Timer Management System (TMS)
16-Dec-11 16 EPOCKET SOLUTIONS
TMS
Handyman TMS is an add-in* which simplifies matters for the user but deepens the information to the office. The add-in is shown as an icon at the bottom of the Handyman main menu and is as easy to use as a stop watch. You start your day by ”punching in”. During the day you don’t finish any tasks but only start new – travels, jobs and breaks. Together all tasks create a sleepless timeline until you ”punch out”. Handyman automatically sends all registrations to the office so that the supervisor is in controll of the day’s activities. In Handyman TMS you get the possibility to adjust settings such as demanding completion of check lists and/or mileage at every or some tasks.

My tasks

On the list containing your data all tasks you need to perform will be collected no matter what order they belong to. The list is sorted by date, status and order and each task can be marked as started, paused, waiting and finished. You can create new tasks which are not linked to an order and the office will see your data and status in the resource planner.

You can easily create a new client or edit existing tasks straight in your mobile.

Checklists & routines
16-Dec-11 23 EPOCKET SOLUTIONS
Checklists is one of the key functions that help create routines and increase the level of service. A basic set of finished check lists are included in installation of Handyman and you can easily create new ones without any previous knowledge in programming. Finished check lists are available for e.g. the electrical, telecommunications, construction, utilities, energy and facilities managment businesses.

GPS, navigation & maps
16-Dec-11 24 EPOCKET SOLUTIONS
You can start navigation in several places in Handyman. There are presets in the order list and the customer database where you can with a single click tell that you want to find a client’s location from your current position. This requires that your PDA has a built in GPS and that you have a navigation program installed. Handyman is integrated with the most common navagation programmes on the market such as TomTom Navigator and Google maps.
