Immediate and accurate information has become essential to today’s “road warrior.”

Laptops have gotten faster, lighter and more powerful.  But the real star of today’s mobile worker is the widespread use of smartphones and iPads.  Last year, shipments of smartphones outnumbered shipments of PCs.   These mobile devices have become the tools of the new mobile workforce.

Today’s organizations run fairly lean.  Mobile solutions are used by CEOs and management to “keep in touch” no matter where they are.  Web based dashboards are available on smartphones or iPads in real-time to highlight any anomalies that may need immediate management attention.

Sales people want access to customer histories, inventory levels, pricing and promotions wherever they may be.  Traditionally a salesperson pulled out a laptop to record notes and send emails, but now with smart devices there is no more waiting.  Productivity and customer service improve.  Additionally, using an iPad as a presentation device has become a new trend.  A Salesperson can show a product, a blueprint or schematic, or even configure a custom product right in front of a prospect.

Field service personal are dispatched from place to place all day long.  Mobile devices can be used to dispatch and monitor, improve customer service by ordering any necessary parts , and improve cash flow by invoicing and taking payment right at the customer location.

Delivery or logistics personal can use mobile devices for delivery receipts, to take off-the-truck orders, and to dispatch for pickups.

Project or job based companies often have remote workers that need to enter expenses and time against one or more projects.  The sooner that this is done the faster milestones are hit, the faster invoices go out, and the faster expenses are paid. Smart mobile devices can improve efficiencies in all these tasks
