FORCE<br />

<strong>2016</strong><br />

“<br />

In just the first few weeks, Mobile WorkForce has helped to prove when and where the driver dropped off<br />

equipment and saved time back at the office because drivers don’t need to call in before heading to the<br />

next delivery. Our customers are certainly impressed at how technologically savvy we are. We enjoy being<br />

on the cutting edge!<br />

Coming This Fall:<br />

Our newest Mobile WorkForce update,<br />

to be released this <strong>fall</strong>, is bringing a<br />

variety of new features and a whole<br />

new look and feel to enhance usability<br />

across multiple devices.<br />

Mobile WorkForce, available for Rental<br />

Expert and Rental Elite users, is a webbased<br />

application that can be utilized<br />

with any Internet-enabled mobile<br />

device, tablet, or laptop. Taking full<br />

advantage of the touchscreen user<br />

interface of mobile devices, this app<br />

reduces time-consuming steps down<br />

to a few simple clicks. This app allows<br />

the mobile worker to eliminate the<br />

paper equation by performing tasks onsite<br />

without having to be granted full<br />

access to the company server.<br />

Many rental employees’ job functions<br />

are performed away from the counter<br />

terminal, yet still generate data that<br />

must be entered into your system,<br />

such as signatures, date/time stamps,<br />

location addresses, inventory counts,<br />

and much more. The module capitalizes<br />

on workers’ mobility by obtaining this<br />

data remotely and automatically syncing<br />

it securely to your Point-of-Rental server.<br />

Service personnel in the field can access<br />

the service contract from the job site and<br />

scan the barcode on the unit to mark the<br />

service completed. The task is reflected<br />

in real-time to the contract on your Point<br />

of Rental server, automatically noting<br />

the latitude-longitude location, as well as<br />

the date/time stamp. Similarly, a driver<br />

delivering a high-reach lift to a job site<br />

can open the contract on location, take<br />

photos of the item, mark it as delivered,<br />

and have the customer sign for it right<br />

on the device. The photos are saved as a<br />

contract attachment and can be viewed/<br />

printed/faxed from the server.<br />

The newest updates include result<br />

filters on search, displayed inventory<br />

availability, dispatcher’s routes,<br />

international date formats, partial search<br />

capabilities, “Loading” and “Transport”<br />

options to provide depth to the contract<br />

fulfillment process and many others!<br />
