Novate: Mobile Data Solutions

Mobile data solutions are really becoming cost effective. The terminals, the GPRS mobile data comms and Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools are making it possible to develop applications really quickly and cost-effectively.

Solutions for:

goods in / out, stores and picking
field sales force automation
electronic worksheets and forms
market research
deliveries and collections

Anywhere that paper based forms are used and someone then has the task of transcribing these into back-office systems.

Mobile applications bring speed and accuracy. Eliminating processes reduces the risk of human error, electronic forms enforce workflow so that vital pieces of information are not missed at the point of data collection, and data automatically input into systems at the point of collection means no more chasing around for missing paperwork.

Batch based systems have been around for a long time, but recent developments with mobile phones and GPRS data services (so called 2.5G) permits data to be sent as it is collected, for just a few pounds per device per month.

The use of rapid application development tools means that we can develop solutions cheaply so that customers needing a small number of terminals can still benefit.
