Insight Direct Unveils New Mobile Solution for Field Service Management | Boston, MA - November 18, 2009 - Insight Direct, the leading provider of software for companies that need a better way to manage service delivery, today announced ServiceCEO Mobile powered by Motivity - a new wireless solution that keeps your field workforce connected to the main office and helps you increase productivity, streamline processes, lower costs, and increase billable hours. Using ServiceCEO Mobile powered by Motivity, field workers can electronically send, receive and capture the information needed for job management and administration on any Windows Mobile device while on the customer site, whether they are within cell coverage or not. All updates are instantly synced with ServiceCEO so that back office teams can dispatch new jobs, track employee locations, create job sheets, process time cards, and verify job completion in real-time. This new level of connectivity minimizes expensive, time consuming paper-based processes such as map-book creation, schedule maintenance, and time-tracking, meaning field technicians and office personnel can focus more time on billable services, bidding new jobs, and processing payments. "We began using ServiceCEO from Insight Direct six years ago to integrate our dispatch program with back-office systems," said Kevin Ridge, owner of Ridge Electric, a commercial food service equipment service company in central California. "The efficiencies and cost savings from the original project were measurable, so we were eager to beta ServiceCEO Mobile as soon as possible. Many of our customers are in the restaurant business, so when something goes down, it often means they're losing money. With ServiceCEO Mobile we can re-route and dispatch jobs in real-time, eliminating a lot of overhead and administration, and giving our customers even better service." "Mobile workers are the lifeblood of a field service business. Maximizing mobile worker productivity means more revenue and profit for our customers," said Jim Triandiflou, President and Chief Executive Officer at Insight Direct. "With ServiceCEO Mobile, field technicians can reduce paper work, reduce travel time, streamline job management, and improve the customer experience. It's an investment that pays for itself in a matter of weeks." ServiceCEO Mobile can be used on a wide variety of Windows based Smart-phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to suit the needs of the mobile workforce.
