The advantage of vWork is that the organisation and real-time functionality of the software will allow businesses to have more time for more jobs and has proven to increase ROI for businesses who have implemented vWork.
Using Google Maps, dispatchers and fleet staff can see jobs either on iPhone or Andriods and assign jobs on a PC web browser.
How it works
Developed in New Zealand by Trade me founder Sam Morgan, vWork offers a simple tracking, scheduling and dispatching service for download through Apple’s App store.
The rapid adoption of the software as a service model – using software and information over the internet rather than installed locally – and smartphones has turned the proprietary software into a dinosaur overnight.
The full vWork version of the product gives companies the option to link the dispatch function into billing systems, such as MYOB, providing the ability to manage larger volumes of work and fleets.
It also made the entry point for businesses lower. Smartphones are increasingly in the hands of consumers, lowering hardware costs and vWork offers a no-contract, subscriber model.
vWork free trials are available through Solutions To Go www.s2go.com.au, a Brisbane-based IT firm offering vWork app to business Australia-wide.
