— Work like ERP System clients

— Have no impact on the ERP System

ERP System Updates — Do not require new code releases

— Do not require vendor code patches

— Can be performed in minutes

Enterprise Connection Pooling

ERP User License Pooling

RFGen ERP Connections have the capability to operate in single-user mode as well as in a special “shared” mode. Companies using this technology quickly see a significant reduction in their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) based upon the reduction of required ERP user licenses.

• Share ERP user licenses

• Minimize ERP connection overhead

• Self-Adjusting based upon demand

Off-Line / Background Processing Support

Transaction Management

Any RFGen transaction can be configured for on-line / off-line processing. This allows support for true 24/7 data collection operations.

• Process transactions when the host is unavailable

• Synchronize data from batch/mobile devices

• Run time-consuming tasks In the background

• Maintain a log of all queued / posted / failed transactions
