Mobile Workflow is one of the main trends for companies that want to improve their Geoproductivity through GeoManagement, which is becoming increasingly complex but at the same time more valuable.
What is Mobile Workflow?
Mobile Worflow is a dynamic workflow that addresses the needs of organizations whose employees are located in different geographical locations.
In other words, it is a digital workspace shared between people working outside the central offices at the field level and decision-makers in operational centers.
This type of workflow generates contextual relevance and operational fluidity for employees and holistic management vision and real-time decisions for decision makers.
The mobile workflow is the dynamic link between field employees and decision makers.
How does a Mobile Workflow work?
A Mobile Workflow is a workflow specially designed for organizations that require some of their employees to be away from the central offices.
For this reason, Mobile Workflow addresses two sets of needs; on the one hand, the needs of field employees to have the right tool at the right time, and on the other hand, the need of decision makers to have a full view of what is happening in the organization and the ability to take action based on the information they receive.
Mobile Workflow: The right tool at the right time
A mobile workflow raises the levels of contextual relevance that a field worker has. In other words, it increases their ability to adapt to the environment in which they find themselves.
To do this, through his smart mobile device, an employee sends information continuously through his SGG (GeoManagement Software).
This information is received by the software intelligence which can take two main paths.
On the one hand, the information sent can trigger an automatic rule that generates changes in the operator's workflow.
For example, a delay in the completion of a service can automatically impact the workflow of all collaborators by ordering the next services to be attended, taking into account the distances and average completion times of the tasks.
On the other hand, the information sent by the operator's mobile device can raise alerts in the management dashboards of the decision makers that can generate changes in the mobile workflow in real time that modify the tasks to be performed by the employee and therefore optimize their resources.
Mobile Workflow: Vision and action
A Mobile Workflow acts as a link between field employees and decision makers. In other words, every change that one of the parties needs to make in the workflow must be reflected in the mobile workflow.
This enables what we call the holistic managerial vision, that is, the ability of a decision-maker to have a total vision of the human and non-human resources available in the field.
The holistic management vision has the particularity that it allows to generate changes manually or automatically to the mobile workflow, which generates a dynamism in the optimization of resources.
The mobile Workflow is linked to automatic dashboards that generate graphs and tables that allow real-time monitoring of the tasks, resources and situations that employees have and face.
Why is Mobile Workflow a necessity?
In an increasingly dynamic world, static workflows are a thing of the past. It is essential to start thinking about workflows that have the necessary dynamism and whose main objective is to improve value generation in organizations where employees are located outside the operational centers.
In short, a good Mobile Workflow will help you to improve your GeoManagement and consequently your GeoProductivity.
