Spaceman® Application Builder

Featuring Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications

Spaceman Application Builder offers you the most flexibility and automation possible for your challenging everyday tasks. Spaceman Application Builder uses Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a development environment that allows you to customize your merchandising application desktop. VBA offers a set of programming tools based on the Microsoft Visual Basic rapid application development system. This enables users to integrate their merchandising tools into virtually any process.

Visual Basic for Applications provides tools familiar to your developers who use Visual Basic. Some of the tools are Projects Window, a Properties Window and debugging. VBA also supports Microsoft Forms for creating custom dialog boxes and ActiveX controls for building custom user interfaces that you can incorporate into your Spaceman Application Builder user interface.

Benefits to your users
Customization integrated into the applications requires less training to your users. Users can concentrate on analyzing and building planograms and less time in daily routines that can be automated.
