Building Businesses with Mobile Handheld PDAs and Mobile Software


I have written a great deal on the value of specific mobile solutions like the following:
  • Mobile Work Orders
  • Mobile Inspections
  • Mobile Job Estimates
  • Mobile Asset Tracking
  • Mobile Delivery Solutions

Today I want to focus on some key problems businesses face, and how mobile solutions can help solve these problems. When a company expands beyond the capabilities of the owner/manager, new employees or contractors must be added. This can often introduce the following kinds of problems:

  • Inexperienced workers
  • Unreliable workers
  • Irresponsible workers
  • Uncommitted workers
  • Forgetful workers
  • Thieves and felons on the payroll

These problems can lead to the following set of issues:

  • Unhappy customers
  • Cost overruns
  • Incomplete and/or incorrect paperwork
  • Inaccurate job estimates
  • Work quality issues
  • Slow work production
  • Lost tools and equipment
  • Management headaches

Believe it or not - many of these issues can be improved and corrected by using mobile software applications on handheld computers to help ensure the best work in the field. Mobile handheld PDAs can help the owner/manager keep better tabs on the work and equipment in the field, ensure completed and correct paperwork, monitor customer satisfaction, and get real time notification if the job is taking longer than anticipated.
