bizLinx Mobile Uniquely Designed with the Distributor in Mind
While other distribution software technology companies claim to offer wireless technology to distributors, what they are actually offering is “cradled” technology, something that NxTrend offers in its SX2Go product. With a typical cradled product, a distributor enters the information into a handheld PDA and then must dock or cradle the PDA to update their distribution software database. Although there are some advantages to cradled technology in certain situations, you cannot update your ERP information online in real-time as you can with bizLinx Mobile. NxTrend’s bizLinx Mobile is the clear industry leader in wireless technology for dealers and distributors.

According to Warren Wilbee, Director of Engineering Support Services for NxTrend, the success of NxTrend’s bizLinx Mobile product lies in its ability to “get the right information into the right hands at the right time,” something that other distribution software companies ignore. “The key difference between the two delivery methods,” Wilbee continued, “is that cradled devices rely on batch processing; wireless devices process information online in real time. There’s no better product than NxTrend’s bizLinx Mobile for accessing key information from your distribution software exactly when you need it.”

For example, a distributor would want ordering information about price and availability, customer statements, sales histories, and important customer marketing information delivered wirelessly in real time so that their sales people can respond to customer needs faster than their competitors. On the other hand, signature captures and shipping feedback would be better handled through a batch process offered through products like NxTrend’s SX2Go.
“Sometimes other technology companies put their own convenience first in order to claim they’re first to the market,” said Wilbee. “NxTrend has a long history of putting distributor’s needs first, and bizLinx Mobile is just the latest example.”
