Bytronics CargoSOFT software is a software designed for managing weighing of imported and exported products in a warehouse. The software runs on a personal digital assistant (PDA) that is used by the user to record weight and other details of the product either being received in the warehouse or being prepared for dispatch. The data recorded in the personal digital assistant (PDA) is automatically transmitted to a webserver via the wireless local network(WLAN) for generation of reports by the management.
