snapfulfil Nominated for Worldwide Industry Award

Hosted, no capital cost warehouse system snapfulfil has been nominated for the Sybase Innovators Award. Held annually, the awards celebrate innovators worldwide who have used "technology to create cutting-edge applications and success for their organizations."

Sybase, the largest enterprise software and services company exclusively focused on managing and mobilising information, organise the awards in several categories. The snapfulfil system, based on the snapondemand hosted service, has been nominated for the Information Anywhere category, which focuses on mobile enterprise applications.

"We are obviously delighted to receive the nomination for this award, judged on innovative use of Sybase technology by organisations the world over," commented Mark Darley-Usmar, managing director of the snapfulfil developers. "It is only several years of development resources and use of advanced technology that has allowed us to provide a real time warehouse management system as a hosted service, while achieving the sort of performance previously only attainable with costly, large scale on site systems."

Darley-Usmar also said that Sybase has been instrumental in helping to offer Tier 1, triple redundancy and data encryption in the snapondemand hosted environment (http://www.snapondemand.com). "I'm pleased that they recognise our efforts to implement that technology in a new and exciting way. Sybase database technology and the snapfulfil WMS application, utilising the Software as a Service model, allow us to provide powerful desktop and RF based solutions to warehouse operations large and small with no setup costs or lengthy implementations."

snapfulfil is a new type of hosted service which charges a simple, monthly fee for an all in one package (http://www.snapondemand.com/whatcost.cfm) and can be up and running in 30 days. Delivered using the snapondemand service, implementation even includes the advanced system itself, plus an on-site RF network with hand held terminals (http://www.snapondemand.com/warehouse.html). The package also includes connectivity to the resilient and secure hosted environment (http://www.snapondemand.com).

All the user requires is a PC and the availability of broadband. There is no actual software to install and maintain on site. For administrative and management users everything is accessed through a PC's standard web browser, eliminating the typical IT overhead of PC and server support, regular backups and software updates.
