The foundation of the DBI Warehouse Shipments Framework is based on four primary building blocks

The DBI Warehouse Shipments Framework is a product that provides the building blocks necessary to create a complete application for the scheduling of both inbound and outbound warehouse shipments. There are four primary application building blocks that define the foundation for this industry proven framework: 

Object Definitions and Data binding

The Object Definitions and Data binding Block include methods and services for data binding to SQL Server and for data binding to OLE databases.

The Warehouse Shipments Scheduling Framework comes with a complete set of table structures for connecting to ADO.NET compliant databases.

Through the foundation of the application building blocks, programming efficiencies can realized leveraging the Warehouse Shipments Scheduling Framework custom objects and customized WinForms controls.

User Interface Components and Controls

Being able to quickly and effectively use the dbiWSF product has been a cornerstone in building the Warehouse Shipments Scheduling Framework which means a standard Windows-style user interface is ready for deployment or ready to accept an organization's own design standards and custom branding.

We know that creating reports can be a time consuming and costly process - we've taken direct steps to provide the most efficient reporting mechanism possible complete with streamlined display and printing services.

Most of the visual presentations found in the Warehouse Shipment Scheduling Framework are hinged on DBI's award winning User Interface design controls and Scheduling component software. The WSF includes an Enterprise License of Solutions Schedule for .NET and a Site of Studio Controls for .NET - two great, reusable values.

Business Process Logic

The time and labour intensive analysis and design processes are complete. Using commercial software development standards, the analysis, design and application development processes have been turned into a productized set of focused business rules, developer objects, with an integrated data binding facility for a low cost, low risk, warehouse shipments scheduling solution that can be used right out-of-the-box or tailored to your own specifications.

Developer Resources

Great software is inspired from outstanding developer experiences. Part of that experience comes from a great set of developer resources - resources that are found with every license of the Framework starting with:

• SQL Server and Microsoft Access demo databases

• Great tutorial-style Developing With the Warehouse Shipments Scheduling Framework Video Library

•  VB .NET Demo Application complete with data binding and reporting

• VB .NET Code Snippets

• Our quick start VB .NET Project Template already with pre-coded references and object licensing

• Fully documented help file

• Fully commented and documented source code.
