PDA / Palm based Application Development:
e-Zest Solutions Ltd. identifies the following Possible Areas of the application Developments for the PDAs and Palms to be developed in near future:

1. Process Automation System:
The robust built of the PDA suggest the use of these PDAs in heavy industrial environment, While industry processes are generally Micro-controller/PLC/PC controlled, the administration and MIS part of it can be effectively done using these PDAs. This solution can be used for all the manufacturing industries where some automation or no automation of processes is done.

2. Sales force Automation:
Theses PDAs can be effectively used as the mean to capture the data at the Point Of Sale (POS). These types of application will have Credit card related transactions, Online ordering, Order status tracking systems.
Target industries can be Pharma, Engineering works, Courier/Parcel Services.

3. Gaming Software:
One of the biggest software industry, we add the new mobile dimension to it, the improved processing speed and ease to use gives rise to the innumerous innovative games. Since the human-machine interface is different from the conventional interfaces, lot many innovations can be done. e-Zest is working on J2ME based Mobile Games SDK.

4. SMS Management Software:
With instant Communication being the need of hour, we can provide the SMS related services. PDA can act as the SMS client and can be used as the rich GUI SMS list management application.

5. ERP Support System:
In most of the companies the ERP system is in place. The profiles of the managers, employers and employees can be linked with their PDAs so that they can get the information if anything happens with the matter that they are concerned with.
This requires a lot of customization at both the ends, at the ERP server end and at the PDA application as well.

6. Conduit Application Development:
There can be number of such Auto-Sync applications where the captured data/observations are to be synchronized with the Main database and the updation is to be done.
These conduit applications are more like developed ones for the general PDAs.

7. Project/Personal Management Software:
In industrial environment, where many projects are to be managed at the same time a person always need to on the move. This can be the ideal solution, some features that can be included are:

• Schedule and personal activities management.
• Gantt chart and bar chart of the activities of the project on which the person is working /controlling/handling.
• Resource planning
• Project Calendar
• Critical paths of the project.
• System generated alerts

The software can be further customized to fit in the need of the company (Or sector of the company), which intends to use it.
