Most companies realize that data collection applications have very little value unless they are integrated 'real-time' with their existing business systems. In practical terms, this means that creating a seamless, scalable, and reliable connection between new Automated Data Collection applications and the core SAP business server is vitally important for the success of the implementation. The RFgen Mobile Framework, application development tools, and our transaction management infrastructure were all developed with these requirements in mind.

The creation of SAP enabled data collection applications is accomplished through the use of a system that embeds the business function rules directly into the data collection process. Developers simply browse the SAP object library and select from a complete list of all available business functions supported by that version of SAP. Then, using RFgen's point-and-click and drag-and-drop methods, the business functions necessary to execute various SAP transactions (transfer, shipment, completion, etc.) are embedded into your data collection applications using our automated code generation engine.

To facilitate the development and deployment of your automated data collection system, RFgen provides a number of pre-written, validated, Open Source transactions for your SAP system. Companies can use these standard transactions to jump-start their implementation. Many companies that have implemented RFgen have extended these transactions to include new processes that are not supported in SAP or would be very expensive to implement using SAP Console. Further, RFgen has been designed specifically for wireless and mobile Data Collection environment. The RFgen Mobile Framework protects your entire SAP investment by utilizing the processes already defined inside SAP, providing on-demand, pass-through access to SAP console, as well as delivering the ability to enhance, configure and add entirely new processes for supply chain management, all without having to reconfigure SAP.
