+<p class="contenttext">Codesquare Helix is a complete warehouse inventory and
sales system. It
+takes the power of the OFBIZ backend and adds a Java based desktop client
+interface. This provides an easily installable client that lets
+customers determine what aspects of OFBIZ are made available to its
+operators. By making use of a chat client to traffic serialized
+inventory processing requests, Helix can support multiple client
+installations asynchronously.</p>
+
+<p class="contenttext">The main aspects of the Helix client are management of
warehouse items,
+locations, use of hand-held scanners, point of sale, and order fulfillment.
+The user interface can be highly customized for each type of business and
+allows the addition of a business logic layer that makes decisions before
+any information is sent to or retrieved from the OFBIZ backend.</p>
+
+<p class="contenttext">Codesquare Helix has also made use of the OFBIZ web
site capabilities to
+provide an online sales portal that is linked to the warehouse inventory.
+The web site content delivery system has been modified to provide greater
+support for stylesheets to improve customization of sites.</p>
+
+<p class="contenttext">Finally, another application, Helix RNA, synchronizes
the web site and
+warehouse systems to provide integrated order fulfillment capabilities. At
+specified intervals, it replicates the inventory and order data from the
+central OFBIZ database and any satellite databases used to support Helix
+based web sites. This allows for truly scalable and distributed data
+management and delivery.</p>
