My team is developing a mobile software application for a large Toyota auto dealer. They want to track the status of all used automobiles in the following manner:
- inventory each vehicle and apply a dealership barcode label to the window
- inspect each vehicle
- identify work that is needed to be performed
- assign service technicians to complete the work
- track each vehicle and its work status
- Provide a management view of the work on a website
- complete a quality assurance inspection of all work completed
One of the biggest challenges the dealership faced was the process of identifying the status of a large number of vehicles in a lot and keeping everything organized. My team (at MobileDataforce) developed mobile handheld software applications that allowed each of these processes to be completed using mobile handheld computers.
