[June 14, 2013] Xora Adds Reporting Capabilities to Workforce Management Solution Tweet Jun 14, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Xora, Inc., a company focusing on mobile workforce management, announced several additions to its management application Xora StreetSmart, including one-click report creation and an interface that makes editing and sharing reports faster and easier. According to a release, the new reporting capabilities turn companies' day-to-day operating data about the performance of their mobile workforces into insights they can use to improve productivity and grow their businesses. Tucker Communications, Inc., a cable-installation contract firm in Thomaston, Ga., started using Xora StreetSmart about a year ago to eliminate handwritten and word-processed paper updates sent by postal mail daily to headquarters from the 130 mobile employees who work throughout Georgia and Alabama. Before Xora StreetSmart, it could take Tucker up to one week to produce reports for a particular day's activities in the field. Now, for the 70 of those field employees who are using Xora StreetSmart mobile forms on Samsung tablets to collect and wirelessly send data to headquarters, Tucker said it has reduced its field-report turnaround time from one week to 24 hours or less. The company will outfit the remaining field employees with Xora StreetSmart by the end of the year, and expectations are high that Tucker Communications will see even greater improvement. Caleb Walls, Manager of Asset Retention at Tucker, said Xora StreetSmart's reports interface has improved "by leaps and bounds. Now, we can create templates for reports that everyone who needs to can access easily." Said Tom Miltonberger, VP of Products and Engineering of Xora, "Better reporting in Xora StreetSmart enables customers to stay aligned with their business goals and get better results." Xora StreetSmart is a suite of configurable mobile apps, plus a web-based management application. The mobile apps turn any mobile phone or tablet into a productivity tool. The management application lets managers and office personnel analyze performance for better decision-making. Mobile timesheets save time and reduce errors. Mobile forms and mobile jobs reduce phone tag and manual paperwork. Photo and electronic-signature capture provide proof of service. With this new release of Xora StreetSmart, Xora said it supports more than 175 mobile devices - more than any other mobile workforce management solutions provider. Over 80 percent of the devices are smartphones and tablets from manufacturers across multiple carrier partners. Said Miltonberger, "We certify mobile devices that our carriers tell us are most in demand, and we rigorously test these devices to ensure that they are functional and reliable with Xora StreetSmart." Earlier this year, Xora StreetSmart was presented with the MobilTrax 2013 Mobility Award for enterprise-mobility integrated mobile management.
