Mobile Computing In The Market
1. Service call placed2. Inventory loaded on truck3. Paperwork order ticket4. Work order/delivery complete5. Customer signs order ticket6. Paperwork back for data entry7. Customer doesn’t know job statusLimitations: Manual, labor intensive Lost paperwork Lost time
Process Before/Without Mobile Computing
1. Software/websitea) Computerb) Mobile phone in fieldc) Take pics, signatures
2. Virtual truck order3. Store customer information
a) Contact informationb) Past orders
4. View multiple jobs on one screen (dates, status, etc.)
5. Pricing/info look-up on the spot
Helps: Eliminates paperwork, errors Communicate faster Saves personnel, time, delays,
money, inventory, frustration, trees
Process With Mobile Computing
Range & bandwidth Security standards Power consumption Transmission interferences Potential health hazards Human interface with device
