Dashboard alerts are fully configurable, and can be triggered from any data in your enterprise. Whistle alerts allow you to focus on adding value instead of monitoring the status quo.

Powerful dashboard tool for reporting, event management, and business scorecarding. We build them or you do. Coolearth delivers basic BI at a fraction of the cost of custom report development.

Architecture. Scalability.

Whistle grows as your organization grows. Whistle offers a robust three-tiered client-server architecture that is scalable to any facility size and number of concurrent users. Whistle is extremely portable and can be hosted on a variety of application servers, including Windows Server and UNIX-LINUX operating systems, and works with a variety of relational database platforms. Whistle can continue running during network or database failures.

Whistle’s comprehensive architecture enables clients to choose from character or graphical-based user interfaces. The Whistle application server performs all transactions in Whistle. Customers can install Whistle into the same database as their ERP system or keep it on a separate database or server for greater redundancy. Whistle also comes with built-in barcode label printing, a feature normally available only from third-parties costing upwards of tens of thousands of dollars.

"We required a solution that we could get up and running in less than 30 days. A quick, easy implementation and tight integration with our existing ERP system was a key factor in our selection of Whistle from Coolearth."
