Data collection forms with local validations, rich functionality and online or offline processing capabilities can be developed and deployed in a fraction of cost and time with DataMovil. Easy to customize forms, delivered over the air, for field suveys, government inspections or marketing activities. Input can be manually entered or gathered with bar code or RFID scanners. Results can be submitted to an Internet connected server in real time or deferred in time, collecting all data from a session at once. Data Collection and Field Inspection solutions include:

• Rich forms management
• Forms version management
• Local data validation
• Input from external devices like bar code or RFID scanners
• Activity tracking

Overall benefits of the solution:

• Increase productivity. Intermidiate steps between data gathering and backend consolidation are eliminated, which saves time and effort
• Reduce paperwork. Data enters the backend system directly from the location where it is produced
• Improve accuracy of the information. Less erroneous data due to transcription mistakes come into the system. Errors are detected at the earliest phases of the data collection
• Employee satisfaction. Field workers can accomplish their tasks with less effort and more efficiently
• Real time follow up of all field activities and real time of results analysis if required

Technical benefits of the solution:

• Fast development and implementation. The development of the forms may take place in hours using the DataMovil development
• Online and Offline Modes. DataMovil may work in connected, not connected and mixed modes. Total management of local device data and its server synchronization is supported. The DataMovil security features assures that no data is ever lost.
• Easy integration with existing backend systems. DataMovil directly supports Web Services and all data transmission are done in XML format on top of standard protocols like HTTP. These features permit to integrate any legacy system with extreme simplicity.
