The growth of the mobile workforce
According to Gartner, more and more industries are relying on a mobile workforce to deliver services and products, but the technology isn't there to support this trend.
Enabling Mobile Work with Power Apps
Give your employees on the go the tools they need to do their jobs more efficiently and increase customer satisfaction with low-code mobile solutions
Delivery drivers, repair technicians, home health workers, salespeople, insurance adjusters…today, more industries than ever before have mobile workers. It makes sense to put the people responsible for certain jobs at the location where they’re doing that job. The Dilemma: Remote and field workers require a distinct set of tools compared to your in-house workers in order to effectively carry out their tasks. Alongside mobile connectivity, the integration of specialized applications is imperative for their operational success.
In today's ever-expanding landscape of industries, a myriad of professions now rely on mobile workers. Placing these employees directly at the site of their assigned tasks intuitively aligns with the nature of their work. However, a notable hurdle arises: remote and field workers necessitate distinct sets of tools compared to their in-house counterparts to effectively carry out their responsibilities. Mobile connectivity proves indispensable to them, yet equally vital are the applications tailored specifically to their unique job requirements.
