Our Mobile Data Collection system (MDC) is an end-to-end paperless data collection and communication system which allows field representatives and mobile workers to collect data and communicate with a central head office using mobile phones.
The product is purpose-built for the FMCG industry
and has been designed around the specific business processes and requirements.
Projects can be created and deployed
across the GPRS network in real time, and the results can be
viewed online instantly as soon as the field representative
leaves the store - often before they have arrived back at their
car!

Conditional Questions (Logic Blocks)
Conditional questions minimise the number of clicks required by the operator by restricting parts of a question to scenarios where specific conditions are met.
In this instance, if the checkbox for SEL Inc Ent (SEL Incorrect on Entry) is checked by the operator, two additional controls are shown to allow further information to be collected.
Dynamic Questions Creation
The system has the ability to create forms with an unlimited number of questions, each of a different type. Dropdown menus, checkboxes, text fields, numeric codes, pricing information - any type of information can be set up as part of a project. The following screen shows how the system automatically re-adjusts the layout of the controls on a page to ensure that the maximum number of questions are able to be answered without scrolling the page.
Summary of Store "Issues"
In any given store visit, a number of actions may be required by the field representative such as merchandising stock, replacing SELs, or negotiating with the store manager. By automatically keeping track of which products require action and summarising on one page, the MDC system allows the field representative to make the most use of their time in store.
Automatically transfer data to and from devices
Data is transferred between the head office and the mobile device seamlessly - there is no need to manually upload call information once a store visit is complete.
