COSMO Mobile Solution
One of the major competitive advantages of medium-sized companies is speed and flexibility. These strengths are based on short and efficient information flows.
Flexible capture and real-time transfer of current data to the ERP system are essential for lean processes in the warehouse. With COSMO Mobile Solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, data is entered and viewed when it is needed, regardless of your location - directly at the point of origin. Handhelds, tablets with touchscreens or stationary screens are available as devices.
The capture of warehouse movements directly at the point of origin and the prompt transfer of the information to the ERP system maps the current situation in the warehouse. This means that downstream business processes, such as picking, have immediate access to this current data. Processes are significantly improved and made more secure with COSMO Mobile Solution.
Application Structure
The COSMO Mobile Solution app consists of three parts: a base application, an intermediate layer, and the client application. Connection among these integrated parts will make the operation smooth and stable.
Base application: A Business Central extension with all the necessary settings that are needed for the client application to run properly.
Intermediate layer: The main task for the intermediate layer is to proxy data provided by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to mobile phones. It uses Business Central's OData API to get data from the ERP system and translates them which will be passed through a REST API for the mobile devices. The intermediate layer is free of a specific type. It recognizes the customers' Business Central schema at runtime. This causes that customers don't have to host this layer on their own, but Cosmo Consult hosts the API.
Client application: A flexible application designed for mobile devices such as phones, handhelds, or bar code scanners.
The solution is available for both SaaS and On-Premises (OnPrem) environments. Functionality is almost the same, but authentication can be different because the OnPrem version allows basic and Windows authentication, while the SaaS version is based on OAuth authentication.
