Valley Regional Fire Authority

Los Gatos, CA (November 11, 2013) – MobileFrame LLC, the industry leading cross platform mobile application development platform, announces that Valley Regional Fire Authority has standardized on MobileFrame’s Configurable Mobile Application™ platform to assist with Inventory & Asset Tracking.

Headquartered in Auburn, Washington, Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) offers fire protection and suppression, emergency medical aid, hazardous materials response and a number of other services to 80,000 citizens in a 37 square mile area covering Algona, Auburn, and Pacific Washington. VFRA chose MobileFrame software so that field workers could view inventory, update inventory status and track assets electronically.They had previously been collecting data on paper and manually entering the information into Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains). MobileFrame has automated the data collection process and eliminated manual data entry by integrating directly to Microsoft Dynamics GP.  Now the field staff can view information that they need to do their jobs in real-time and the management team has instant access to the latest inventory levels and asset locations.  Automating their manual processes has streamlined the staff and has resulted in a significant return on investment.

“We love to see organizations leverage the MobileFrame platform to extend the capabilities of their ERP solutions out into the field. Our software has made their field force and the office staff much more efficient and is saving countless labor hours of administrative work. And, with our code free platform VRFA can deploy an unlimited number of applications for any department.”

Corpac Steel Tracks their Inventory with MobileFrame

Los Gatos, CA (September 25, 2012) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom enterprise mobile apps, announces that Corpac Steel has selected their Inventory Tracking Application.

Corpac is a global supplier and trader of pipe and steel products and services, specializing in line pipe, standard pipe, OCTG, Conduit and structural products. They receive pipe from their fabricators and need to know what pipe was received and the associated information about that pipe. Prior to implementing MobileFrame, Corpac was collecting this inventory data with pen and paper. Corpac Steel knew that keeping track of assets and inventory is necessary to ensure timely maintenance and proper supply, but tracking so many varied assets and items on paper presented a lot of challenges. With a paper-based system, the data error rate is high due to the amount of data collected on a variety of paper forms. They found this process to be time consuming and inefficient, and knew it was time for a change. Continue reading

Terumo Medical Reinvents their Inventory Counts with MobileFrame’s Consignment Tracking Solution

Los Gatos, CA (March 8, 2012) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom enterprise mobile apps, announces that Terumo Medical Corporation has chosen MobileFrame’s consignment inventory  tracking applications. Terumo Medical is a sister company to MicroVention, a rapidly growing medical device company that is pioneering the development of catheter-based technologies for the endovascular treatment of peripheral and cerebral vascular diseases.

Like MicroVention, Terumo Medical employs sales reps who are responsible for conducting inventory counts at various hospitals where their products are used. These reps need to reconcile the amount of physical inventory at the site with the records in their JD Edwards backend system. Prior to implementing MobileFrame, the sales reps recorded these inventory counts on paper forms then had to reconcile the figures against the actual inventory by reviewing the reports generated. Terumo Medical’s office staff then manually entered this data into their business systems, which resulted in human error and excessive costs spent on labor hours. Continue reading

Great Western Steel Hauls Heavy Loads with MobileFrame

Los Gatos, CA (January 31, 2012) – MobileFrame, LLC Configurable Mobile ApplicationTM Enterprise Software Solutions, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom mobile apps, announces that Great Western Steel, an international steel salvage and recycling company, has chosen MobileFrame software to allow workers to track the amount of steel loaded onto each truck electronically instead of on pen and paper.

Prior to MobileFrame, Great Western Steel was using clipboard and paper to record their inventory, scrap metal amounts and which truck was hauling which load.

With MobileFrame’s single solution, all paper is eliminated and data is collected electronically. Once the data is collected it is stored in a central database, which allows management to have instant access to the data and make real-time decisions on how to run the company. Assets are then better managed and employees are much more productive. Continue reading

Los Gatos, CA (August 15, 2011) – MobileFrame LLC Configurable Mobile ApplicationTM Enterprise Software Solutions, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom mobile apps, announces that Edlund Company, the recognized leader in the manufacture of commercial can openers and can opening systems, has selected MobileFrame to automate their inventory tracking data collection.

Edlund Company is responsible for developing and manufacturing innovative, operator-oriented stainless steel equipment for harsh food service environments. To keep track of all of the equipment and parts used, Edlund conducts a two-day physical inventory cycle count at the end of each fiscal year.

In fact, the process required up to five employees who spent the bulk of two full days keypunching and reconciling the data. This left a lot of room for human error, which Edlund has been constantly battling for over 10 years. Continue reading

Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory Creams the Competition with MobileFrame’s Product Inspection App

Warnambool Cheese and Butter Factory (WCB), producers of high-quality dairy products for over 120 years, selected MobileFrame’s Configurable Mobile Application Solution to eliminate all paper based processes across the company.  WCB is one of the oldest dairy processors in Australia today and is a major producer of high quality dairy commodities such as cheese, milk powders, whey protein, butter and cream, for both domestic and export markets.

Prior to purchasing the MobileFrame solution, their staff was using clipboard and paper forms to do quality control inspections on both the production floor and in the warehouse. After the data was collected, the completed forms were turned over to administrative staff to manually enter the data into their business system. This manual system was extremely labor intensive, error-prone and inefficient, so they were looking for an easy to use, intuitive software solution to solve these problems.  WCB quickly realized that MobileFrame’s platform can be used to deploy any app with any requirement across any department. Their apps can be tailored to their business and integrated to their JD Edwards backend system. Some of the benefits of MobileFrame’s solution include:

  • Increase efficiencies by eliminating error-prone manual data-entry tasks
  • Increasing efficiency of product inspection operations
  • Ability to write their own apps without writing  a single line of code Continue reading
