When building a wireless data solution, Westlake pays specific attention to creating an Optimal Workflow
Scenario™. Unlike most vendors who write wireless solutions for their customers, Westlake holds unique
knowledge around development platforms, devices and wireless data networks that spans more that 12
years. We believe this is a major differentiator in how Westlake develops solutions for its clients. For
example, without careful attention to architecture, a middle manager or product manager could design a
wireless application that requires each field worker to take two extra steps into the submission of data. 20
records a day X 2 extra steps X 2 seconds each X 200 field force professionals X 250 work days a year
totals over 1000 total hours of lost productivity annually.
Poor design can add significant cost to a project once implemented. Do you need your workers to be able to
complete forms even when out of coverage? Will your field forms require your field force to type full words
into fields versus selecting from a pre-defined list? If a field is 100% numeric driven, is the keypad on the
phone locked into a numeric only setting or still supporting both alphanumeric and numeric fields? How
does the application handle incoming calls?
Westlake Software, Inc. is a professional wireless integrator that places special focus on these questions and
others when architecting solutions for our customers. We explain in detail every step of the solution from
handset recommendations, development platforms and back office integration to ensure your organization
can achieve their optimal workflow scenario.
Westlake’s middleware and technology called AirMobility.Net is designed to assist organizations in creating
a needs analysis. At no cost to our potential new customers, Westlake can provide phones and service,
highly detailed and customized field forms on these phones (time cards, inspection forms, expense sheets,
work orders, delivery pick up and drop of record keeping, etc.), fully bar code and GPS support, a private
Extranet where the data can be collected, exported to Excel or database, XML supported, and a variety of
email options to route collected data right to your desktop. If you are in need of a data solution and would
like a free assessment, please contact Westlake Software, Inc. at sales@westlakesoftware.com.
