Decisiv Certifies the Motion F5Tablet PC for use with the Decisiv Service Management Platform
Joint solution streamlines the service write-up process and provides easier access to in-context parts and service information
Glen Allen, Virginia – January 27, 2009 – Decisiv, Inc., the provider of an advanced web-based technology designed to enable more informed and timely decisions critical to maintaining commercial vehicles, today announced that it has certified the Motion® F5 rugged tablet PC from Motion Computing®, a leader in mobile computing and wireless communications, for use with the Decisiv Service Management Platform (DSMP).
“By certifying the Motion F5 tablet PC we are enabling dealer service locations and fleets that use the DSMP to compress inspection time and have immediate access to in-context vehicle, parts and service information as technicians and other service personnel work on a vehicle,” said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. “The wireless tablet PC automatically interacts with the Decisiv platform to provide important information to technicians and to update service writers with inspection findings. This capability streamlines the service write up process whether the vehicle is in the shop or on the road.”
The Motion F5, weighing about three pounds, is a thin, rugged and lightweight tablet PC designed for the mobile nature of trucking service technician workflow. Easier to use while standing or walking than a laptop or a PDA, the F5 features a large screen size, full processing capabilities, a ViewAnywhere ® display for use under any lighting conditions, and an integrated camera for documentation of damaged parts or problems.
“Decisiv has developed a unique solution for the trucking industry that has proven to streamline processes and improve productivity, benefits that can be further extended with the use of the F5,” said Mike Stinson, Motion vice president of marketing. “We’re excited to have this opportunity to improve awareness of the benefits of immediate data input at the point of service and value Decisiv’s partnership, and their deep knowledge of the trucking industry that will help drive demand for our combined solution.”
The DSMP, developed over seven years provides a common and consistent service initiation and write-up process that can be deployed across entire North American service networks, and serve as communication conduit with customers during service transactions. DSMP, currently in use by about one third of the OE dealer and component distributor service community, and at a growing number of fleets, is revolutionizing customer relationships under the brand names Diamond Estimating System and ServicePartner at International dealerships, MVASIST at Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks dealers, QuoteIt at W.W. Williams service facilities, DSMP at Freightliner service locations and Prevost.ASIST at Prevost repair facilities.
