Photo Capture

It is our opinion that the use of photography on commercial wireless handsets is significantly underutilized as a business tool.

Certainly the consumer market makes uses of photography extensively, but more for recreation and on-the-fly of sharing of photos via email, twitter, etc. For a business user, the true value is incorporating photos (before and after shots for example) right inside field forms and fully integrated into back office systems.

• Show what you delivered
• Show how you found a job
• Display something broken
• Show how you left a job
• Show how a competitor is pricing or displaying their information
• Show a vehicle inspection - was the hood really open when the worker checked fluid levels

Certainly any photo from a business user can be emailed to their boss if needed. What AIRmobility® brings to the function is Impending photos captured into a permanent record with user name, date, time, GPS coordinates as well as any other collected data from our form generation system. This can be stored on the AIRmobility® server or routed back to an existing back office system for any variety of needs.

All compatible handsets in which support photo capabilities are available to demonstrate live right now. Click on AIRmobility® Demo to get started.

Clear Channel Outdoor

Uses photo capture virtually every time a bill board, bus shelter or street furniture is swapped out with ad copy or when maintenance is provided. Management can use pictures to help guide the user on how to fix something, send a proof of performance photo immediately to a customer when posted, or share with a city how a problem was solved visually and virtually on-the-fly. See: Case Studies

Here are some examples of how photos are assisting Clear Channel improve customer satisfaction, improve productivity and save resources by decreasing the cost of management of having to go into the field as often as required before photo support was added.

The photos below are part of a maintenance assessment application/form in which supports GPS tracking, field bar coding integrated with photo capture and back office automation of completed work. They are not just photos sent via email but fully integrated into a real time management system.

User tagged this record as needing a brush removal. This was immediately escalated to the maintenance department within 30 seconds of the photo taken:

Management can instantly make a determination if a bill board was posted to their satisfaction by the worker:
