Janam Technologies LLC, a provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly, today announced that its XP Series rugged Palm OS mobile computer was selected for Sentient Data Corporation’s REMOTE PDA™ solution.

Sentient Data Corporation, a software firm and service provider based in Canada, delivers a mobile solution for digital catalog automation and order management. Its REMOTE suite of software products allows companies to build digital catalogs with unlimited sections and products. The digital catalogs are used by field sales representatives for presenting relevant information to customers that includes product images, product details and barcodes. To further mobilize the sales force, Janam’s XP20 and XP30 running REMOTE PDA are used to scan barcodes from paper catalogs, laptop screens or on products to signal interest at a showroom or tradeshow.

“We love Janam’s rugged PDAs, as do our customers,” said Michael Murk, President of Sentient Data Corporation. “With the XP Series, our customers enjoy a very fast, dependable PDA that won’t break, lasts all day on a single battery (and can swap batteries without loosing a thing if required) and scans better than any PDA that we’ve ever used. This is the ideal unit for tradeshows where speed, great ergonomics and reliability are paramount.”

“Sentient’s REMOTE 5 Series Solution allows companies to easily integrate data systems,” said Dwight Ogletree, VP of Sales for Janam. “It streamlines business processes and improves the bottom line. We’re pleased that Janam’s fully-featured, rugged Palm devices have proven to be an important component of Sentient’s impressive solution.”
