The tools of trade of a health and safety consultant used to be his clipboard and pen for on-site activity, a spreadsheet to create his questionnaires and a word processor to create his reports.  More lately he will have used his digital camera for taking pictures, and his mobile phone to arrange his visits.  Even though he has a laptop, the whole process is disjointed and outdated. Creating and sending reports is unacceptably time consuming. Storing the information is a comparative nightmare, with data held in undisciplined disorganised storage.

Since the invention of the PDA and the integration in a small hand held device of a mobile phone, camera, global positioning, video recorder, voice recorder, and the functionality of office software, combined with a huge amount of storage space and a SQL Server database, its become possible to provide the consultant with a fantastic tool to carry out his duties. Not only that, at Mobile Software Systems we've created a web site to be used to store the data you've collected, permanently, securely and intelligently.  The data collected on the PDA can be transmitted to the web site using gprs data transfer technology or simply wired to an Internet connected computer, and its done automatically so it can't go wrong.  Likewise, the web site is hosted for you by experts who'll guarantee 99.99% availability of the data 24 hours a day.

Amazingly, the reports produced by the system are just the same as your own, except they are produced in seconds rather than the hours spent formatting those spreadsheets and word processor documents. In fact they're better because they include the photos taken, and any signatures which were given.  They can be summarised and analysed and yet still have a drill down to the primary information.  Reports can be sent as PDF attachments to whoever needs them (the client usually) via email.  Even  more useful is the management of non-compliances. Action Planning functionality provides the capability to automatically remind people that they have outstanding activities to carry out.  The consultant can supply his client with a foolproof due diligence system, that can be monitored by him to offer them improved follow-up services.
