A Wireless World in Facilities Restoration
TaskCaddy in a Wireless World of Facilities Restoration
Scenario…
Your service demand has increased after the recent fires. Now a large multi-national hotel resort chain requires you to demonstrate your Restoration and Damage clean-up on-site task capabilities and reporting systems.
Constraint
You’ve also had high turnover at the management level in this business unit.
What to do?
Among the many choices you have are: (1) pull one of your best people off of an existing project and send him as a subject matter expert, (2) spend unplanned days and hours to mock up a demonstration system for the one hour presentation, (3) walk away from the deal.
Another Solution?
Utilize TaskCaddy, the Project Management and Mobile Deployment System where all common tasks are defined once in your data base. Actuated job standards are computed and placed in the database at the task level.
All daily work activities are planned and task based. And you have real-time visibility over the feedback your management team is receiving from the field. Not filtered by local management, not copied and massaged by intermediaries, but taken directly from that last-mile of activity, as it is entered into the PDA.
