Handheld technology and remote working bring the potential for dramatic improvements in the way in which Estates and Facilities departments operate. Significant increases in the efficiency and productivity of your engineering and trade staff can be further enhanced by considerable savings in the costs/time associated with data entry, system administration and printing tickets.
This capability is now available as an optional module for our highly successful Eclipse-fm® Facilities Management software
Eclipse-fm® MTM (Mobile Task Management) from Asckey Data Services, allows NHS Estates & Facilities managers to realise these benefits by providing remote workers with the ability to receive FULL details of a task, wherever they are throughout the estate without the need to carry paper tickets or seek the use of a PC terminal.
In addition to receiving and logging onto a task, a remote worker can then log off tasks upon their completion, including providing an ’electronic signature’. The full record of these events and timings are then uploaded to the host Eclipse-fm® system for full integration into the standard operating, reporting and auditing processes.
Eclipse-fm® MTM is designed to run across a range of industry standard PDA’s and ’smart-phones. This means you decide which hardware device or system is most suitable for your trust.
You also have a choice of connection methods - Wireless,
GPRS, Bluetooth and cradle are all available.
