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.

This paper-based process was inefficient and prone to human error. The company was using many different paper forms to collect different types of information about their assets. 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.

Forbes Energy Services Drills into the Competition with MobileFrame’s Work Order App

Los Gatos, CA (December 7, 2011) – MobileFrame LLC., the leading provider of Configurable Mobile Applications™ enterprise software, announces that Forbes Energy Services, an independent oilfield services contractor, has chosen the MobileFrame Platform to replace their previous backend system to automate their work orders. Forbes Energy is an independent oilfield services contractor that provides a broad range of drilling and production related services to oil and natural gas companies.

Forbes Energy began evaluating mobile solutions because their 1,000 technicians were collecting all work order data on handwritten, paper forms. This resulted in 5,000 pieces of paper per day being turned into the office. This in turn required 20 to 30 clerks to manually enter the data into their business systems, resulting in a two week invoicing delay.   Forbes Energy Services needed to find a solution to help organize and ease the distribution and completion of their work orders, and found that MobileFrame’s 100% Code-Free Platform was a perfect fit to benefitting technicians as well as dispatchers. With MobileFrame’s Work Order Application, Forbes Energy will save time and money by automating and eliminating paper-based processes, resulting in a huge ROI. Continue reading

Edlund Company Opens the Lid on Inventory Tracking with MobileFrame

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. These cycle counts were very time consuming and burned a lot of unnecessary labor hours. 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

Wheat Growers Sprouts More Business with MobileFrame’s Sales Order Entry App

South Dakota Wheat Growers, an innovative grain and agronomy cooperative with many active members throughout the James River Valley in eastern North and South Dakota, has selected MobileFrame’s enterprise mobility software to increase efficiencies and productivity across the company. Wheat Growers was looking for a way to streamline the process that their agronomists, or sales people, used for their sales order entry process. The agronomists were collecting the data on paper then manually entering that data in their backend business systems. Eliminating the manual data entry task alone allows the sales team to spend more time selling and less time doing clerical work.

Making the sales team more efficient is only the first step in improving efficiencies across the entire company. They have big plans for their mobile app deployments, including:

  • Inventory Receiving
  • Picking Sales Orders in the warehouse
  • Packing the orders into shipping cartons
  • Inventory Cycle Counts

Sturgeon Services International is Pumping Out Work Orders with MobileFrame

Sturgeon Services International (SSI), formerly known as Sturgeon & Sons, has purchased MobileFrame’s work order automation with asset tracking application. SSI is an oil field services company in California, and was looking to automate their work order and asset tracking processes. Prior to implementing MobileFrame’s platform, Sturgeon Services International was completing their work orders in individual Excel spreadsheets per job. The tech would then email the completed spreadsheet to the office. SSI employs 10 clerks who are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the data for payroll and billing purposes. The same clerks had to then manually enter all of that data into Microsoft Dynamics and other backend office systems.  SSI found this process to be very time consuming, costly and prone to human error. With MobileFrame’s solution, not only do those clerks get to avoid all that manual data entry, but the company no longer needs to hire new IT staff to develop and manage applications. During the evaluation phase the SSI team particularly liked the simplicity of integrating our system with their back office systems. Continue reading

Contra Costa County has chosen MobileFrame’s Paternity Declaration Application

Contra Costa County, the ninth most populated county in the state of California, has chosen MobileFrame’s Configurable Mobile ApplicationTM 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.
