	AppWrap-Enterprise with SupraSync - Boosting productivity for the healthcare supply chain


	Logistics means having the right thing, at the right place, at the right time.

	Logistics requires up-to-the-minute information of what is being transferred to where and when. Smartphone technology triangulates information of time, place and user intent. AppWrap-Enterprise is a software framework for smartphones and tablets to enable mobile access, dissemination and modification of logistic information. What makes AppWrap decidedly different from ordinary off-the-shelf app makers is its use of SupraSync ("Above Sync").

	SupraSync allows not only for off-line processing ("graceful degradation") when the mobile Internet is not accessible but also determines intelligently when to access the host application. Rather than being connected all the time, thus using costly bandwidth and potentially slowing down processing due to bandwidth contention, SupraSync knows how to switch judiciously from off-line to on-line mode.

	Use Case

	AppWrap-Enterprise with SupraSync is currently being used by a Fortune 500 company for all aspects of its supply chain logistics. The system provides the sales force with pricing and availability information, tracks the use and delivery of parts, supports inventory control and just-in-time delivery and enables timely billing.

	About AppWrap-Enterprise AppWrap-Enterprise is a rapid, fail-safe, secure, cross-platform development solution for mobilizing the cloud-oriented enterprise to enable native access of logistics applications on major smartphones and tablets (BlackBerry, iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows Phone 7, and Symbian when needed). AppWrap enables the developer to use the externalized information from the web-based host application that is responsible for the bi-directional data exchange. AppWrap-Enterprise helps to create a middleware layer for the existing logistics host application. This middleware layer enables the developer to create and maintain smartphone and tablet apps (applications) in a cross-platform fashion with unprecedented efficiency. To achieve this task AppWrap-Enterprise uses a sophisticated methodology including the creation of a proxy class layer and using domain-specific html constructs. As a result, the app is created and maintained in one place and then compiled for the respective operating systems.

	About SupraSync The real magic of AppWrap-Enterprise is SupraSync. SupraSync takes synchronization between the host application and the mobile app to the next level. The established methods for synchronization either require (1) an on/off approach where the app does the processing on the handheld (data communication is off) and then transfers the information to the host (data communication is on) or, (2) the always-on approach where, regardless of bandwidth consumption, the connection between the host and the mobile app is "always-on" and there is constant data transfer. The drawbacks of the on/off approach are two-fold: (1) if the mobile app needs info from the host it has to re-connect potentially wasting time and (2) if mobile user A is manipulating the data while mobile user B is off-line which one takes precedence. The drawbacks of the always-on approach are (1) it wastes bandwidth and (2) it slows down the processing for everyone. SupraSync injects intelligence into the synchronization process between smartphones/tablets and host by determining just when to access the network and when to stay off-line. That's the magic of SupraSync. See SupraSync in action
