PDA/Handheld Integration

CSG is improving the mobile computing industry through innovation and foresight.  We are currently capable of assisting our customers in their efforts to both manage the costs of their facilities and fleet operations and achieve fully integrated mobile computing and back-office information systems through the use of next generation wireless applications and network configurations, along with business process improvement and software development consulting services.

Companies that have deployed mobile field service solutions have realized, on average, 27% improvement in worker productivity, 19% increase in customer satisfaction/retention, 17% increase in overall profitability, and 13% increase in service revenues. Automating and tightly integrating a field-based workforce into an organization’s IT infrastructure is no longer a luxury limited to early adopters.  Today’s economy and competitive pressures have forced enterprises to look for ways to extract new levels of productivity out of every part of their workforce with some of the biggest gains realized by automating field-based roles. 

New handheld devices and better methods of connectivity have begun to level the playing field and allow enterprises of any size to attempt large scale deployments of field services, route management and field sales projects.  These mobile initiatives were once only available as proprietary solutions costing millions and engineered by only the largest enterprises.  Today similar solutions can be deployed for a fraction of the cost but the impact of selecting the wrong solutions is still contributing to 70-80% of the failure rate of mobile deployments.CSG can show your organization how to evaluate, select and successfully deploy an automated, intelligent, dynamic scheduling solution that leverages the latest technologies to:

CSG, Inc. will employ our vast experience, technical expertise, technical partnerships, and industry best practices to identify how wireless technology will affect the asset management professional and how they manage the workplace now and in the next five to ten years and consider for areas including audio, video, email, internet for data in the areas of construction, design and furnishings.   CSG has the proven capability to not only develop and implement wireless solutions in the asset management sector, but to also research and pursue proven technologies that succeed in providing the industry with the business solutions to create a more productive and cost-efficient infrastructure.

 

Digital Pens

One of the most recognizable methods for data collection is the use of pen and paper.  With Collaborative Systems Group's mobile pen solutions, users can fill out paper forms and automatically store the information for upload into your application without rekeying the data.  System checks and data verification can be done within the form and/or before the data is uploaded to your infrastructure.

The digital pen with its sleek and stylish design provides the look and feel of a 'luxury' pen with the functionality to digitally capture everything you write or draw on smart digital paper.  The pen optically reads handwritten information on digital forms and notebooks and creates digitized documents.  The digital pen:

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Organizations with geographically dispersed assets, including utilities, water, wastewater, government and defense will benefit from the incorporation of ESRI's ArcGIS components into their Asset Management framework, providing user interfaces that support robust interactions between the asset management and GIS systems in a single integrated environment.

Seamless integration with ESRI ArcGIS, Geographical Information System creates powerful asset management solutions that let users easily locate the position of geographically-dispersed assets, such as linear assets, on a map. Field technicians spend a large portion of their time traveling back and forth across the city performing maintenance at multiple locations. The capabilities of the GIS integration module help optimize the workday by planning a more efficient route to designated locations, thereby reducing drive time and increasing the efficiency of the city’s labor work force.

Mobile GIS is the expansion of a geographic information system (GIS) from the office into the field. A mobile GIS enables field based personnel to capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic information. Mobile GIS integrates one or more of the following technologies:
