Distribution management system based on mobile terminals is studied to solve the problem of information lag, distortion, and information-island in distribution process. A Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA)-based architecture for distribution management system is established by using mobile terminal to collect and display information and Web Service technology to handle and publish data. According to properties of mobile terminals and their browsers, technologies of information display and heterogeneous data formats conversion are studied to develop respective tools. An application system for Apparel Industry is developed as an example to demonstrate the feasibility of the system in kinds of typical mobile terminals.
