Real-time Mobile Device Communications

A suite of secure Internet browser applications which compliment mainstream Platinum Software. Designed as a browser application this software runs anywhere that internet access is wirelessly available. Internet on mobile phones and wireless networks are both commonplace. Access information from Platinum anywhere where the internet is available which means populated areas of the planet.

The extra functionality added by Platinum Online takes advantage of the special features specific to mobile devices. Modern mobile phones and similar devices have excellent cameras and displays and provide a platform for mobile computing. We use this functionality to gather images and information where it's either impossible or inconvenient to use conventional computers.

Platinum Online communicates in real time with mainstream Platinum Software providing information and updating Platinum Software in seconds.

Security

In common with other browser applications access is via industry standard encryption and is limited by password and users have to identify themselves and their organisation.

Availability

All of the software necessary for Platinum Online is available free of charge for currently maintained or rented systems on the first device. Use on multiple concurrent devices is simple but extra licences will be required. It is essential that mainstream Platinum Software is updated to the latest version in order to access the latest features of Platinum Online.

Some significant features

  • Upload images for vehicles, stock, workshop jobs.
  • Stock checking, statistics and enquiry.
  • Sales Ledger, Stock, Vehicle and Workshop Dashboards.
  • Real time charts for KPI reporting.
  • Real time reporting from any Platinum Report Generator.
  • Proof of Delivery upload with automatic status change for our Logistic & Haulage users.
  • Sales Order picking (with bar-code support).

  • Desktop Web Browsers (We recommend Chrome for PC and Safari for Apple iMac's)
  • Apple iPhone, iPad.
  • Android Phones and Tablets.

Software Demonstrations

Purchasing the correct software to run your business is vitally important. Getting the correct software will minimise time spent by staff in administration and maximise the effectiveness of your business.

In order to help you make this crucial choice we are very happy to provide free demonstrations of our products to ensure that it performs as you need and expect. This can be done in any one of three ways.

  • We can visit you at your premises, this provides us with an excellent opportunity to assess your requirements.
  • We would be delighted for you to come here to Catalyst, we would love the opportunity to show you our company, it's support facilities and introduce our support team.
  • We can provide, usually at very short notice, an on-line remote demonstration of our software via the Internet.

Which ever way you choose, our aim is to explain how the power of Platinum Software can help your business grow.

For remote demonstrations, we will call you by telephone at the appointed time, simply click on the button below to start the demonstration, we will provide a session ID and password (no software will be installed on your machine and the demonstration is secure and safe).
