Mobilize....Faster.Easier.Smarter. There are many reasons why FieldSmart is used by over 35,000 field and office workers at 30 major US utilities. A few key reasons are described below. Incremental Update Process Ease-of-Use Complete Suite of Products 17 Years Experience in the MOBILE Environment Interface Experience Powerful Compression Technology MapFrame’s compression algorithm converts your GIS, customer, and various other data sets into the FieldSmart format, increasing the speed at which you can navigate, search and route around your mapping data. In addition, it provides the ability to fit the entire service territory of facilities and related data on each mobile device, eliminating the dependency on network connectivity. MapFrame has the highest degree of compression capabilities in the industry today. More compression leads to faster screen refresh rates, greater field acceptance, less data to synchronize on a daily basis, and better performance from other applications on your mobile device. Incremental Update Process MapFrame’s server solution, called Field Flow Manager, handles the synchronization of data between the office and the field by powering an incremental update process that keeps data current. The synchronization process eases your data management on the back end since we eliminate the need to segment or take only small regions of back office data to the field. The incrementally updated files, called deltas, are typically small in size, making downloads simple and fast. Ease-of-Use One of the reasons we are on over 35,000 office and mobile devices is because our technology is created to be easy-to-use for anyone – even someone without computer experience. End-users quickly pick up our applications through a powerful interface that supports on-screen gesturing. This, combined with the speed of FieldSmart in any environment provides for great end-user acceptance. Complete Suite of Products – We Automate the Field! We have grown the FieldSmart product suite to provide the functionality to match the requirements for all field-based work processes, including viewing work orders plotted on the map, performing inspections, collecting data, routing and design work. 17 Years Experience in the MOBILE Environment The experience we have gained with our existing clients is unmatched, and will benefit any mobile mapping initiative. We have shown the ability to handle multiple utility implementations at one time, minimizing potential risk as we move forward. Interface Experience We have unparalleled, time tested Interface experience. Our neutral interface is capable of interfacing with any scheduling, dispatch and/or mobile work management application as well as other back office customer-built systems. The FieldSmart® Standard Interface (FSI) allows seamless interaction between MapFrame and mobile work management applications. |
