The solution has been developed using standard SAP® R/3® development tools giving customers global ownership within a familiar environment. This solution offers a library of pre-developed best practice and enhanced mobile business processes. These can be readily extended or modified by means of configuration without the need for extensive ABAP™ programming. MiNetConnect is therefore flexible and robust and grows with your business.

Mobile Processes that fit your business
Our implementation team offers a broad range of business process and technical experience within SAP® and over time, using the MiNetConnect platform, have developed a library of pre-developed ‘best practice’ mobile business processes.

These processes are designed around the user by often incorporating multiple SAP® processes required to perform a real world process. This allows managerial decision-making to be done dynamically, based on sub-second information.

By enabling real time stock management in fast pick environments, bottlenecks in stock availability are eliminated, benefiting not only warehouse operations but also the entire Sales Order Process. Dynamic stock counting via MiNetConnect offers huge benefits in that warehouse locations are not ‘locked’ for lengthy periods, stock levels are updated instantaneously and subsequent back office processing, such as inventory clearing, can be seamlessly incorporated.

Low Risk Implementation
MiNetConnect processes can easily be configured to meet specific requirements or even extended to incorporate customer specific ABAP™ development (e.g. validation routines) via the MiNetConnect Workbench.

The MiNetConnect Workbench offers a consistent development and configuration platform for extending or creating new mobile processes thereby reducing support costs, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment.

System Integrity
MiNetConnect extends SAP® R/3® to warehouse operators by capturing data directly into a R/3® screen application. MiNetConnect users are no different to other SAP® GUI users, hence leveraging all the inherent benefits of an ERP system by validating Location, Inventory, Business Documents and other information in real time.

Ownership
All components of MiNetConnect have been developed using SAP® standard ABAP Workbench. This provides complete transparency to customers SAP® application support teams, allowing them to integrate MiNetConnect into existing support processes and procedures.

Should customers wish to modify or enhance the existing mobile processes, the MiNetConnect Workbench provides a user-friendly graphical interface enabling configuration without the need for ABAP™ development.
