Portable Data Entry

PDE is an acronym for Portable Data Entry. A PDE is a small hand-held device that allows for data to be entered into it, which can then be transferred to a configured terminal that will process the data into a relevant software program.

Within Idealpos a PDE has the ability to perform Stocktake, Stock Transfer and Stock Receive procedures. A PDE has the ability to enter the details of stock items by using a scanner or keypad input. PDE’s do not work with Idealpos until the Idealpos PDE program has been installed on the device.
