A Field Mobility Solution is much more than just a smart phone

L-Tron Corporation is pleased to unveil their innovative Field Mobility System, created in response to the difficulties faced by sales, service and direct store delivery companies.  Upon speaking with such companies, L-Tron ascertained that often there is a disconnect between field workers and company headquarters, which can result in wasted time and errors within the workflow process.  Furthermore, competition among companies makes it difficult to maintain high customer service levels while reducing costs to increase profitability.  Given these obstacles, L-Tron developed a total solution specifically designed to help companies become more productive, efficient and profitable by streamlining field operations, eliminating paper forms, improving task accuracy and inventory management, and increasing the velocity of order and payment cycle times.

Although many businesses today have answered the question of field mobility by simply purchasing their field workers smart phones, Lynn Johnson, Marketing Director at L-Tron Corporation, emphasizes that a field mobility solution is much more than just a smart phone.

“Our field service clients are always looking for new ways to collect and access real-time data while they are personally interacting with a customer.  Of particular interest has been the ability to ‘close out’ with payment at the end of the visit, eliminating the need for someone back at office headquarters to handle billing,” Johnson explains.  “Our clients are looking for a robust industrial level solution, which will allow for environmental challenges and a longer life span than a commercial grade solution, giving them a higher level of ROI.  With L-Tron’s solution, service employees in the field can assist in the sale of services and products, adding to the bottom line of the company’s overall profitability, as well as servicing customers at the highest level.”

With real-time connections between a company and its field workers, supervisors are able to actively manage their employees and make immediate changes, positively impacting customer service levels.  Moreover, mobile computing simplifies business procedures through the use of automation, which effectively eliminates errors and delays in the processing of information.  In turn, the mobile workforce is freed to spend additional time with customers to generate more orders, strengthen customer relationships and improve customer loyalty.  Such business procedures include inventory management, proof of delivery, on-the-spot ordering, and rapid invoicing.  L-Tron’s solution allows virtually any task to be completed instantly, which positively impacts the fulfillment of critical business tasks such as demand forecasting, production line scheduling and inventory managements.

As durability is a necessity for field workers of today, L-Tron ensures that each  mobility solution is comprised of resilient hardware designed to withstand various external environments, while  featuring an ergonomic design for individuals on the move.  L-Tron’s software developers provide data collection and recording applications for a field staff’s mobile computers and printers, all of which can be integrated into a back office system.

Across the country, income tax preparers are breathing sighs of relief.  April 15^th has come and gone.  For some, the past months of tax preparation have gone fairly smoothly, while others have experienced chaos.  Knowing that there is always room for improvement, L-Tron Corporation has developed a state-of-the-art technology solution for the income tax industry, geared toward personal income tax preparers.  L-Tron’s solution takes into account industry trends toward bar coding of tax forms and paperless initiatives using electronic signatures, while providing innovative technology that leads to increased productivity, fewer errors, and improved workflow.

With over 30 years of experience, L-Tron understands that the tax industry faces many business challenges.  Traditional income tax reporting methods result in excessive paperwork tracking, while averaging as much as 5% human error.  Standard data input times range from 20 to 30 minutes for new clients.  These are significant gaps within an industry where accuracy and efficiencies are imperative and security is required.  When the SSA and IRS added barcoded versions of the W-2 and W-3 forms to the list of acceptable submission formats in late 2010, L-Tron recognized how critical developing a means of helping tax preparers improve their customer service and streamline processes within their businesses would be to the industry.

“L-Tron’s customers within the tax industry have shared that they consider the new IRS guidelines as a heads-up to make changes sooner than later,” explains L-Tron Senior Solutions Account Executive, Rich Riedman. “While at this point only W-2 forms have been addressed, there is a need to address additional forms, such as 1099s, which will have an even greater impact on the public at large.  L-Tron’s ability to provide a pleasant and efficient customer experience is key, while saving time with each interaction in a secure manner.”

The components of L-Tron’s tax solution include a barcode scanner, which is programmed to support tax form scanning, as well as intelligent signature capture, which provides tax preparers with a secure way to input each client’s information into the correct tax form.  L-Tron’s solution provides greater accuracy, data integrity, time and paper savings for an industry driven by streamlined efficiencies, accuracy and governance.
