Los Gatos, CA (June 29, 2012) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom mobile apps, announces that Xpera Group, a litigation support services company, has chosen  MobileFrame’s Configurable Mobile Application ^TM for their field inspection solution.

Xpera Group specializes in expert witness search and placement solutions for prominent law firms throughout the country. They inspect homes as they are being built to ensure that the homes don’t have construction defects. If a defect is discovered on site, Xpera needs to take photos and notify the construction foreman so they can correct the problem before the area is covered up. In order to do all of this in a timely and efficient manner, Xpera knew they needed an electronic, mobile solution to eliminate all of their paper based forms. This is where MobileFrame’s Platform came in.

With MobileFrame, Xpera is able to do both Quality Inspections and Site Inspections for the forensic work, take photos and field notes, and then import that data into their existing business systems.  Continue reading →

Los Gatos, CA (February 17, 2012) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to develop custom mobile apps, announces that Mapes and Sprowl Steel, a leading service center specializing in enameling steel for porcelain-coating applications and silicon steel for electrical applications, has chosen MobileFrame’s Inspection Application.

Mapes and Sprowl was interested in standardizing on a single mobile application platform that would allow them to easily configure and deploy any app for any department on any handheld computer.  Because they already had a custom coded inspection application in use, they knew the time and effort that custom coding requires. They not only wanted to upgrade their app, but they also wanted to automate many other processes across the company. Once they began their evaluation of the solutions in the marketplace, they quickly realized that MobileFrame’s Configurable Application^TM platform provided the flexibility they needed to easily deploy apps customized to their own requirements. Another key factor in their vendor selection was the fact that MobileFrame’s solution has all of the management features needed for a successful deployment already built in.   Continue reading →

Los Gatos, CA (December 22, 2011) – MobileFrame LLC Configurable Mobile Application^TM 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 Communication Infrastructure Corporation, a telecom surveying company, has selected MobileFrame’s software to create, dispatch and review electronic surveys.

Prior to implementing MobileFrame’s platform, Communication Infrastructure Corporation (CIC) was dispatching 55 engineers to customer locations to do cell tower site surveys where they would collect data such as line of site calculations, GPS coordinates, Visio drawings and photos. They saved all of this data in shared files instead of a central database, causing them to spend a lot of time trying to find the data as needed. They were also employing a staff of six quality control employees dedicated to reviewing the completed surveys, entering the data manually and creating reports for their customers. MobileFrame enables CIC to easily review historical data about each job site from a central database and eliminates the cumbersome manual data entry process. Continue reading →

HNTB has chosen MobileFrame to deploy their facilities airport inspection application. Previously, HNTB’s inspectors were entering data onto Excel spreadsheets while in the field, then later go back to the office and manually enter the same data into their Access database. This was obviously very time-consuming for the field workers and left a lot of room for human error. Allowing MobileFrame’s platform to automate this process has resulted in more efficient staff and has eliminated data entry errors. After seeing MobileFrame’s full-featured platform in action, HNTB was confident that it would meet their needs. With MobileFrame, HNTB will be able to utilize the latest mobility technologies to implement a full-featured mobile airport inspection application that easily integrates with their existing ACCESS backend system.

I had an awesome discussion today with a potential client that is interested in converting his current paper based inspection process into electronic format.   He was very enthusiastic about the prospect of getting rid of the mountain of paper in his office.  His enthusiasm got me thinking about not only the benefits of eliminating paper but ALSO the benefits of embedded business logic.   For example:  if an inspection failed he could require that his inspectors collect information about why it failed, capture  a picture of the damage or issue, maybe even record a voice note and associate it with the inspection.
