MyMobileWorkers has released the latest version of
its award-winning workforce management app available on all Android devices.
The update comes after the company announced it has signed up its latest
Android customer, DSL, for its team of 22 field engineers to use the app on their
phones to record job details.
The
pay-as-you-go app, the first of its kind in the UK, lets field workers capture
information in real time on site, via Android, Windows Mobile or rugged
devices.
It works by
enabling field workers to feed job information via the app into a back office
system, allowing staff to monitor their progress and allocate jobs.
Founder of
MyMobileWorkers, Graham Whistance, said: “We have
an active product development programme for the app, which is particularly
important in the constantly evolving world of mobile.
“DSL liked
the flexibility of MyMobileWorkers and the fact it’s available as pay per job,
avoiding costly and lengthy contracts. Like all of our customers, we have worked
closely with DSL to gain valuable access to their experiences with the app so
they can influence and benefit from the direction it is moving in.”
Ian McGregor,
contracts director from DSL which is based in Kent, said: “What impressed us
about this new technology is that our workers already have Android phones so we
didn’t have to buy expensive new equipment.
“Apps have
become increasingly popular for business use to increase efficiency and save
money and I think they are the way of the future. This latest version of the
MyMobileWorkers app offers the exact features we were looking for, something
that previously, only companies larger than ourselves could afford.”
Some of the new features include:
· Full calendar
view for managers to see workers schedules and book jobs accordingly
· Email job
details to customer via PDF
· Ability to
edit or delete a job before it is sent to the phone and rebook a job when it is
completed or failed.
· Improved
vehicle check process- a list of safety checks for the worker to sign off to
make sure the vehicle
is road worthy
Customers will be upgraded to MyMobileWorkers Version 5 at
no extra charge and a full list of additional features can be found on the
MyMobileWorkers website.
Version 5.2
is already scheduled for release next month and will include a customer
registration option to enable user’s customers to log-in to create and view jobs
and a Resource Planner View.
The
MyMobileWorkers app has enabled a number of companies, including a food waste
recycling company and a building maintenance company, to save thousands of
pounds and benefit environmentally as field workers have been able to scrap
paperwork and log jobs from their phones.
