Field Service
Active
Studio has been used to develop a Field Service Application. When
engineers visit a site they had to record everything they did with pen
and paper.
The
Field Service solution has reduced the amount of
paperwork involved in carrying out each task, now the data is
captured using an electronic hand held terminal. The system has
been designed to support GPRS therefore as soon as a visit has been
completed, the data can be sent straight back to head office at the
touch of a button. Using GRPS information can be sent
back to the engineers, for example if a service visit to an additional
customer is required that had not be scheduled into the days job list
the information can be sent direct to the engineer without the need for
a phone call or return visit to base. |

Retail Mobile
JML are a national
retail company who have their own shopping channels on TV and
franchises
across the UK. Their sales teams now use an elctronic mobile
system
developed by TWS that allows personnel to visit stores across the
country and monitor the operation of the video displays and
merchandising. The system also caters for stock replenishment.
This
activity was formally carried out using pen and paper and was faxed or
posted back to head office. As a consequence of this the store
visits
took much longer than necesary and head office had very little
knowledge of stock movements, what information they had was out
of date,
therefore they were loosing thousands of pounds every year in lost
production by the sales teams and more expensivley in lost goods.
Now
all information is collected electronically, all the goods are
accounted for. The sales team are carrying out visits in a more timely
manner allowing more visits to be done per day.
All of the
collected information is sent back to head office electronically of an
evening which in turn can be viewed by any PC (with the
correct
permissions), with internet access, giving admin and the team leaders
full visibility.

Security Suite
TWS
have developed a Security Suite of products, these include a Gate House
System, a Car Parking System and a Security Patrol System.
Gate
House has been designed for use by Gate House staff. Currently
most companies expecting visitors at their gate house have a printed
list sent to the gate house staff, and when the visitor arrives the
gate house staff look up the contact details of the indivdual being
visited on a printed list. TWS's Gate House System saves time,
money and paper, by utilising new technology you can now have an
electronic system to do all of the work for you. A simple
database is created which includes the names and internal contact
details of all staff. A simple program is running on a PDA or
hand held terminal with the expected visitors and who they are
visiting.
Vechicle inspection is designed for the checking of vehicles into and
out of secure locations, with the ability to record vehicle information.
The
car park solution is for use in delayed time car parks and for Pay and
Display type car parks. The system is able to issue parking
tickets
for parking offences, and all data is backed up to a central point
allowing the admin team to keep up to date.
The
Security Patrol
system is used by security guards whilst carrying out routine patrols.
The system records the movement of the guards and allows the guards to
record details of any incidents that may occur. The data is all
backed up to a central point allowing the admin team full visibility.
