Smoke Screen Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 anyone know of a decent setup to be used by service engineers for job allocation etc to a pda or mobile device but compatble with mac os at the office end of the setup, and able to capture customer signature etc on the hand held unit, use on routine service, fault calls etc We have had to build our own bespoke software to accomplish that exact spec. We intend to resell licences and deployment of the software in the future. In the meantime, there is one company I know of that offer an off the shelf solution, bit it aint cheap......

Nova-Security Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 i am working on a means of doing this with ppc and exchange but will need an ms server. And its very early days as its still in the deign stages. If i could get a mysql lib for pocket pc id use that but everything db based for ppc needs ms sql at the mo You only need exchange if you want ot send a PPC telegram from one PDA to another, if you just place PPC on a pc then ever PDA gets the same info.

Smoke Screen Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Hey Matt, we are very close to doing the same thing. You show me yours and i'll show you mine! We don't mind showing you our amazing tool. Bizarrely, it ended up with the working title ELVIS, and it has stuck. It is quite funny, the office girls have been heard saying things along the lines of "I love working on Elvis" "Elvis has made life so much easier" Elvis has had a lage impact on our lives it would seem.
