Posted in PDA Data Capture — Written by Cathy

Collecting vital data using paper forms before typing up the results on an office computer is inefficient and prone to errors. However PDA Data Capture and mobile data collection software for Windows Mobile can simplify this task.

PDA Data Capture software can be useful for facilities management, asset tracking, condition surveys, building surveys, preventative maintenance, inspections, opinion surveys, quality surveys and housing stock surveys. This cutting-edge mobile technology can provide clients with real-time data capture directly from the field.

Using a straightforward, tick-box format on PDAs, field agents can easily capture live data remotely and instantly file it to a secure website, giving companies and clients access to data on a daily basis. The benefits of PDA Data Capture include:

• Noticeably quicker turnaround of results and data for clients than under a paper-based system.
• Real-time access to data from the field.
• PDA-based data entry system enables PDA users to read, edit, download, store and submit predefined questionnaires onto a web server database.
• Completion of surveys can take a number of forms including check boxes, drop-down lists and free text

Users can easily run the applications on their Windows PC and enjoy complete functionality when using on their PDA along with added features. For executives looking to complete work on the move, PDAs and smartphones are the perfect solutions.
