Flowfinity Announces Comprehensive Picture Support for Serious Business Applications
Flowfinity Actions Workflow Platform Features Smartphone Camera Integration, Centralized Picture Library and Picture Search/Retrieval
Orlando, FL - Flowfinity Wireless Inc., a leading provider of adaptable applications and fully integrated solutions for the wireless enterprise, today is announcing support for the use of picture images in the upcoming Flowfinity Actions 5.5 release in Q3 2008. This includes picture storage, search and retrieval and integration with the built-in camera featured on BlackBerry® Curve™ and BlackBerry® Pearl™ Series smartphones from Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX:RIM).
Flowfinity Actions has a proven track record for providing solutions as diverse as work order management, project management, asset management, sales management, and compliance management. By leveraging the built-in camera of BlackBerry smartphones, Flowfinity Actions 5.5 can provide enhanced value for serious business applications in the Field Service, Inspection and Security areas. The following unique capabilities highlight the unique value proposition:
1. Field reporting for incidents, inspections, and audits can include both the GPS location and photos
2. The centralized picture library means any picture recorded by one field worker can be searched for and retrieved by any other person in the company, whether a manager at his desktop computer or another field worker from his smartphone
Overall, this new capability enhances the reporting context for all jobs performed on the field as well as for assets. This can have significant financial implications for protection from legal liability, for quality of customer service, for adherence to regulatory regulations, and for visual identification.
"Our many customers have been demanding that we add a visual capability to our offering,” said Larry Wilson, Flowfinity's VP of Sales and Marketing. "A picture can be worth a thousand words, but a picture library you can leverage in your business applications, may be worth a lot more than that for your business."
