Ken, We have two similar use cases linked to our i.LEVEL solution. Order Taker - This is for sales agents throughout Europe selling a large range of fashion clothing and jewellery Store Controller - This is for concession store managers travelling the country visiting their concessions in hundreds of retail chains
Both systems download sync code data before they head off to do their jobs and when next able upload orders, store notes images and recommendations. The comms is done via REST as we have built a full REST stack into the main system. The Order Taker was originally built on SOAP but we are now transitioning away from that and next season it will be fully REST based. No iPads though. One or two clients originally suggested that they wanted iPads but when we offered them a far cheaper, more reliable solution (written in 4D) that could be used on Mac or PC laptops as well as cheap as chips windows 10 tablets we got real traction on sales. We now have more than half a dozen clients using the solutions and approaching hundreds of agents and store controllers. 4D is not the best application to write touch based applications in, as it still has some issues, but it is an effective and cost effective solution.
