On Hand is a powerful tool for performing inventories using a Palm Computing platform handheld device. Inventories can be taken manually on a standard Palm OS unit, and can also be taken using the built-in barcode scanner of the standalone Symbol SPT units, and also with the Symbol CSM150 and PSC Momentum plug-in scanner modules for the Handspring Visor. The software is designed to be entirely button driven, so that a complete inventory can be taken not only without requiring knowledge of Graffiti, but without even using a stylus. This allows the user to hold the device in one hand while positioning items to be inventoried with the other hand. Inventories can be taken using a catalog of items which has been downloaded into the handheld device, in which case the items will be identified by name as seen at the left, or they can be taken "from scratch," collecting barcodes (and quantities) of any items at hand. For collecting inventories without barcodes, On Hand includes Stevens Creek Software's unique IntelliScroll technology, which lets you scroll right to the item you're looking for, rather than scrolling down screen by screen. On Hand lets you take single-location inventories where you record the number of each item on hand, multi-location inventories where you have the same item stored in multiple locations, and serial number inventories where you have many copies of the same item, each with a different serial number, and you want to record information about each individual item. On Hand can also be used to perform asset tracking, recording location and serial number for items to be tracked. On Hand can also perform pick list operations, displaying a list of items to be selected and then removing them from the display once they have been scanned, leaving a display of only those items remaining to be selected.
In either case, the resulting information is then HotSync'ed back to the desktop (Windows or Macintosh), creating a simple text file (tab-delimited or comma-separated) which can be easily imported into any existing desktop database, spreadsheet, or other business management software. The information exported by On Hand is completely configurable (see screen below), so that you can make the resulting file conform exactly to your desktop requirements. With a copy of our PalmPrint software, you'll also be able to print out a copy of the inventory on the spot. And with the latest version of On Hand, and a barcode printer, you'll even be able to print out barcode labels as well. Truly a multifunctional product!

PocketTimer (Palm OS) PocketTimer (Palm OS) is the timing component of our Palm-based race-timing solution, which can be used by itself or in conjunction with the other components of PocketTimer Pro for a more complete solution. Here are the features of PocketTimer:
Logging of times is done on the main screen, shown at right
UnDupe UnDupe - Automatically removes duplicate entries from the Calendar (Date Book), Contacts (Address Book), Memos (Memo Pad), and Tasks (To Do List) (or the Franklin TaskList, if present)
Take An Order! Take An Order! - Take orders and print receipts on the spot from your Palm handheld computer! Use it for taking orders, providing quotations or estimates, supplying delivery reports, and more. Includes tax, shipping, customer identification, and more
SplitTimer SplitTimer - It's customary to have volunteers with stopwatches at various mile markers in a longer race (10K, Marathon, etc.) calling out "splits" so that racers will know how they're doing. The problem is, the time is probably the least interesting statistic to the oxygen-deprived racer. The really interesting numbers are the pace (e.g
AreaCoder AreaCoder - Just to find the numbers in your Address Book that you want to change is no easy task using the built-in Address Book application. The main display of the Address Book displays only one phone number per person; other numbers like the work, fax, pager, etc. of that person aren't shown
SwimCoach SwimCoach for the Palm Computing platform is a combination dual stopwatch and calculator, designed for use by swim coaches in measuring the performance of their swimmers. Stroke rate (cycling rate), stroke length (distance per stroke), and lap times (speed) are all of keen interest to swim coaches
RaceBase RaceBase - There are a number of PC-based race scoring software packages available, and times recorded by PocketTimer can be imported into virtually all of them. But for the complete handheld solution, there's RaceBase. RaceBase combines the times from PocketTimer with information about the race entrants in order to completely score the race
Handy Label Handy Label - There are a number of very nice, very flexible programs available for desktop computers to allow you to print barcode labels. If you have a portable barcode label printer, however, it may well be because you need to print labels "on the go" - while walking around a shop, supermarket, or warehouse, or even in the field
Athlete's Diary Athlete's Diary - The Athlete's Diary is the Palm version of the best-selling athletic training software for Windows and Macintosh. Use it to record fitness activity in up to eight sports - running, cycling, swimming, or anything else. View your data on a daily or weekly basis, as well as totals and graphs of time and distance
CatScan CatScan - Imagine what you could do if you could download up to 32 different catalogs (databases) each containing up to 32 fields and up to 32,767 records into your Palm, Symbol SPT, or Handspring Visor, and quickly look up information in those catalogs manually or by barcode scanning
