Why Mobile Means Savings in Data Collection

By
Mobile technology is everywhere. From gaming to medical devices, almost every field has a mobile application of its own. In some fields, however, mobile applications can pose a distraction or incur in excessive costs. That's not the case with data collection.

Mobile data collection software brings considerable savings compared to the old pen-and-paper alternative. These savings include:
  • Time: Filling forms and then transcribing them is time-consuming and tedious. Mobile data collection software not only allows reps to collect information on their smartphones or tablets but it also provides tools for optimizing forms and does away with transcribing.
  • Personnel: As mentioned above, mobile data collection software eliminates data transcribing, meaning that the staff that used to be allocated to this tedious task can now perform other responsibilities.
  • Paper: Eliminating paper forms and transitioning to mobile ones means getting rid of the huge volume and weigh that paperwork generates, along with the expense.
  • Mileage and fuel: State-of-the-art mobile data collection software includes tools that allow field staff to calculate their shortest route for the day when visiting several locations.
  • Time, again: Mobile data collection software not only streamlines the activity of data collection and transcribing, but it also makes it much more straightforward to run reports, translating in faster and more effective decision-making.

Cloud for Retail Execution: Make Away with Data Storage Costs

By Anonymous
Why Go Paperless? In order to store 2 million paper documents, an organization can expect to spend between $40,000 and $60,000 on filing cabinets alone. Those same files could fit on fewer than ten CD-ROMs (Business Guide to Paper Reduction) . If we assume that a filing cabinet uses from 6 to 20 square feet of space and the office space costs $23 per square foot , the space for a one filing cabinet will cost a company $1656– 5520 per year .   How to Go Paperless? When you choose paperless data collection your data storage costs can be significantly reduced or even brought to zero. Digital data collected using mobile forms require much less space than paper sheets and therefore cost less money.
