FAQs

What is ACQUIRE?

ACQUIRE is Cooper Software's mobile data capture and barcoding solution for warehouses. It replaces manual data entry and paper forms with barcode scanning on handheld devices, working alongside IFS to give real-time visibility where a connection is available and syncing automatically once it returns. 

What is ACQUIRE used for?

ACQUIRE captures warehouse data on mobile devices and automates transactions such as goods movements and shipping. It removes manual data entry errors, improves traceability of batches and serials across the supply chain and moves teams from paper forms to a digital process. 

Which versions of IFS does ACQUIRE work with?

ACQUIRE integrates with all versions of IFS, including IFS Cloud. 

What devices does ACQUIRE run on?

ACQUIRE runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile and Android, so it works on the handheld devices commonly used across warehouse operations. 

How does ACQUIRE integrate with IFS?

ACQUIRE uses IFS's Service-Oriented Component Architecture (SOCA) and web services, working alongside your existing IFS processes rather than against them. It needs no secondary database and no modification to your core IFS environment. 

Does ACQUIRE work without a network connection?

Yes. ACQUIRE is built for environments such as cold stores and dense-racking warehouses where a stable connection is not always available. Data is captured on the device and syncs to IFS automatically once connection returns. 

Is ACQUIRE secure?

Yes. ACQUIRE permissions are based on IFS security, so users can only access the tasks they are authorised to. Defaults such as site selection are set automatically, keeping access consistent with your existing IFS setup. 

Does ACQUIRE support traceability and shipping integration?

Yes. ACQUIRE captures the key data needed to trace batches and serials across the supply chain, and connects with carrier and ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) integrations to help automate the shipping side of warehouse operations.
