Print On Demand (POD)
Overview
The Print on Demand (POD) module for Rover INK® Enterprise Software is a component that allows users to pre-populate data from a back-office system direct to Rover INK® forms.
Each page processed through POD is assigned an individual pattern ID. A pattern consists of a series of small dots that create a background and act as map coordinates to track the pen’s movement on the page. The pattern ID follows the pre-populated data throughout the entire workflow process from data capture, to verification and export.
Primary benefits:
- Errors are minimized. The potential for error decreases as pre-populated data reduces data input.
- Double entry is eliminated. Mobile data entry personnel need only enter user-completed information from a form (i.e. pre-populated data on a work order may include a work order number and customer demographic information that will not need to be manually re-entered).
Enterprise level functionality:
- Ability to import information from any back-office system. Back office systems using standard protocols such as XML, CSV, ODBC, as well as proprietary systems, can easily integrate into POD.
- Option to import from multiple systems. Import and Export data from different systems and pre-populate data on one or many forms.
- Ability to print locally from multiple workstations. Utilize color laser-quality printers with the ability to print from one or more workstations.
