## Short answer

Propel Apps Mobile Supply Chain is an offline-first mobile app for barcode and QR receiving, putaway, cycle counting and label printing on Zebra, Honeywell, iOS and Android devices. It is positioned as an Oracle EBS MSCA replacement and is also listed on Oracle Cloud Marketplace for Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM.

## Product

## Vendor

## Category

Mobile inventory and RF barcode data collection

## Integration

**Method:** Oracle Cloud Marketplace listing and EBS replacement for MSCA

**Detail:** Propel describes the app as listed on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace and as a replacement for the Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA) screens in Oracle EBS. For EBS, confirm with Propel which interfaces and EBS versions it uses, because the public page is a marketing description.

## Data Flows

**From:** Oracle EBS or Fusion

**To:** Propel app

**Data:** Items, locators, open POs and orders

**Trigger:** Sync or scan

**From:** Propel app

**To:** Oracle EBS or Fusion

**Data:** Receipts, putaway, counts

**Trigger:** Online post or after offline reconnect

**From:** Propel app

**To:** Label printer

**Data:** Labels

**Trigger:** After the transaction

## Setup

### Compare MSCA to your needs

**Detail:** List the MSCA screens your warehouse uses and mark which have to exist in the app.

### Agree the deployment model

**Detail:** Confirm hosting and network paths to EBS with Propel and your IT team.

### Create the integration user

**Detail:** Give it responsibilities limited to inventory and receiving.

### Set up devices

**Detail:** Enroll Zebra or Honeywell scanners, or phones, in your device management.

### Configure offline rules

**Detail:** Decide what can be done offline and how conflicts are resolved on reconnect.

### Pilot and compare

**Detail:** Run side by side with MSCA for one count cycle.

## Pitfalls

- Offline transactions that arrive after the stock has moved cause conflicts; define how they are resolved.
- Differences from MSCA screens cause retraining effort.
- EBS patch levels and customizations may affect the interfaces; test against a clone.
- Label formats for printers need matching to the label software in use.
- Licence terms for devices and users vary, so confirm before scaling.

## Ai Layer

### Offline sync conflict review

**Description:** A private assistant lists transactions that failed after reconnect and explains why, proposing a fix for a supervisor to approve.

### Count variance analysis

**Description:** Combine counts, receipts and transfers to suggest where variances come from.

### Ask the warehouse

**Description:** Answer which receipts are open and who last handled an item, from both systems.

## Alternatives

- Keep Oracle MSCA if the screens meet your needs and the platform is supported for your EBS version.
- RFgen MobileEdge is another EBS mobile platform with mature coverage.
- A full WMS suits warehouses with directed picking, not just scan-driven transactions.

## Faq

### Does it replace MSCA?

**Answer:** Propel positions the app as an Oracle EBS MSCA replacement, offering mobile receiving, putaway and cycle counts on current devices. Whether it covers every MSCA screen you use is something to check in a demo with your own transactions, particularly manufacturing and any customizations.

### Does it work without connectivity?

**Answer:** Propel describes it as offline-first, so scanning continues when the network drops and transactions sync later. Decide in advance how stale validation data and conflicts are handled, because offline posting can collide with changes made by others in the meantime.

### Is it also for Fusion Cloud?

**Answer:** Yes, Propel lists the app on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace for Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM as well. This page focuses on EBS because that is the commonly on-prem Oracle estate. Ask Propel to confirm the feature list for each ERP separately.
