VermillionMVT: How businesses can benefit with PDA mobile job management

VermillionMVT, the Preston based fleet management business and a leading provider of application tracking software and flexible technology solutions for businesses and individuals, is eager to explain the broad range of benefits of PDA mobile job management to those businesses that may not be familiar with such technology that offers an immediate return on investment.

PDA job management is a web-based application which requires no investment in hardware and involves no complicated integration process. The job management software is easily integrated into existing hardware such as a PDA device, a Blackberry or a mobile phone meaning your mobile workforce is instantly equipped with a mobile device which connects them to you and your team in the office for real-time data transfer and communication.

The job management software receives and transmits job information in real-time, bringing total visibility of your workforce’s daily schedule and a more responsive service can be intelligently scheduled helping you plan the most effective rota based on your jobs and resources. Jobs are assigned to each engineer via a mobile phone or PDA device and accessed through the simple interface, with detailed information included with each job including driving time and estimated job time if you so desire. This means you can quickly and easily compare this information to the planned schedule and take necessary action to manage discrepancies, maintaining your service level targets and preventing financial penalties.

The interface of the job management device allows for easy two-way communication between the office and drivers and the solution can be designed to allow drivers to accept or reject jobs based on pre-defined reasons.

Intelligent Scheduling has a simple interface allowing two-way communications between drivers and their colleagues at base. The solution can be configured to allow drivers to accept or reject jobs based on pre-defined reasons such as insufficient parts. This real-time information allows the office to immediately reschedule and allocate the job to a different driver. Should the job schedule change, you can easily communicate the change to your staff. This means you can proactively keep your operation moving smoothly in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
