Redwood Mobile WMS Application

Oracle is proud to introduce our new Redwood Mobile Application, a modern, mobile app that provides all the functionality of our feature-rich RF application, but with a new Redwood mobile user-experience. This feature is generally available for all customers as of 24D. This new Progressive Web Application (PWA) is browser-based, which removes any dependency on SSH middle ware, making it much easier to deploy, access and update. In addition to providing all the RF functionality, Redwood mobile also offers the following:
  • Display of item images in many key screens
  • Ability to use the device camera to scan barcodes
  • Touch enabled modern graphical Redwood mobile UI

This new UI brings you a touch-based mobile interface for all your warehousing transactions using mobile devices, but also retains the CTRL key functionality and key based navigation used on traditional ruggedized devices, that may not be touch-enabled. Amazingly, this new mobile app also leverages the same screen parameters, configurations, field names (literals), translations and process-flows of our best-of-breed character-based RF app. So deployment, training and user adoption will be drastically minimized, and you’ll also be able to access all the functionality from years and years of development!

If you're running Redwood Mobile on mobile devices, there are minimum operating system recommendations and requirements. For an updated list of the supported Operating Systems and Web Browsers, please refer to the Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud Technical Requirements Guide. Redwood Mobile supports the same Single Sign on (SSO) options as supported by the desktop application, while the RF mobile application only supported some limited options. This opens up the option of using 2FA (Second factor authentication) with Redwood mobile, that was not possible with RF.

The text based Mobile RF application running over SSH is still available for customers to use. New customers are encouraged to test Redwood Mobile thoroughly and make a decision between Redwood mobile and text based RF. Existing customers are encouraged to test Redwood mobile in test environments, followed by limited trials in production, such as for specific groups in specific sites, before rolling it out on a larger scale.
