Higher Education and Institution Solutions

The educational institution, one of the largest universities in the United States, supports over 100,000 people on a daily basis. It was clear that their aging legacy system was becoming increasingly burdened trying to manage regular utility meter readings and inventory control. They needed a mobile data management solution that could pick up where the old system left off—and easily manage core tasks to increase overall efficiency campus-wide.

By implementing a batch solution to capture utility meter readings on a mobile unit for later download, they were able to monitor the condition of their equipment quickly and easily. Also implemented was a bar code solution to track inventory material issues to jobs and provide cycle counting receipts. This streamlined several steps in the inventory issue process, making the tracking and management of material costs more efficient. Important readings no longer sat in a pile unutilized. Plus, the excess paper trail was eliminated, along with transcription errors associated with a paper-based system.

Our user interface remains constant across many applications, making access to multiple databases and their information seamless to the end user.

Information displayed on the handheld can be easily customized to show the user the information they need, when they need it, in the order in which they need it.
