The Real Reasons to Mobilize


Handheld computers are fun, although the CFO is unlikely to approve their purchase unless there are better reasons to purchase. Here are some very real reasons for your consideration:

  • Cash management - quickly invoice for work done, invoice accurately and avoid disputes
  • Better fuel mileage - dispatch work crews to the closest job, on the right routes and send them out with the right tools and supplies the first time.
  • Improved productivity - avoid wasted driving time, and inefficient paper work
  • Improved customer service - respond faster, bring the right tools and parts the first time
  • Visibility into inventory use - monitor parts and inventory used and apply these to the right customer accounts. Make sure you aren't losing parts and supplies to theft and loss.
  • Reduced liability - accurate documentation of work, wirelessly synchronized with the headquarters database for storage.
  • Improve quality and performance - compare times, work productivity, customer satisfaction and profitability of each employee through automated time stamping and handheld work orders synchronized with the central database.

The bottom line, you can do more work, make more money, for less risks and expenses by mobilizing your remote business processes.
