Press Release
InVision Software announces new software applications for enterprise mobility
Portfolio of "Pocket" applications targets mobile workforce
December 2, 2005
Nesconset, NY—Furthering the company's commitment to deliver end-user applications for enterprise mobility, InVision Software has launched a variety of new software applications that enable companies to empower their mobile workers while increasing productivity, reducing reliance on paper processes, and recognizing a significant Return On Investment (ROI). Branded "Pocket" products, these software applications are designed to operate on wireless mobile devices and take full advantage of Wi-Fi (802.11b/a/g) or wide-area networking (GPRS, iDEN, CDMA, EV-DO).
Where mobility is mission-critical
InVision Software's new products are designed to enable enterprise mobility in several markets that demand real-time remote access to business information systems—specifically targeting the Field Service, Field Sales, and Healthcare markets. "Our new software applications provide enterprise mobility solutions to markets where mobility is mission-critical," states Joseph Spiteri, President and CEO of InVision Software, Inc. "These applications will empower mobile workers to be more productive, and businesses will realize a significant ROI in a very short time as a result of this higher productivity, as well as the elimination of paper-based tasks and associated errors."
Software that enables enterprise mobility
Each of the new end-user software applications can be customized to meet the exact requirements of a specific customer. Each product is designed to connect to the customer's back-end, either directly or via an intermediate "Mobility Base Station™" provided by InVision Software as part of the solution. Below is a brief summary of each of the announced products:
- Pocket Field Technician™: Targets Field Service and offers the ability to manage dispatch of service calls, identify equipment at the site, update maintenance records, record course of action and parts used, and obtain signature and time-stamp from customers upon completion of service. Call results can be submitted back to the company wirelessly, through the application, to notify management to begin invoicing.
- Pocket Field Sales™: Designed for the route sales associate who can take orders on a mobile device, this product ensures up-to-date pricing and applies customer credits quickly, eliminating paperwork from each of these activities. Customer orders can be placed in real time, ensuring faster fulfillment.
- Pocket Home Care™: A tremendous benefit to home health agencies (HHAs), this product is designed to eliminate paper versions of patient evaluations and other forms when home care is part of the patient's prescription. Assessment forms are converted into electronic format, reside on the mobile device, and can be customized to meet agency documentation requirements (currently meets Federal OASIS guidelines).
Recognizing the ROI
Moving to an electronic workflow and eliminating paper forms generates a variety of customer benefits. For example, data transcription causes a significant percentage of documentation errors—some caused by typographical errors, others by poor handwriting, still others by submission of incomplete forms. InVision Software's mobile applications are designed to be workflow oriented, guiding mobile workers through their business process to assure that no data is omitted and no steps are skipped. Another major benefit is increased productivity. "Customers have recognized the ROI of electronic forms being part of their workflow," explains Spiteri. "Healthcare customers have stated that their nurses could spend up to 40% of each work week, two full working days, transcribing patient evaluation forms. That information can now be captured electronically at the point of care, giving back all that time for nurses to spend treating more patients."
