The coordinated flow of information between workers and with their managers improves the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations.
Flowfinity Actions allows organizations to give their field personnel access to data while giving managers the power to assign work, track progress, and get reports on business outcomes. This provides benefits ranging from worker productivity to management effectiveness, and includes better work performance, reduced operational costs, reduced operational risk, increased compliance and improved business measurement. Additional benefits arise from use over time since Flowfinity Actions deployments are adaptable on-the-fly giving the business added flexibility and responsiveness not possible with other mobile solutions.

| Continuous Application Access, Even When Offline |
- Improved worker productivity due to immediate access to views and forms. Since views and forms are resident on the device, there is no delay to display a view or begin entering data into a form.
- Works even when you don't have reliable network access. Access to critical information is not prevented by lost connectivity.
- Reliable data submission. Unlike a browser, information submitted when little or no connectivity is available will not be lost. It will be queued until connectivity is detected and then automatically sent.
|
| Over 25 Different Field Types, Including Pick Lists |
- Improve speed and quality of data entry. By using pick lists or specific field types like dates, data entry is much faster and more accurate.
|
| Automated, push-based synchronization. |
- Eliminates need to educate end-users about the need for manual procedures to keep data synchronized.
- Users have zero-wait experience and are more productive.
- Reduces wireless traffic and therefore reduces bandwidth costs and improves battery life.
|
| All data stored centrally. |
- No need for manual procedures to import data from each handheld device. All data is automatically collated.
- The enterprise/organization can begin using the data immediately after it is submitted. It requires only one click to export data for viewing in Microsoft Excel or for import into another software system or database.
|
| Integrated reporting using Microsoft SQL Reporting Services. |
- Comprehensive, timely reporting helps managers gain insights into key performance indicators and empowers them to make better decisions.
|
| Both desktop browser and handheld client access. |
- Field workers can access their work from their desktop computers when they return to office, or from laptop computers when connected to corporate networks remotely.
- Non-mobile employees, especially management, can participate in key steps in business processes such as assignment and approvals.
- Dispatchers can initiate job entry and do job assignment with ease from a desktop web interface.
|
| Integrated communications, including email and PIN messaging integration. |
- Users can compose emails from within the application as part of their field work.
- In emergency response scenarios, PIN-to-PIN messaging can be leveraged as part of a field operation process.
|
| Centralized Management. |
- Easy for IT management to provision new users and new templates.
- Easy for business managers to adapt business processes without incurring a major IT project.
|
| Simple, Affordable Per User Pricing |
- Affordable one-time license fee. Unlike monthly hosted services where you keep paying every month, an outright purchased license is more cost effective in the long run.
- Predictable costs mean predictable budgeting.
- Get results without compromise. Since you pay a per user license fee and not a 'per template' fee, you can deploy as many templates as are necessary to get the job done right.
- With no server prices and no artificial limits on how you use and deploy the application, increased utilization of the application and more templates increases the business benefits per user without increasing license costs per user.
|
| Easy, affordable, and reliable Integration. |
- Reduced time to integration with a reasonable budget means reduced time to ROI.
- Eliminates costly manual processes to manage issues arising from data loss or duplication.
|
| Extensible using Web Services. |
- Capabilities of other systems in your enterprise/organization can be leveraged in field applications.
- Deeper customization is possible within a flexible architectural approach.
