Create and customize
dynamic data collection forms whenever you need them, then automatically
transmit the forms to your staff in the field collecting information with PDAs.
Central office staff create electronic forms or
questionnaires on their PCs using our Dynamic Forms Designer. The resulting
forms are transferred to mobile devices by phone line or GSM.
PDA users then collect the required information and complete the forms or
questionnaires. Data are uploaded to the server side application after the
field research is finished, enabling central office processing of information
received from a number of staff in the field.

myAvis™ is a software application for mobile device users.
Designed with sales and distribution organizations in mind, it enables
effective management of business processes involving customers located in
different regions.
Using a server side
client, central office staff monitor and direct the activities of mobile teams.
Field staff in turn use their PDA/Pocket PCs to receive data and instructions from
headquarters, and to record data collected during customer visits.
Principal areas of activity supported by myAvis™:
Stock and Goods (availability, current price…), Contacts (addresses, opening
hours…), Marketing (promotional events, materials…), Field Staff Management
(cost, time…).
myAVIS™ is a specialized system designed to increase
efficiency of the field activities
Many other competing
applications have been developed as extensions of the existing ERP, CRM or other systems so that a PDA can be used as a
client for the mobile users. Their great disadvantage is that their
functionality is limited only to the extend of what an original ERP or CRM
system is able to process. In other
words: a PDA extension of an ERP system enables its
mobile users to work with the ERP system remotely
but if the user needs to work with some
data which are not present in the ERP system (for
example CRM type of data) this type of the application does not provide the
support.
For example: If a field
sales person uses a PDA extension of a central ERP
system, it is easy for him/her to work with price lists, invoices orders etc.. but it is not easy to collect
detailed marketing information or contact information, because the central ERP system by its nature is not designed to process such
kinds of information in detail.
myAvis™ reflects the fact, that a person working outside of
the office needs to cover many various professional functions to be effective.
