Extech Data Systems' Printers Provide Mobile Solution For Computac's Direct Store Distribution System
For more than 10 years, Computac's MARC handheld/mobile solution for wholesale distribution in the magazines and periodicals industry has been deploying wireless terminals and portable printers with its Direct Store Distribution (DSD) system. Recently, the 2500THS thermal printer with integrated Bluetooth radio technology from Extech Data Systems became the portable printer of choice for Computac's DSD system.
According to Computac, wholesale distribution requires flexible, intelligent and easy-to-use hardware and software that can be adapted to fit both current and future needs. Computac's Mobile Application software is intelligent software that can be tailored to all the different tasks of wholesale distribution: Delivery, Proof of Delivery, Returns, Reorders and Inventory. A key feature of Computac's Mobile Application software is its intuitive interface to the host system. Systems integration has never been so easy. Title files and customer files are easily downloaded from the host to the handheld. Invoice, reorder and return data are uploaded easily. This seamless integration between systems is yet one more example of the intelligent design of the software.
Utilizing the MC9090 Wireless Terminal and Extech's S2500THS thermal printer with their application software, Computac has created a new level of efficiency in managing invoices, reorders, returns and proof-of-delivery for applications including route accounting, delivery and field service for the magazines and periodicals industry.
The S2500THS is extremely lightweight and portable while maintaining the strength and durability needed for portable and mobile applications. With automatic thermal print contrast, the S2500THS produces a high speed, high resolution print, significantly reducing print time per receipt. The printer contains a highly integrated, state-of-the-art microprocessor complete with a flash-based integrated CPU that manages all features supported by the printer and contains built-in Flash and SRAM memory. Resident and downloadable features allow users to add logos, bar codes and other graphic elements to the receipt. Multiple communication interfaces and optional integrated Bluetooth radio are available.
Computac understands that the wholesale distribution industry needs intelligent hardware and software that is easy to use and exactly matched to the requirements and tasks of the person who is using it. Equipped with Extech portable printers, distributors can rest assured that their mobile workforce is operating a maximum efficiency.
