Mobile Connect

mobile connect allows salepeople to run the progress db and a skinny version of vantage on their laptops. They then synch up to your main server. As of version 808F it was broken and synching was not working. It also will not work if the mobile users are not on the same patch level as the server. I would not recommend it currently.

We are in the implementation stage of Vantage 8.0 and we are looking
for companies that are using Mobile Connect (is this the same thing as
Service Mobile Connect?) and any documentation or information that you
could supply for this to be a success.









[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Does anyone use the Mobile Connect module in version 6.1?
Does anyone have Mobile Connect?



If so, can you tell me how long it takes to synchronize and how often
you do it?



Thanks!

What version are you running? How many territories do you have and how
many of those do you want your sales team to have access to? Do you
want to sync all data (financial, order and production) or just some of
it?

All of these things will factor into your sync time and the systems
capabilities.

I am on 6.1, but will be upgrading to 8.0 in a year.

I don't have mobile connect yet, but if I bought it I would be
synching 4 salesmen with only their own territories. I would probably
want to sync all data.

Thanks!

Ben,

I don't know anything about 8.0, but I've been told by many people at
Epicor that the 8.0 syncing works very well. Unfortunately that was not
the experience that I had with 6.1

The sync time in 6.1 with only one territory and all data should take no
more than 30 minutes depending on your database size and frequency of
syncing (I recommend once per day if possible). I do recommend turning
off the production part of the sync as this will increase the sync time.
In addition, we weren't very successful with accurately syncing the
production data, but again, we've been told this has been fixed in 8.0
(and maybe even 6.1 but I don't know because we no longer use Mobile
Connect).

If you have any other questions let me know because I don't think there
are very many (if any at all) Mobile Connect 6.1 users.

Michelle

If anyone has any setup or user guides for Mobile Connect 6.1 can you
please send them to me?



I just got this in the mail today, and the online install guide is WEAK.
I cannot get it set up, and Epicor isn't answering their phones.



Thanks!!!!
