What does it do?
The PDA Asset Module will allow an organization the ability to manage all it's assets using simple PDA devices and standard bar codes. Simply scan a bar code using a PDA device outfitted with a scanner attachment and all the important data pertaining to a piece of equipment can be added, edited or viewed from the database. The user then has many options about how this data will be sorted and managed.

How does it run?
The PDA Asset Module runs on a standard PDA attached to a Symbol Scanner. This allows the PDA to function as a scanning device. To use it, the user will simply have to push a button while pointing the PDA at a bar code that will be attached to all assets within the organization. The PDA will display details of that asset and allow the technician to update that asset with any additional or changed information.

What are some of the features?
The PDA Asset Module tracks many of the same asset fields in the GLS Service Manager application synchronizes with GLS Service Manager and flags those changes made in the field. It can create on screen reports of all assets within the organization by building or room counts. It features fast asset inventory checks, creating less disruption and thus less down time due to inventory count. The module can then track the Asset Status of that equipment and flag it to the user, giving the user messages such as "Deployed out in the field" or "In shop for repair" to describe where the item is at this time. It also allows for a quick check as to where an asset is by building and room. It features a duplicate data base of GLS Service Manager that allows you to take your asset information with you to meetings and answer any questions regarding it.
