We use Microsoft Office
If you are currently working with paper and standard Microsoft products, then there are a number of ways that you can improve your business:
Start by Capturing Data Electronically
If your office operation is running smoothly with Microsoft products and you are simply experiencing problems getting information back to the office from site workers then the simplest option would be to look at capturing data on-site using a handheld computer / PDA. Instead of paper records, the workforce fill in electronic copies of the forms on PDAs and send them back wirelessly to your office which arrive as branded Adobe PDF documents. This in itself will:
- save you postage / fax / travel costs
- reduce lead time
- cut out illegible and missing paperwork
If you are using Microsoft Access, then we can even get it to send information directly to your field staff and automatically receive back in from them when they have finished their work.
Off-the-Shelf Management Systems
A cost effective solution is to look at moving up from the standard Microsoft office products to a ready made off the shelf software package that is equipped with a mobile solution. These systems not only help you better manage your office based operation but also allow you to send work to and from your workforce electronically with the mimimum of manual administration work.
We work with a number of business software providers across the UK who offer software packages to help a wide variety of industry sectors.
Their solutions range from general service management packages through to industry specific applications.
Opting for an ‘out of the box’ solution means that you can often be up and running in a very short space of time and at a cost effective price too. You can download a free trials to help you decide if the software is right for you.
