Online One Unveils oneScan iPad Application for NetSuite

SYDNEY, Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Online One Pty Ltd, a provider of online applications, today unveiled the oneScan™ iPad application for NetSuite ( NYSE: N), a mobile solution that has brought the first cloud ERP suite to Apple's iPad. Built using NetSuite's SuiteCloud platform, the new oneScan™ iPad application enables wholesalers and distributors to access NetSuite and manage their key business processes on the iPad, no matter where they are.

Already in use by Australian businesses, oneScan for NetSuite helps reduce operating and IT costs while improving productivity by abandoning traditional warehouse floor solutions such as expensive scan gun technology and PDA options. With oneScan and NetSuite, warehousing and distribution companies can replace onerous and error prone paper-based warehouse picking processes, get real-time visibility into stock and inventory information while performing daily warehouse floor tasks, and eliminate double entry and common operator errors.

Brian Billingsley, Technical Director of Online One, said: "oneScan extends the benefits of NetSuite's cloud ERP to every aspect of business – front-office, back-office, through to the rigorous demands of the warehouse floor. With oneScan, we're pleased to bring the power of NetSuite to the iPad and enable firm's to rapidly transition warehouse staff from laborious data entry to productive customer service roles."

Working with NetSuite

oneScan runs entirely in NetSuite, and provides mobile warehouse floor personnel with an application designed specifically to streamline their day to day tasks, using either the iPad touchscreen and/or a Bluetooth connected barcode scanner. oneScan minimises operator errors by providing warehouse personnel with immediate validation at the point of entry right on the warehouse floor, ensuring that the data matches exactly the actual stock on hand, together with the location and the serial/batch numbers.

And because oneScan runs on NetSuite, data is always up to date, so when items are picked, the effect on stock levels is immediate – and visible throughout the business. It takes full of advantage of NetSuite's powerful customization capabilities, by being completely optimized for the iPad's easy to read access screens and functions, and is configurable for different user requirements across multiple warehouse types - making the job of warehouse personnel easier and more productive than ever before.

Online One was able to deliver the oneScan application with unprecedented speed to market by taking advantage of the power of the SuiteCloud platform. By leveraging the ease of customization, the flexibility to address the unique needs of specific verticals, together with the deep functionality of NetSuite's cloud based ERP, SuiteCloud and NetSuite were clearly the platform of choice for Online One to quickly take advantage of this new rapidly evolving market opportunity.

Chris Schafer, APAC Managing Director of NetSuite, said: "Technologies like the Apple iPad provide tantalizing market opportunities for ISVs – but only if they can address these opportunities quickly and cost effectively. The NetSuite SuiteCloud platform enables ISVs such as Online One to introduce high quality, powerful and industry specific applications with unprecedented speed and cost effectiveness. With oneScan, wholesale and distribution companies can cut operating costs and improve efficiency with its cutting edge, sophisticated but simple to use functionality."

Steve Jobs Phones Developer of Rejected <b>iPad</b> Application - Mac Rumors

Thursday November 11, 2010 02:21 PM EST
Written by Eric Slivka

Economy for iPad
Apple CEO Steve Jobs' responses to customer emails are well-known and given great attention as official "from the horse's mouth" statements regarding Apple's products and plans, despite the fact that many of his statements are brief and vague enough to give away little information. According to The Seattle Times, however, Jobs has gone a step further and telephoned a developer who wrote him an email after having his iPad application rejected from the App Store for using a private application programming interface (API). Frustrated by Apple's rejection of his iPad app, Seattle developer Ram Arumugam e-mailed Chief Executive Steve Jobs. Two hours later, he picked up a phone call and heard: "Ram, this is Steve." Jobs was on the other end.

The two talked about Arumugam's app, called "Economy for iPad," and why it was rejected by Apple.

Arumugam, a former Microsoft employee now heading up a company developing iOS applications, and Jobs discussed the developer's usage of a private API to deal with what Arumugam considered to be a bug in the behavior of the iPad's on-screen keyboard. At the conclusion of the discussion, Arumugam agreed to remove the private API, and Economy for iPad was quickly accepted into the App Store.

Jobs' phone call is not the first time an Apple executive has directly intervened in the App Store review process, as senior vice president Phil Schiller has been known to reply via email and telephone in rare cases related to App Store issues.
