Mobility Navigates to Higher Revenue

As the producers of Hertz Neverlost® systems, Navigation Solutions earns recurring revenue by managing an inventory in constant motion. When they started having problems with their field processes, Anyware was brought in to assess the company's overall mobile strategy. During the assessment, Anyware uncovered revenue opportunities and ultimately became Navigation Solutions' trusted mobility partner.

To track its inventory of approximately 200,000 system assets, Navigation Solutions had been using a rudimentary mobile solution. But when problems with its mobile devices emerged and the company called for help, the mobility experts at Anyware not only solved the hardware issue but helped them identify other barriers to efficient mobile inventory management, such as limited collection abilities and overall data reliability.

Custom Mobility Assessment
To help customers navigate the mobility landscape, Anyware follows a proven methodology, engaging one-on-one to understand the customer's business objectives, internal processes, technical capabilities, and personnel requirements and identify areas where mobile strategies and technologies will positively impact the bottom line.

Based on this assessment, Anyware recommended a unique mobility solution meeting Navigation Solutions' requirements - working in collaboration through every step of the design, development, and delivery phases.

Mobility Roadmap
Working with Navigation Solutions, Anyware designed a total inventory tracking system that increased efficiency, improved productivity and recaptured lost data - all resulting in an immediate return on investment.

Rugged Devices
Navigation Solutions now uses rugged mobile devices equipped with barcode and infrared scanners to read and track its inventory of approximately 200,000 system assets. New user interfaces on the device make it faster and easier for personnel to navigate the mobile tracking system, and added intelligence allows them to record valuable new data about unit status and location. The addition of back-end improvements include real-time reporting and integration with existing office systems.

With its Anyware mobile solution, Navigation Solutions has coast-to-coast visibility into its North American inventory, controls costs through improved management, and maximizes revenues by reporting accurate, complete information in real time.
