You would never buy a car from someone who just made engines. Buying software for your Field Mobility needs can sometimes create that same problem.That's why System ID's Field Mobility package is a Total Solution.
We provide the software
We deliver the hardware
We integrate software, hardware and your back office systems
Anything less is just a piece of the solution and who needs an engine without wheels?
If your business has a mobile work force and a service reputation to uphold, then you know how important it is to empower that work force with the right tools. That's what we do best... so you can focus on what you do best... run you business.
We also offer a wide variety of service after your total solution is launched and in the field. Take a look at the tabs below to discover what you get with a total solution.
Mobile Application Software
Our Mobile Application Software resides on the Mobile Device and thus a "Thick Client". What this means to you is that your field personnel are not dependent on the wireless network to do their job. They continue to use the application and when connection is made, data transfers.
Some solutions are near ready.. 80% out of the box. We customize these solutions to meet your specific needs and you are ready to go.
Some solutions need a unique approach and we start from the ground floor which is understanding your operating processes. In these scenarios, we often do ride-alongs, conduct user group discussions and produce a unique custom solution.
We work with your back office ERP systems to make sure that critical information coming from the device finds its way into the right files in your accounting, inventory and payroll systems.
Integration also makes sure that information that needs to flow to the mobile device (schedules, work orders, etc.) is correctly synchronized, scheduled and delivered properly.Mobile Device Selection
System ID has been in the barcoding and mobile device business for more than 20 years. We have strong partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers, including Motorola/Symbol, Intermec and Opticon.
While Motorola/Symbol has nearly 4800 partners, System ID is 1 of only 62 "PartnerSelect Business Partners." This placement in the top 1% of the Motorola/Symbol partner group reflects our experience and extensive knowledge of the Motorola/Symbol product line. We are also the longest standing member of the Symbol Advisory Board.
The Motorola/Symbol hand held mobile devices include the MC70, MC50 and MC35.

Device Reliability
System ID recommends and provides only devices that are ruggedized or durable in nature. Consumer devices (smart phones, Blackberrys etc.) provide very limited protection against the rigors of a typical field mobility environment. Although less expensive as a capital outlay, the total cost of ownership for consumer-level devices is much higher, as studies from Motorola show:
Compared to rugged devices, consumer devices have:
- Up to 4 times higher expected failure rate.
- 35% 2-year replacement rate, compared to 2% for rugged devices.
- 44% higher internal IT support requirements.
- Up to 48% higher downtime.

System Integration and Services
A successful mobility project requires much more than picking the right software and hardware. System ID wraps needed services and support around the whole process.
During Development
The Solutions Workshop
System ID works with our customers in a day long session to understand the exact deliverables and system interfaces. From this, we create a detailed functional specification. The functional specification, statement of work and final acceptance criteria are finalized and signed off in about 10 days.
System Test
System ID performs a system test at its facility where we match the application software to a simulated version of the customer's back office system prior to going into the field.
Beta Test
System ID accompanies customer mobile workers in 3-5 different live field scenarios and measures the performance of the entire system. The test takes as long as required to successfully meet the final acceptance test agreed to in the Solutions Workshop. After successful completion of the beta test, the mobile project is fully capable of wide scale deployment.
During Deployment
System ID performs all of the following services as a bundled package, so you can focus on your business rather than on implementation, deployment and training.
- Hardware procurement
- Training (Train the trainer)
- Loading of software onto devices
- Wireless activation of the devices
- Pre-ship testing
- Roll-out support
- Help desk support
- Overnight replacement from spares pool
- Remote hosting (if required)
- Ongoing support
