Georgia Fire Inspectors Save Time With TradeMaster's MobileEyes(TM) Software and Technical Support
| Source: TradeMaster, Inc.
TROY, MI -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 7, 2007 --Fire inspectors in Dalton, Georgia are realizing
more benefits than originally anticipated from the recent installation of
MobileEyes™, a patent pending software developed by TradeMaster.
"Our initial goal was to simply get away from paper reports," said Bruce
Satterfield, Dalton's deputy fire chief. "Our inspectors don't have a
secretary, and they were used to handwriting everything."
MobileEyes™ software runs on a tablet PC and includes handwriting
recognition capabilities that make note-taking as easy as writing on a
yellow pad. It also gives inspectors the ability to easily access all the
required fire inspection and building codes directly through MobileEyes as
opposed to carrying multiple three-ring binders into the field or going
back to the office to research codes.
As a result, Satterfield explained that their reports are much more
professional, because they include the specific code section reference and
verbiage so there's no misinterpretation.
Many of the fire inspections in Dalton, which is known as the "carpet
capital of the world," are focused on heavy commercial and manufacturing as
well as other businesses.
"Not only are our reports more professional, but production has increased,"
added Satterfield. "Before our inspectors would need an extra day for
writing and filing reports -- now these are filed automatically."
The ability to email reports to the building owner as well as print out
reports on-site has also been a big time saver.
Satterfield explained that everyone is still learning how to use all of the
software's capabilities, but when there is a question, fire inspectors can
expect to reach a knowledgeable member of TradeMaster's support team.
"We aren't techies," said Satterfield. "They've helped us with something
as simple as creating a report that is formatted and printed out on our
stationary."
