Managers are more and more convinced that software applications enhance the efficiency of their company processes. Software applications play an important part in workforce automation & reporting. It all comes down to setting up an efficient control of the company data and a smooth communication of these data throughout the different company sections, and also towards the "mobile" employees off course. We believe that Workforce Automation can mean more to your company automation than the standard ERP package, especially what your mobile employees is concerned.
Applications that contribute to extensive computerization :
- Electronic planning & dispatching
- Electronic task succession (workflow)
- Electronic control of all kinds of inventories
- Order processing
- Report systems with the aim of measuring efficiency, performance of your employees etc...
- Online tools for customers, suppliers, mobile employees
Example:
A building company has different construction sites and it is difficult to control the material inventory. Also a lot of material disappears because tracking them is very difficult. Solution: the goods to be lend, can be reserved by PDA and have to be checked in and out by PDA and/or barcode scanner. So tracking will be possible. In this way, the inventory can be held up to date.
Furthermore, the tasks to be done ( planning ) can be consulted from the site and their status can be adjusted; so the customer can follow the course of the work on his own web page via a protected user account. In that way, the mobile application becomes the cornerstone of your quality control.
Software
Next to the hardware ( PDA , industrial or not, laptop, desktop, server ) and communication ( GPRS -UMTS-WAN-VPN), such a project also needs software support. And this is where Studio Emma enters the picture again, because, next to the project management, we also build custom-made software, taking in account your company process. Studio Emma has a vast experience on the Linux platform as well as the Windows platform (.NET). In some cases it may be useful to combine these platforms.
We make recommendations towards the infrastructure to be used, put you in touch with our hardware and communication partners, build the necessary applications, take care of the integration with your existing software systems and see to the training of your employees. We continue supporting you, even after implementing. You are certainly in good hands with us. |
