xMobility Solution Suite Overview Xpedium xMobility is a comprehensive mobile application development and management platform that delivers new levels of productivity and cost savings. xMobility combines the latest software technologies with subject matter expertise in developing and deploying successful mobile worker implementations across continents and thousands of users. xMobility Ready-to-Work applications address the core functional

delivery, proof of delivery, asset management and inspection while allowing localized customer

By consolidating and integrating all the relevant mobility technologies available today onto one web services platform, xMobility enables you to achieve

operations and gain the timely and vital exception reporting required to improve supply chain

require Direct Exchange (DEX) with retail systems, document imaging, photography, GPS tracking,

xMobility can provide all these applications and more.

Reduces Total Cost and Time to Market

to the system without costly and time consuming programming changes, eliminating forced dependence on a software provider. This not only reduces the total cost of ownership, even more importantly, it reduces time to market for changes

in critical business processes, invoices and delivery documents.

xMobility empowers the management team to dynamically initiate, manage and control changes to mobile execution processes in time to effectively react to changing business conditions. This “agility” enables dramatic improvements in cost control, revenue generation and customer service.

xMobility supports integration of specialized solutions from Xpedium technology partners to leverage true core competencies and protect against obsolescence. Advanced data mapping delivers next generation capability for integration with everything from Tier I ERP to customer-

databases.

xMobility Solution SuiteThe xMobility Solution Suite consists of two core systems offering specialized mobility services.

xLinkxLink is the web-based management server system that facilitates mobile client database connectivity, specialized data collection, business

management to the mobile device population. xLink consists of the following components and associated functionality:

Mobility Connector is a reporting and bi-directional data mapping engine to other supporting databases such as SQLServer, DB2,

Xpedium accelerates the development and deployment of mobile and wireless software solutions for DSD, Field Sales, Pickup & Delivery, Inspections and Asset Management. The xMobility® Solution Suite leverages over 25 years of mobile software design and consulting experience to deliver a mobility communications, management and application development platform that gets you up and running fast. You can develop a full application quickly and easily using tools in the xMobility Solution Suite. You can also use one of our Ready-to-Work applications as is, or rapidly customize it to meet your unique requirements. Whatever approach you choose Xpedium solutions will help you streamline your business processes, lower total cost of ownership and give you a differentiated competitive edge.

xMobility® Solution Suite

intuitive graphical drag-and-drop tool dramatically simplifies the integration and implementation process using powerful XML data.

Mobility Console, the heart of xLink, provides browser-based access to all functions under security password control. Mobility Console accommodates the entry and maintenance of data such as messaging, merchandising surveys or asset management field inspections. A business analytics and report writer engine resides in Console along with an advanced document archive and query system for electronic storage of documents with signatures and imager or camera captured information. It also lets the user schedule and monitor mobile client communications.

Mobility Sync works in concert and under the control of the Mobility Console to perform authentication and validation as well as data encryption and secure communications.

xMobility Development SuiteXMobility Development Suite is a Services Oriented Architecture comprised of .Net objects and XML data stored in a SQL database. The development suite provides a common and field tested set of generic .NET services to every Xpedium mobile application deployed for Direct Store Delivery, Proof of Delivery, Field Sales/Service, Inspections and Asset Management. The

Mobility Designer allows extensive modifications to the behavior of the services without creating or changing any of the underlying C# code. If required, custom services may be written by Xpedium or the customer in conjunction with the licensed development suite to create highly customized applications.

xMobility Development Suite facilitates the Agile Software Development Process and delivery of customer-specific production level applications in significantly less time, with less cost and less risk because all the essential building blocks have already been developed and field tested. xMobility Development Suite is comprised of three major components for modifying Ready-to-Work applications or building new ones:

Mobility Framework is a Services Oriented Architecture of plug-in generic services included in all applications and custom services used to tailor the software for a particular vertical application.

Mobility Designer includes a graphical Report Writer for document modifications or design and a graphical Screen Writer to modify or design screens.

Mobility Configurator is a graphical tool to configure business rules, workflow and system peripherals.

xMobility Development Suite: ▪ Consists of Mobility

Framework, Mobility De-signer and Mobility Con-figurator tools to make application development quick and easy

▪ Provides field tested objects for DSD, P&D, Field Sales, Inspections and Asset Management applications

▪ Allows modifications to the behavior of the objects without changing the underlying code

▪ Speeds development time because all essen-tial building blocks have already been developed and tested.

xLink provides a suite of integrated products to deliver a complete mobility management platform: ▪ Field Operations

Reporting and Analysis ▪ Merchandising Survey

Management ▪ Document Archive and

Retrieval ▪ Messaging ▪ Hours of Service (HOS)

reporting, Fuel Tax & DOT Reporting

▪ Interface to Route Scheduling and Management Systems

▪ Device Management & Communications Dashboard
