Along with the smartphone boom of the past decade we have also seen an exponential increase in the number of companies providing mobile applications.

This increase in the number of available software vendors has caused confusion in the marketplace when trying to determine what the main differences are between companies that provide simple mobile forms vs. mobile business applications.

When most companies are investigating solutions they are looking for ways to eliminate the manual process of collecting information on paper. By eliminating the collection of data on paper, the business will be able to save costs, and ultimately increase profits. As an example let us assume that you are currently looking for a mobile software vendor to help eliminate paper from your field operations. You have completed your preliminary research and think you have found 2 companies that could be a potential fit.

Contra Costa County, the ninth most populated county in the state of California, has chosen MobileFrame’s Configurable Mobile Application^TM Platform to automate California’s Paternity Declaration Application which collects the signatures of unwed parents at the time of a new born child’s birth. Prior to implementing MobileFrame, when a baby was born to an unwed mother, Contra Costa County had to have a form completed that listed both parents. The data on that form is completed by an estimated 2500 birthing clerks in over 700 birthing centers around California. Contra Costa County found this manual entry process to be timely and inefficient. In many cases, it would take the County months to get these completed forms back. MobileFrame’s 100% Code-Free Platform will implement these records into the County’s Vital Records (SQL) database.

EuroExpress has selected a version of MobileFrame’s proof of delivery application. EuroExpress, a Europian based organization of haulers and couriers, will be using MobileFrame’s home delivery application for truck pickup inventory from a warehouse, then delivery and assembly of the furniture at the customer’s location. Prior to adopting MobileFrame’s platform, EuroExpress’ system for collecting such data was proven costly and ineffective. This is expected to be the first phase of a large deployment that will be rolled out as new warehouse distribution centers are loaded. With MobileFrame, EuroExpress will be able to utilize the latest mobility technologies to implement full-featured mobile proof of delivery applications that closely integrates with their existing Knighted Home Delivery backend system, guaranteeing them a huge ROI.

National Archives (NARA) has selected MobileFrame’s asset tracking application to identify items and their location through barcode scanning. In addition to keeping the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, National Archives also hold in trust for the public the records of citizens including military records, immigration records and much more. Prior to implementing MobileFrame’s platform, National Archives was keeping track of approximately 30 million assets on paper, which would result in several issues, including problems locating those assets when needed, as well as the risk of possibly losing any of those records. National Archives found this process to be inefficient and extremely time consuming. MobileFrame’s 100% Code-Free Platform allows the implementation of these records into National Archives Oracle and Siebel backend systems.

I was chatting with one of our valued partners today, and we got into a very interesting discussion regarding the adoption of field based mobile computing. It appears as if we have both stumbled upon the same problem. The apparent disconnect between automating office based paper processes, and field based paper processes. This discussion really made me think.

“Why don’t businesses value mobile computing like they value office based computing?”

For years companies have been using computers in the office to aid in the functions necessary to run the daily operations of the business.

For Example:

• Bookkeeping / Accounting
• AR / AP
• Payroll
• E-mail
• Customer Activity Tracking
• Sales Performance Tracking
• Resource Scheduling
• Creating, assigning, and closing Work Orders
• Ordering Parts
• Updating Spreadsheets
• Etc.
