Workers Use Cell Phones to Submit Data
Paperless data exchange between field workers and their offices is not new. But Florida startup JumpStart Wireless is bringing it to regular cell phones with software that bridges incompatibilities among handsets. The AP reports.
"Using artificial intelligence, the Delray Beach-based company's application fits most business software, and works with nearly every cell phone brand.
"Any phone you can play a game on, you can run our software on," said Jeff Bonar, who started JumpStart in 2000.
... Companies customize forms that organize the information they want sent to a field worker. Data bounce from the office to JumpStart's servers to the worker's phone and back.
It helps eliminate paperwork and reduces the need for employees to perform data entry for client billing and in-house accounting. It can help speed up billing and track staff productivity."
