| Why do you need DCMS? |
 |

With growing customer demands and shrinking profit margins, there's simply no room for a sluggish supply chain. That's where mobile and wireless technologies are making a difference. From the production line to the checkout line, from the warehouse to the delivery truck, mobile solutions are replacing old-fashioned manual processes. By putting wireless computers into the hands of your workforce, you eliminate time-consuming and error-prone paper processes. This increases accuracy, raises productivity, and improves collaboration up and down the supply chain.
Mobility eliminates wasted time hidden in your business processes - time that slows your entire chain of operations. Without mobility, processes are tied to an application that can only be accessed on a desktop computer, leaving businesses dependent upon paper to disseminate information (such as work orders) to employees as well as to collect needed information throughout business processes. But paper-driven processes require time to handwrite data and time to enter that information into the computer - a process that requires the data to be handled twice. And this 'double touch' of business data leads to an inefficient use of time, high labor costs and a larger opportunity for error.
Through mobility, computing power is moved from a stationery desktop computer to a mobile computer- the tools workers need to automate business processes are always in hand. Workers can now access and capture data in real time - right at the point of work.
Manual processes are replaced with real-time computing.Instead of issuing paper work orders to employees, an electronic work order can be issued instantly and automatically by your business systems.
Instead of collecting data on paper-based forms that must then be entered into the computer at a later time, workers can enter the information directly into your business systems.
