mobileTMA

An advanced solution for the Palm and Pocket PC

With mobileTMA, TMA's advanced solution for handheld devices, organizations become mobile, not to mention paperless. mobileTMA enhances your productivity in a wired or wireless environment by providing the ability to manage work orders and other facility data electronically through a Pocket PC or Palm OS device. In addition, handheld devices can be assigned to more than one technician without having to worry about losing data — each technician's work remains separate. If you choose to go wireless, your staff can synchronize on demand or automatically via your wireless network. If your handheld device has scanning capability, the Bar Coding function increases accuracy and productivity even further. See how this handheld electronic work order system helps organizations enhance productivity.

Business benefits include the following:

• Eliminate paper work orders and easily organize the results of your technicians’ efforts.
• Eliminate double entry of technician’s data by entering data directly into the device.
• Provide your technicians with the opportunity to spend less time in transit and more time working.
