It is designed to integrate wireless client devices with an XML partner interface. It is both operating system independent and device independent and supports application development and deployment on Windows NT®, UNIX® and Linux®. Future releases of eXpresso will support WAP-enabled devices.

For manufacturing, retail, logistics, healthcare, government and education, eXpresso greatly reduces implementation costs for delivering  integrated mobile supply chain applications.
