Advantage of WebXpress Mobility architecture
• The application talks DIRECTLY to web-server over GPRS or Wi-Fi
• There is NO MIDDLEWARE at the warehouse- thus no server, no
maintenance, no downtime
• The application uses Web-services over Wi-Fi or GPRS over HTTP,
thus not requiring special firewall settings needed for an FTP or an
SQL query.
• This also does away with docking, sync partnerships etc.
• The application retrieves data from web BUT then works offline.
ALL validations of a given form are carried out within the device.

WebXpress Bar Coding Solution
Solution
• WebXpress helps you to manage entire work flow using Bar Coding• Every package is assigned a Unique Barcode Identification or UBI• UBI sticker can be pre-printed or can be generated using
WebXpress Barcode Generation utility• All arrival and departure counting are then done using bar code
scan, replacing manual counting of boxes• Any shortage or extra is indicated by WebXpress system by
flashing the error • This reduces instances of misrouting and shortages• Also, at any point of time the UBI number can provide the details
of the box such as docket number, origin, destination, consignor and consignee etc.
Solution Requirements
• Option 1: Pre-printed barcode stickers– Series controlled barcode stationery– Bar code readers at booking location, hubs and delivery
location– WebXpress bar code management module
• Option 2: WebXpress generated barcode stickers– WebXpress barcode generation utility– Barcode printer to print labels– Bar code readers at booking location, hubs and delivery
location– WebXpress bar code management module
Solution Option Comparison
Option 1: Pre-printer labels
• No need to deploy bar code printers
• Series control required on bar code labels
• User needs to enter exact range of labels used at the time of docket entry
• User has to manually write docket number, from-to, no.
• Useful when we have less number of packages and printing is not feasible at customer location
Option 2: WebXpress generated labels
• Bar code label printer required at point of generation of labels
• No series management required as numbers are system generated
• No need to enter data as system generated numbers after docket entry
• Not required
• Used for high-volume regular customers where onsite facilities are justified
Bar code label format
• This is example of bar code label generated from WebXpress
• As can be noticed system prints all information such as docket number, packages, bar code, locations etc.
• This is printed using a thermal printer attached to a PC/laptop
• Labels are generated on docket entry
ABC [email protected]: 1 800 7650
Device requirements: Thermal Printer
• Option 1: PC based printer– Customer can deploy a standard high-output bar code
printer– This printer will be connected to a PC/laptop– User will enter docket in WebXpress and then print labels
using WebXpress bar code printing utility
• Option 2: Bluetooth Printer– In this case, user will use a mobile barcode printer– This will be connected to a PC/laptop with bluetooth
connectivity– User will enter docket in WebXpress and then print labels
using WebXpress bar code printing utility
Printer Option Comparison
Option 1: PC based printer
• Used for high volume printing• Needs connection to
PC/laptop
• Needs electricity connection• Lower cost per print• Not mobile- fixed to a desk
Option 2: Bluetooth printer
• Used for less number of prints • Connects wirelessly to HHT or
a PC/laptop• Works on a battery• Higher cost per print• Mobile and can be taken to
any location
Barcode reader option Comparison
Option 1: PC based printer Option 2: Bluetooth Printer
Price range: Rs. 7000-14000 Price range: Rs. 35000-85000
Device requirements: Barcode reader
• Option 1: Wired reader– Customer can deploy a barcode reader connected to a
PC or a laptop– In such a case, wired barcode reader or a bluetooth
barcode reader will be used
• Option 2: Hand Held Terminal (HHT)– Customer can also deploy a handheld terminal for
reading barcodes directly into WebXpress application– This will require a Hand Held Terminal with Wi-Fi/GPRS
connectivity and Windows Mobile/CE operating system– This will also require installation of WebXpress HHT
solution into the device– The hub/branch also needs to be Wi-Fi enabled
Barcode reader option Comparison
Option 1: Wired reader
• Bar code reader connected to a PC/laptop
• As length of wire is limited, scanning workstation needs to be near to loading/off loading gate
• WebXpress application on PC should be running and online to use the system
• Less flexibility for movement of reader. Typically suitable for small to medium boxes
• Ideally used on a conveyer belt
Option 2: Hand Held Terminal
• Independent terminal used by an operator. Connected using Wi-Fi/GPRS
• As this is a wireless device, it can be taken to any area in hub
• Application is loaded on HHT and does not require online connectivity while scanning. Requires connectivity at start and end of each activity
• High flexibility to user for scanning a box. Suitable for all types of loads, all weights
• Ideally used for high volume activity over a large area
