Hi all,

today was "one of those days" in work.

We had some issues with one branche office and we needed to send a team to do a new inventory report. But we used all the available licenses from the warehouse inventory module in our ERP and there wasn't any handheld device with software loaded available ( bussy season all devices loaded with software was in use ...) .

( We use a proprietary warehouse inventory software in PDA's to keep track stock in / outs, picking / packing, etc ).

I had little time to solve the situation and the E.R.P. support wasn't able to find that doc or this exec or the other technician to open a few more licenses.

Free Pascal / Lazarus to the rescue ...

In exactly 3 hours i had ready a very simple inventory software for the Intermec CN2B Handheld ( the model the branch use ) ... Just type,compile and run. Don't have any experience with sqlite so i used TDBF as db for the mobile. From then i tested a lot to see if i can find the bugs ( cause i'm sure there are bugs, i'm just need to find them ASAP ), fixing, compiling, run ... What can i say ...

THANK YOU very much for the Free Pascal compiler and for the Lazarus / LCL which helped me to solve a problem which with my current skills ( Delphi / Object Pascal ) it would remain unsolved costing my company money effectively jeopardising my work.

Thank you,

Dimitrios Chr. Ioannidis

Sounds great! Will you rewrite the rest of the ERP system in those quiet days between Christmas and New Year? ;-)

If it is ok with you maybe the team can post this somewhere on the website as succes-story?

Kind regards,
Birger Jansen
