Phoenix Recycling Shreds the Competition with MobileFrame

Los Gatos, CA (February 12, 2013) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom mobile apps, announces that Phoenix Recycling  Inc. has chosen MobileFrame to automate their field service applications.

Based in Canada, Phoenix Recycling specializes in document destruction, records storage, and commercial and industrial recycling. Their customers include over 1400 businesses and they are a four time winner of the Consumers’ Choice Award for business excellence in paper shredding from 2007-2010.

Prior to implementing the MobileFrame solution, their drivers were collecting data about their assigned pickups on paper. This resulted in roughly 6,000 paper forms a month landing on the desks of the office staff and that data had to then be manually entered into their CRM system. Management knew that automating this process would eliminate excessive labor costs, give them real-time insight into field activities and make their staff more efficient all at the same time.  Freeing up the staff’s time meant they could work on more strategic projects for the company.

It was important for Phoenix Recycling to find a solution that was intuitive and easy to use so they could manage the applications on their own. They wanted to be able to write and deploy the apps themselves, without being forced to pay the vendor every time they wanted a new app. And, over time the apps will need to change as business processes evolve, so Phoenix Recycling wanted to be able to make the changes quickly and redeploy them to the field. With MobileFrame Phoenix Recycling can write as many apps as needed to automate each and every department, make changes to currently deployed apps, remotely manage their devices and deploy the right data to the right person.

Phoenix Recycling plans to use the software for many applications in addition to the pickup information app, such as daily truck inspections and a field sales app. Since there is no limit to the number of apps they can deploy, future mobile apps may include accident reports, inventory receiving, time cards, expense tracking, etc.

Automating these daily activities will provide enormous productivity gains for the company. And, the best news of all is that these apps require no coding, so writing the apps and deploying them to the field can be done in the time it takes to eat lunch. The system allows the customer to write the app once and deploy it to any device, including Android, Apple, BlackBerry, and Windows devices.

“MobileFrame’s field service mobile applications has provided Phoenix Recycling with everything they need to eliminate data entry, improve staff efficiency and provide better customer service. Management can now review field data in real-time, giving them the ability to make intelligent decisions that boost performance and customer satisfaction”.
