Posted by Erin Hodges On November - 9 - 2010

Provide your professional installation team with the tools they need to improve customer satisfactionMobility provides a variety of ways for delivery and installation crews to better serve customers.  When a consumer purchases an item that must be professionally installed, they want it done right and in a timely manner.  With a mobile device in hand, field workers have access to detailed information about the work order in real-time.  Eliminating paper processes and providing your workers with mobile devices enables:

  • Efficient routing and dispatching
  • GPS capabilities
  • Access to detailed work orders
  • Access to installation diagrams
  • Signature capture for proof of completion

When combined with a mag-stripe reader and mobile printer, field workers can even process payments in the field and provide customers with a receipt on the spot.  Access to detailed job tickets also enables employees to upsell while on location by offering warranty agreements during installation.

Controlling Mobile Devices in the Field

Posted by Erin Hodges On December - 3 - 2009

Mobile Computer Lockdown ChoicesBusinesses provide mobile devices to employees in the field to increase productivity and efficiency.  Sometimes these very devices can be the cause of decreased productivity by distracting workers and allowing them to access applications that aren’t pertinent to their job, such as games and Web access for personal use.  However, businesses can easily combat this issue by adding lockdown solutions that provide complete control over applications and functionality of devices in the field.  These solutions protect productivity by preventing unauthorized device usage.  With complete control, management can:

  • Prohibit the installation of non-approved applications
  • Employees can only access applications pertinent to their job
  • Set access policies for specific individuals or entire workgroups
  • Secure the device if it’s lost or stolen

The ability to restrict personal use of mobile computers in the field maintains productivity and profitability.
