Mobile Workforce Solutions

 
With the increased functionality offered by smartphones and the improvements in mobile accessibility, mobile workers can now be more productive while in the field.
 
Until recently empowering a mobile workforce with custom software applications harnessing the advances in mobile technology has been the exclusive purview of big, large budget companies.
 
A NEW FUTURE
The MobiWork suite of products is a smartphone application that runs on the cloud and affords small medium enterprises (SME’s) the opportunity to arm their mobile workforce with a cost effective, technologically advanced application that will improve their productivity, information exchange capability and customer satisfaction.
 
THE SOLUTION
The MobiWork solution is a product of the Florida, USA based company, MobiWork LLC and is offered in South Africa by Ascendance (Pty) Ltd, a Pretoria based IT company. Ascendance is a progressive IT company specialising in affordable Cloud Business Solutions that serve the SME market. Their services range from Cloud Infrastructure such as Cloud Backup, Cloud Servers, Cloud Mail and archiving solutions to Cloud Software including MobiWork and MemberZone/ChamberMaster for managing associations and Chambers of Commerce.

The basic functionality available from the standard MobiWork MWS (Mobile Workforce Solution) application includes real-time tracking, inventory management, invoicing, barcode scanning and ‘points of interest’. A custom-built system offering similar functionality can be expected to cost anything upward of R3-million.

 
Yet another MobiWork’s solution is their MobiWork SmartTrack product, offering improved real-time tracking and time reporting functionality aimed at courier and logistics businesses. MobiWork SmartTrack is ideally suited to business looking to gain visibility of their mobile workers or fleet of vehicles.
 
GETTING STARTED
 
A major benefit of the MobiWork’s solution is that, unless you view the acquisition of a smartphone with data capability as a challenge, there are no barriers to entry. There is no need for dedicated servers or any system infrastructure, no large software applications are installed and a month-to-month user license agreement means users are not tied in to multi-year fixed agreements.

Ascendance has appointed several resellers for MobiWork in South Africa of which Caracal Software Solutions, who specialises in the implementation of the MobiWork system into franchised businesses, is the largest.
 
The benefits of empowering a mobile workforce with mobile technology
  • Reduced travel cost through GPS route navigation and route planning capabilities;
  • More productive time usage as real time reports, checklists and the like which can be compiled while at the client or in the field;
  • Improved communication (both internal and with customers) as all the parties involved are kept abreast of the status of work orders through SMS, e-mails and system generated communications;
  • Sales order automation;
  • Improved compliance management though online reporting; and
  • Most importantly for managers, the speed at which exception reports are generated.
