Tablet PC Enables Field Personnel to Manage, Send, and Receive Multi-Format Data: CADs, Photos, Sketches & Paper Forms

Field2Base(TM), Inc., a pioneer in information mobility, today announced commercial availability of its comprehensive construction industry solution, ConstructConnect(TM). ConstructConnect offers a complete set of mobile performance and productivity tools for job site personnel, including field superintendents, project managers, architects, engineers, inspectors, and field sales.

ConstructConnect utilizes highly innovative, patent-pending software applications designed specifically for Tablet PCs, and combines them with enhanced wireless data communications capability that links ConstructConnect users to the Internet or corporate servers via cell phone or WiFi data networks.

"Our solution solves several major job site issues that result from the inability to clearly communicate information immediately with field-based teams," said David Lea, CEO of Field2Base. "We mobilize data the way cellular telephones mobilize voice communications. ConstructConnect prevents time delays and reduces misunderstandings, while allowing everyone in the construction process--from field to office to subcontractors--to see the same information at the same time. We provide mobility and portability of all data, as we offer the ability for workers to complete documents in the field and alert all affected parties to changes and updates."

ConstructConnect enhances the simplicity and mobility of the Tablet PC through a propriety toolset that is stable, easy-to-use, and adaptable to project-specific or company-specific needs, without requiring changes to company processes or forms. ConstructConnect enables field-based management and communication of CADs, photos, orders, change orders, or any paper document. It also provides a communications "audit trail" of all data sent to and from the field. To convert virtually any paper form into a transmittable, usable computerized form, Field2Base offers a universal conversion tool that enables existing paper forms to be converted and communicated via email or fax, or sent directly to a host system.

"My years developing large projects taught me that any technology used in construction must be usable by a wide range of people, some with little or no computer experience," said Ed White, who heads a large real estate development company, White Ventures LLC, and is Chairman of Field2Base. "We are particularly pleased with the ease of use of ConstructConnect. It allows workers with any skill level to use our system, with minimal training. An icon-driven menu makes choices easy and does not require any language skills to use. We have successfully tested ConstructConnect in a variety of field situations over the past eight months and know the system can be used by field personnel of all skill levels to deliver substantial and continuing productivity returns," added White.

Field2Base offers a packaged "turn-key" solution including Tablet PC hardware, wireless data network connections, the ConstructConnect software, and data storage for a low monthly subscription fee. "Our service cost about $10 a day for most users, and the return on this investment can be fast and dramatic," said Ed Holloway, CTO of Field2Base. "A single phone call saved per day, or one less trip to an office to file forms, deliver time sheets, or submit change orders or purchase orders from a remote field location can yield enormous payback for our users. Our patent-pending communications capability does not require monitoring for user wireless connectivity; Field2Base handles everything with just a single touch of the "send" button. We also have a unique alert system that notifies anyone receiving a communication that they have important information that needs to be addressed."
