The pervasive server accesses the inventory system in the same way as the
data entry clerks do. In doing this, it extends the inventory system access to
mobile clients (delivery staff). Data is entered offline in the electronic form

inventory system later on. For this data transmission, the handheld device is
placed in a cradle with a network connection to the pervasive server (for
example, directly through Ethernet or a network-attached service PC).
