Mobile Data Sync Stages

There are three stages to a mobile data sync, with each stage representing a different step of the mobile sync process. 

1. Collate Information
The app is gathering all the FireMate data located on the device

2. Send Data
The collected data is sent to FireMate. This is where the data is packaged and saved as a log, and then sent to the associated desktop database

3. Get Data
The app is retrieving the data from FireMate desktop that has been allocated to the specific FireMate mobile user.
