Aeromark: Aeromark's Optimatics And Workflow Dynmx Solution Help
Lantec Streamline Business Processes And Improve Competitive Advantage
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:30072008
BEDFORD -- Aeromark, the innovative mobile technology company, today
announced that Lantec, an IT solutions and logistics provider, is
rolling out Aeromark's integrated OptimaticsTM and the recently
launched Workflow DynMXTM solution to its 175 field engineers.
Aeromark's complete mobile workforce solution will enable Lantec to
replace its paper based business systems and enhance the visibility of
its mobile workforce. This will enable improvements in operational
processes to be made to meet the increasing demands of Lantec's
existing and potential customers.
"Over the last eight months we have undertaken a strategic change of
our operations protocol which has led to a huge drive to modernise and
streamline our business processes," said Tony Barr, IT Director at
Lantec. "For example, we wanted to improve the visibility of our
mobile workforce as we previously relied on mobile phone calls to
communicate with our engineers. There was also a requirement to
improve our scheduling system by replacing our manual process with a
mobile solution and increase our stock accuracy with a scanning
solution that provides near real-time updates to the central system."
Following an extensive review of solutions in the mobile worker space
Lantec chose Aeromark. "Other companies could provide only part of the
solution we wanted. But once we had seen how Aeromark's innovative
Optimatics technology offered a complete mobile workforce solution
which integrates vehicle tracking, job scheduling and despatch,
combined with the ease and speed at which we could design, create and
deploy mobile PDA workflow applications using Workflow DynMX, the
decision was automatic," explained Barr. Crucially, all the data
gathered by Optimatics and Workflow DynMX can be analysed and then
easily viewed via the Optimatics Smartdash graphical user interface
reporting tool. This intelligent data will allow Lantec to have a
complete picture of planned activity versus actual events that occur in
the field enabling it to understand exactly how it can improve
operational efficiency.
"Additionally, our decision to roll out the Aeromark technology was
based on the considerable ROI it will deliver. Workflow DynMX enables
the creation of our bespoke PDA workflows without the need for bespoke
software development and so we have been able to deploy our mobile PDA
applications very quickly resulting in significant cost reductions when
compared with competitive solutions. Aeromark's Optimatics provides us
with the next level of telematics technology, enabling us to monitor
our service levels more effectively. Optimatics will also deliver ROI
by not only allowing us to understand where cost savings can be made,
but through the retention of our existing clients and generation of new
business opportunities," added Barr.
Smartdash enables Lantec to access real time information such as what
time an engineer left home for his first job, what time he arrived, how
long he stayed and what action he took. Importantly, Smartdash also
allows Lantec to monitor how much fuel is consumed by each of its
vehicles and the resulting CO2 emitted.
As part of the Lantec complete mobile workforce solution, Aeromark is
running its Optimatics and Workflow DynMX solution on Opticon PDAs.
"The integrated barcode scanning capability of the Opticon device has
enabled us to replace our manual stock inventory process with a mobile
solution that has helped to improve the accuracy levels of our stock
management," concluded Barr.
