Mobile Field Inventory Management In Real Time
Field service technicians use mobile devices (smartphones or tablets running iOS or Android) and a mobile application to track
field service inventory, equipment and tools anywhere.
Give your mobile workforce tools to be efficient and productive. Mobile devices (smartphones) are easy to carry around, and allow
field employees to record and access
inventory and parts information fast without being distructed from their main job.
Using a smartphone and QR code / barcode scanning, field service technicians can easily track materials, parts, tools and equipment in the field and warehouse.
No matter how many field locations you have and how many employees in your organization are handling assets and inventory,
all equipment, parts and materials deliveries and usage can be easily recorded in real time, as they happen.
Therefore, you always have accurate inventory counts, equipment and tools locations and transactions records.
Record any additional information: job number, project, client, notes, etc. using mobile forms. You define
what data should be collected in the field - and these data will be recorded in the mobile forms and will be available to you via reports.
All materials, parts and equipment updates are submitted to a centralized cloud location in real time, so everyone has an access to the up to the
minute information.
Field Inventory Software With Real Time Mobile Equipment Tracking
Tools and equipment are valueable assets - make sure you always know where they are and how they are used.
QR Inventory software helps you create an accountability system for the tools and equipment that you use for the field service jobs.
You will always know where the
equipment is, what work order it is used for, who checked out the tool or equipment,
and keep tabs on the tools which were not returned on time.
Using a smartphone and a mobile application field service technicians can check tools in and out of the warehouse,
track equipment location and usage by scanning a QR code label.
They can record any additional information: work order number, expected return date, asset conditions upon return, and take pictures for the visual documentation.
You define what data should be collected via the web dashboard, and field employees or warehouse
managers will fill out this information on the smartphones.
Fast Field Inventory And Assets Processing With The NFC Or BLE Beacon Tags
Use NFC or BLE beacon tags for the fast processing of the high volume field assets and inventory transactions. Unlike
QR code or barcode tags, NFC tags do not require focusing of the smartphone camera and can be scanned fast, just by touching each asset or
inventory item
with a smartphone. No direct line of sight is required - an NFC tag can be inside an asset or inventory casing or packaging.
BLE tags
further automate field inventory and assets management. With the BLE beacon tags no scanning of the
individual inventory items or assets is required. An employee just click a button in the mobile application to add
all assets and inventory to the transaction, and immediately submit data to the back-end field inventory software.
