Mobile computing could change the way you do business
updated January 11th, 2007
If you collect data, feedback, inspection results, invoices and receipts throughout your daily work. Then before you can complete your day, you have to file and perhaps do data entry into your accounting system etc.
You may have assistants - but can they always read your writing or know what job the receipt stub corresponds to? Mobile computing solutions may be an answer to your problems. There is a range of possible solutions, both in terms of technology and scale of device (laptop, PDA, blackberry) that could be used - it depends on your specific requirements. This is where Ulysses Software's experience becomes invaluable in selecting the optimal solution.
Here are some examples
Spend less than $1000 to purchase Dragon Voice Recognition Software and a Sony voice-recorder. Its worth getting a good (bluetooth) headset. Then count the hours of paid work you will save paying your assistant to decipher your writing. Just docking your recorder will download and translate the records to text. Its then a simple task to insert these into report templates - or use as appropriate.
Implement a 3D Inspection system PDA reportwriter to build reports for your daily building inspections. Record the information at the worksite the synchronise your PDA reports with your office to automatically build customer reports and associated invoices.
Here is an example PDA solution whose primary objective was to reduce multiple data entries, co-ordinate and schedule work and simplify compliation of the customer report.
