| Solution Overview: Vendor Performance Manager™ |
Merchandising Service Organizations (MSOs) and factory sales
and service teams can help drive increased sales by properly
displaying, stocking, and maintaining merchandise and performing
other services at key retail accounts. But monitoring execution
status, performance levels, and the quality of work performed by
mobile workers in hundreds or thousands of stores is a challenge.
Without a system to monitor compliance levels and important
metrics in real time and respond to problems and opportunities
using best practices, both the retailer and the MSO will be unable
to control costs and ensure a consistent and positive customer
experience. |

| White Paper: Designing Mobile Computing Devices That Improve Worker Productivity |
Providing mobile workers with computing devices that assist them in the field creates great opportunities to improve productivity. To be most effective, mobile computing devices must not only perform the tasks they are required to do, but also be designed to meet the needs, abilities, and limitations of workers and their work environments. This means ergonomics, a scientific discipline that concerns itself with finding the perfect fit between people and their work to improve employee job satisfaction, is a crucial element when designing effective mobile computing devices.

For my car, the difference of a few cents per gallon equates to a few dollars per tank — and although it’s nice to save, I’m not breaking the bank when fuel prices rise a couple of cents.
