to extend the functionalities of ERP and company
workflow applications. It used SMS-based solutions,
which allowed personnel to share information with the

and nationwide offices can access the corporate workflow
systems and access updated data. While on the move, the

The system uses 'push-based'
information. Pre-defined information can be flashed to key
personnel anywhere. This included details about dealer
outstanding, dispatch status, day-wise dispatches, monthly
dispatches, day-wise production, and monthly production. In
the morning, personnel would get around eight capsules of
information on their mobile phones. So it wouldn't matter if
they've hadn't logged on to the Website. |
|
For instance, if any user wants to
know about the outstanding position of a particular dealer,
he/she can enter a pre-defined SMS command and send it to
the mobile number, which is connected to the SMS server.
With this, the information is pushed via the ERP system into
the SMS server. The required information is pulled out and
flashed back to the member. |
| The back-end
infrastructure of this SMS system includes an SMS engine,
which is a Nokia modem with a SIM card connected to an SMS
server. High-end PC are used for an SMS server and installed
a database engine in it. With this basic infrastructure. |
|
The application is protected with the
help of firewalls and user authentication (login and
password) measures. Users can access only specific dealers
for which they are authorized. To further enhance security,
the company can make use of a dedicated link to its Website. |
