pdvConnect’s mobile app is a key component of its easy to use, productivity solution for locating, communicating and managing mobile teams easily. With this free application, users with a current paid license for pdvConnect can easily interact with the pdvConnect.com cloud portal.

Current pdvConnect customers can use the app to record completed jobs, time card punches, preexisting damage, overages or exceptions such as COD problems and customers not home quickly and easily. Events are captured and sent in seconds with important details such as a pre-defined subject, time and date, photos, audio, and GPS-based location. Drivers also use the customized, paperless forms and signature capture to speed up their daily procedures.

Working in conjunction with the application is the pdvConnect.com cloud-based portal, purchased separately, which gives office workers full visibility of the drivers’ locations and activities throughout the day. They can locate mobile workers, view incoming messages regarding events on a map, or send a text message to mobile workers with next job details. All events/messages are archived for review and reporting to mitigate potential disputes, document additional charges and raise company standards for productivity and cost saving. From the map view, dispatchers can locate a driver closest to a critical job or if another worker needs a part. Mangers can set up geofences for each worker and receive alerts based on customer visits or workers entering and leaving their assigned area. When drivers use paperless forms, it streamlines the process for getting forms filled out in the field and back to the office.
