Working offline and online when needed, FieldWorker also enables the update of mobile applications remotely, eliminating the necessity - and the downtime - of bringing workers and devices in from the field.

FieldWorker is designed for the development, deployment and management of applications for mobile workers who are directly involved in the daily operational work of a company. FieldWorker enables the two-way exchange of data so workers in the field can move critical data from where they capture or find it, to corporate back-end systems for further processing.

• Single-data Capture: Information can be submitted directly to operational systems without having to be recaptured, thus eliminating the need for skilled staff to fill in forms and re-enter data
• Accuracy & Consistency: Accurate results are assured every time and consistent data allows for valuable reporting and analysis
• Speed: Data can be used as soon as it is transferred from the mobile device rather than waiting days or weeks
• Productivity: Research has found that mobile applications generate an additional five hours per week of productivity per person, i.e. 12% or more increase in work output
• Reduced tedious, repetitive field operations and processes with field automation leading to greatly improved quality of service to customers and ‘quality of life’ of field operatives
• Rapid Application Development allows applications to be developed and distributed rapidly, together with coordinated deployment, leading to an improved ROI

• Fieldworker is built on J2EE architecture and uses Java, making it device independent. Any Microsoft-based device, such as PDAs, tablets and industrial terminals are supported, including capture of digital images, use of GPS and specialised devices such as RFID readers
• The components of FieldWorker include:
  Administrator: Define groups and assign privileges
  Designer:  Design immediately deployable field applications.
  Console: Define users, deploy the applications directly to field users, and view collected data
  Server: Manages all synchronisation, deployment, distribution, collection, back-end integration using XML.
  Client:  displays the application, stores transactions and data for later transmission - store-and-forward synchronisation - or real-time query/update, 
  Integration Toolkit: Supports XML and integration to back-office applications.
• Synchronisation between the Server and Device uploads and downloads operational data, and includes the update and rollout of new applications remotely.
