Middleware

Optima understand the need for a seamless link between software and barcode scanning hardware. There are various barcode hardware suppliers in the market offering everything from wearable devices through to voice activate solutions. Each offering the latest technology or 'cheapest price' but the hardware is only useful if it is part off a complete solution.

This is where Optima are different as we are able to make your hardware talk to your software. Through years of experience in providing IT solutions to the stores/warehouse and manufacturing businesses we understand just what is needed to integrate hardware and software.

Optima are not tied to any one barcode hardware provider, so we can help you decide which unit is right for your business and arrange the purchase or we can help you source the hardware yourself.

The next step will be creating the link between your management software and hardware. This link is commonly known as ''middleware''. Optima’s Middleware is a standard package that has configurable parameters that enables two systems to link seamlessly to each other.

Optima middleware can link to all modern barcode hardware and various types of software solutions. Optima have experience in linking many different types of business solutions including Accounts, MRP, ERP, Manufacturing, Warehouse, Stores and Stock Control Software.
