PowerTrack®
Mobile Solution Builder for Construction
Streamline operations and boost
productivity by using PowerTrack mobile software to automate your paper
reporting requirements. Using rugged handheld terminals, your supervisors can
submit their field information for labor, equipment, production and materials
faster and more accurately.
PowerTrack consists of a PC server
application and client software running on Microsoft Windows Mobile PDAs or PC
workstations. The system can be set up using a wireless network for rapid data
delivery or with batch communications.
How it Works
Current employee, equipment,
material and job information from the main office computer is automatically
downloaded to your supervisors' PDAs. On the job, the PDAs are used to quickly
and accurately scan employee badges and equipment using bar codes or by
selecting data from a scrollable list.
A transaction type is selected
from a drop down menu on the PDA, and the associated prompt buttons for that
transaction type will display on the PDA. Using the integrated scanner, keypad,
user-selectable lists or search functions on the PDA, data is entered for each
prompt button. Posted transactions can be viewed and edited on the PDA by the
supervisor before being transmitted to the PowerTrack server.
During synchronization, the data
collected with the PDA is uploaded to the server, and new employee and job data,
configuration changes, etc., are downloaded to the PDA. Once the information is
reviewed, PowerTrack can export the collected data to the company's job cost
accounting package.

Set up and Configuration
Tailor the system to your unique
operation by using the configuration utility to define transaction types, prompt
buttons and field names.
Optional control settings for each
prompt button are entered to define data entry methods, validate entered data
with the PDA database, set required data entry fields, continue to display the
same data value in a field after posting, auto-fill data, auto-post when all
required fields are entered, and allow unknown, non-validated data entry to be
posted.
Time collection logic can be set
to collect time as durations, or as real time - recording start times and
durations as they occur.
Transaction Review and Reports
All transaction records uploaded
from the PDA to the PC server may be reviewed and edited using Transaction
Review. Filtering records for viewing by transaction type and by field allow for
a variety of ways to analyze data. Selected records are displayed and may be
edited or deleted. Any Transaction Review screen can also be printed as a
report.
Software Integration
The PowerTrack software easily
integrates with existing accounting systems. PowerTrack uses ODBC connections
to pull information required for validation and selection lists directly from
the accounting system database. In turn, PowerTrack sends approved transaction
information either directly to the accounting system, or a text file is created
for upload at specified times.
PowerTrack PC Client
PowerTrack offers PC users access
to all the functionality available on the PDA, with a similar look and feel.
Transactions from PC users are fully integrated with the data collected from the
PDAs.
