Motion Computing

[Tegrey]

This is our new system for estimating. (LE 1700Motion Computing).I still have plenty of bugs to work out. Hopefully I will be running it full within a month or two. The idea is to have an estimating system which has very little or no holds. I will be able to estimate any project, on site, cover it with a prospect client, make adjustments and print it out all at the same time. No returns,except to do the job. Being wireless is an awsome way to bring us into the new world of electronics. Paper work will dissipate and time will be saved. With a wifi or blutooth printer, it is possible to print any forms needed to seal the job, including a contract for signing,. Having the availability to complete an estimate which would take an hr., a second trip to mail or deliver an estimate and correcting, adding portions of a contract to the customers satisfaction all within minutes, without a second trip, priceless! Figuring measurements, adjusting products, and satisfying the customer is good business. We are in the information world. Being wireless is probably the best way today to acomplish your business goals and setting yourself apart from any other contractor. Thank You.

I checked out Motion Computing equipment when they first introduced their tablets. I liked them for the most part, but they ran REALLY hot, to the point that you could not carry them in your bare hand for more than a minute or so. And the batteries died within the first 45 minutes of steady use. I'm sure those issues have been addressed by now. Let us know how you like them.

We have been fully paperless for exactly one year oct. We start last march, it took my salepeople some longer than others to get adjusted.

Our next workings is work orders for techs.

Goodluck Terry, its not easy at first but will have great rewards.

Scott, Right on. It does get a little hot after an hr. or so. My avg. est will only be 10-15 min. though. I purchased a cooling unit to help.
Ron, I know we will not be totally paperless. Close though. I only have to print a hard copy for customer and employees work order. I like to e mail as much as possible to.

Ya. I suppose we are not actually 100%... We do e-mail and fax directly now more than ever.

Terry, Bring them to the beach. I will show you what we use.
