Close, but no cigar. The right out-of-the-box solution is called DigSee SURE!
The DigSee SURE out-of-the-box solution offers you tools for enhanced improvement of your management and accounting and supports your seamless and easy shift to a new development stage — it gives a truly mobile solution to your workers.
You may start with a small step forward: install the office version of DigSee SURE, and for minimal costs you will get an opportunity to create forms in the shortest terms and to set rules for filling them in. Even at the first stage, due to fast input of error-free questionnaires, you will enjoy a cost reduction and obtain a reliable accounting database without any significant investment in such automation. This achievement may encourage you to make the next step forward: with reasonable effort you extend the power of the DigSee SURE solution to your workers in the field equipped with Palm handhelds.
Your workers will get an opportunity to fill in and send order forms for the required raw materials and equipment, as well as task orders, directly from their workplaces
Now you would not suffer anymore from interruptions in the engineering process schedule related to information gaps or unprocessed data. Your workers will always be able to fill in the required form in a few minutes — an order for raw materials or equipment, a task order or a report on the operation performed — and in a few seconds this information will reach the central office. Small Palm organisers can be equipped with wireless network capacities (e.g., based on the 802.11b technology) and operate all over the industrial site.
Dramatic reduction of expenses on quality control and production control with simultaneous enhancement of decision-making processes
Quality control or production control procedures usually involve filling in some paper forms. Then specially assigned staff enter and process the data obtained from these forms. Alternatively, DigSee SURE will furnish you with a powerful tool that allows you to enter accounting or control forms in real time during your technological process! Using a compact and handy Palm handheld, you enter data straight into the computer in an easy-to-use form.
No more distortions, no need to organise special workplaces for data input; plus, at any time you can transfer the stored data to the central computer, where they are ready for processing.
Data entry in difficult conditions and/or a mobile environment
Some production conditions may be very uncomfortable for filling in paper forms. And if you are on the move, paper forms are out of the question. However, such possibilities are rendered by DigSee SURE — a pocket-sized Palm solution which is always at your fingertips.
Service quality improvement due to multipurpose Palm applications
As soon as you acquire the Palm SURE solution for mobile input of questionnaires and forms, you can enjoy the full range of Palm organising capacities: scheduler, alarm clock, calculator, electronic notepad, e-mail and a lot of other handy built-in solutions.
Means of regional expansion
Palm SURE, due to its mobile capabilities, offers you a cost-effective possibility to expand the territory covered by your field staff. Moreover, field representatives would no longer need to visit the central office in order to deliver their work results — these are transferred remotely and become accessible to the central management in a few seconds.
If your company has numerous subdivisions, DigSee SURE is easily adaptable to any particular business structure
Due to the subsystems of import/export of templates and questionnaire arrays, it is possible to organise distributed input of questionnaires and forms in remote departments using standalone desktops and notebooks with no network capabilities. The data can then be exchanged by transferring files on floppy disks, CDs, by e-mail, etc.
The above combination of functions provides you with an opportunity for effective management of your field staff
An authorised manager decides which questionnaire should be transferred into the handheld of which particular mobile representative. Moreover, questionnaires received from different representatives can be stored in different arrays of questionnaires; this gives you a possibility to evaluate the survey quality and the scope of work of each particular representative separately.
Moreover, why not prepare your internal reports as forms and have your field staff enter their daily reports in such a form? In this case, you will have effective monitoring of the daily activities, whereabouts, results and expenses of your field staff!
