. The ability to control third party hardware, manage native app parameters, and process data without user intervention are just some of the features of the HTML/JavaScript platform. Unique to this platform is the ability to parse United States and Canadian Driver's Licenses and Military ID's using IDscan.net directly within the browser itself (a separate license from IDscan.net is required). The Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser showcases many new features in addition to an improved Settings Page that gives the user complete control over all aspects of the App and its operation, the ability to set the default homepage, customize the buttons/colors/operation, and control how the scan and MSR data is processed, and additional new features including: • Auto-start Decoder • Automatically Clear Cache (and optionally redirect home) • Start / stop battery levels for charging from supported sleds • Software decoding • And much more! The customers that utilize the Dryrain Technologies Enterprise Browser include: - Users of devices that do not have (or have a poorly implemented) "keyboard wedge mode" - Customers who have a mixed rollout of devices (different iOS products, iOS sleds, and 3rd party MFi accessories) can use our single App, single icon, single interface, and single experience across all supported hardware - Developers who utilize our API's do not need to worry about adding or changing any code to add support for new hardware - we abstract all supported devices to work the same via our Javascript API's - Users who want to perform advanced keyboard wedge features such as: • Automatically find the proper field(s) to populate without having to tap each time • Automatically jump to the next field (and control which fields to honor for this feature) • Save on number of screen taps (no need to tap on the field, scan, tap next field, scan, tap to submit, etc) • Intelligent form fill and submit • Built-in character suppression • Built-in prefixes and suffixes Supported hardware includes: • Honeywell Captuvo SL22/SL42/SL62 product line (All models) • Honeywell 1602 MFi Bluetooth scanner • Infinite Peripherals Linea Pro line • Infinite Peripherals Infinea line (Infinea X, Infinea Tab, Infinea Tab M) • Infinite Peripherals Imperea • Cognex MX-1000/1502 • STAR SM and SMT series printers Perfect for retail, healthcare, warehouse, field sales, field service, transportation, logistics, hospitality and entertainment industries. As with all apps developed by Dryrain Technologies, this software is backed by superior support services. Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser requires the hardware to be licensed.
