AllSoft Technologies Networking and Multi User Point Of Sale

If you run a warehouse and have salesmen on the road that you manage from your warehouse, the Tool Manager computer program will help you manage your salesmen, their customers, and inventories.

The following illustration demonstrates how Tool Manager can be setup for multiple users. This illustration shows a warehouse computer and three trucks on the road. On the Warehouse Computer screen are four copies of the Tool Manager computer program. Three are for salesmen Joe, Fred, and Tom and the fourth is for the warehouse.  Optionally the warehouse Tool Manager can be networked to many other users, so many people in the warehouse can simultaneously use the same Tool Manager computer program.  Each of the three trucks (Joe, Fred, and Tom) have copies of the Tool Manager computer program running on computers in their trucks.

There are two ways to keep the warehouse computer up to date with the truck computers. One is to have each salesmen on the trucks perform a Tool Manager backup and mail or email you the backup data. You will then take the backup data and restore it to the appropriate Tool Manager program running on the warehouse computer. As an example, Tom would backup his Tool Manager on his truck and give you a diskette or R/W-CD.  You will take this and run Tom’s Tool Manager on your warehouse computer.  Then perform a Tool Manager Restore.  Now the warehouse computer for Tom is identical to Tom's truck computer.

Another way to keep the warehouse computer up to date with the truck computers is to have the truck computers on a wireless network. Then the truck computer will run the version of Tool Manager that is installed on the warehouse computer, which makes the warehouse computer for the salesmen always up to date in real time.

To update the salesmen’s inventory, you set up in your warehouse a copy of Tool Manager with the salesmen (Joe, Fred, and Tom) as customers.  You then sell these customers items from your inventory by fulfilling orders from each salesman.  The salesmen can mail, fax, or email you their orders directly from the Tool Manager computer program running on their trucks.

To give the salesmen inventory price updates, you can export your inventory from the warehouse computer and import the inventory into the salesmen’s computers.  Because an import will update rather than replace, the salesmen’s quantities remain unchanged by the import.
