Repairs and Maintenance - Mobile Working and Remote Data Capture

Businesses today are often more disparate than ever before. Remote and mobile employees are often unable to access data on an organisation’s business systems or interact in ‘real time’ with colleagues. Such inefficient and ineffective working practices can lead to low productivity.

Mobile working and remote data capture enables organisations to gain added value through optimal utilisation of their employee’s time while working remotely. Using handheld devices specifically programmed for the job, mobile solutions provides tangible improvements in business and personal productivity, as well as speed, accuracy and consistency of data.

U.E. can be deployed on a wide variety of handheld devices from PDAs to ‘ruggedised’ mobile devices. Mobile solutions are user-configurable and the collected data feeds seamlessly into databases and data analysis software. Transferring data to and from the office previously presented a logistical problem where a regular return to base was not always possible.  Not any more. Now, using various methods of modern transmission like GSM and GPRS data can be transferred from wherever an operative is and in real time. U.E. provides a real time solution, that is always on and secure. Mobile devices can now have integrated or add-on accessories including high resolution digital cameras, integral bar code scanners and portable printers. Permanent installation using dedicated vehicle interface cradles for both phone and handheld devices are also available with U.E.

Personal Productivity: Hand held devices need not be solely dedicated to U.E. A hand held device can be a true mobile office with convenient and secured applications for business and project management – sending and receiving emails, online access, checking contacts, calendar and tasks, writing memos, documents and spreadsheets.  All of these applications can be synchronized with a PC back in the office if need be ensuring the most up-to-date information on each device.
