Goodwins of Lincolnshire are the latest company to order Move Administer, as well as Survey Administer!
Currenltly using Remstar, a 2 user Move Administer system complete with the Shipping Administer and Survey Administer modules are scheduled for installation before the end of the month.
Goodwins of Lincolnshire join an every growing list of Remstar converts, with more to follow!
With newer, faster, smaller, more adventurous UMPC’s (Ultra-Mobile PC) coming on the market today with greater screen resolutions and more gizmos at your fingertips, we’re proud to announce that Survey Administer is now compatible with such devices.
We recently purchase two UMPC’s, the Sony Vaio VGN-UX1XN and the Samsung Q1 Ultra. Both cost around the £750 mark, but you will find some good deals if you shop around the internet.
Samsung Q1 Ultra
Pre-installed with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition, the Samsung come with its own QWERTY keyboard which is split into two, which is difficult at first but easily masters, although don’t ever think that you will touch type on it! The 7-inch touch screen is incredibly bright and clear, and easy to read. Powering the Samsung is an Intel A110 low-voltage processor. Memory is a decent 1024MB.
Also built into this Samsung are twin cameras, one at the front and the other at the rear, so you can take 1.3 mega pixel photographs or use it for video conferencing. There is Bluetooth, Wi-fi, and an SD card reader.
Sony Vaio VGN-UX1XN
Pre-installed with Microsoft Vista the Sony weighs in at an incredible 480g! The 4.5-inch touch screen display shows off incredible detail, and the zoom controls allow you to zoom in and out where necessary. Hidden away is a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the touch screen. Powering the Sony is an Intel Core Solo U1500 (1.33GHZ) processor, that runs at an ultra-low voltage. The Sony comes with 1024MB of memory and a Solid State Disk (SSD) with 32GB of Flash memory on-board, with means there are no moving parts in this device, allowing battery life to be more efficient.
Also built into this Sony is a 1.3 mega pixel camera, which can be used as a still or movie camera, or simply a web cam. There is Bluetooth, Wi-fi and a MemoryStick Pro slot, and a fingerprint scanner to help keep things secure.
Flybook V33i
On a separate note, Tablet PC’s are becoming smaller and more lightweight, and one that we have recently purchased to play with is the Flybook V33i, with 3.5G mobile connection. With a price of around £1,000 its more expensive than UMPC’s, but it really does depend on what you’re after at the end of the day.
The Flybook, which is A5 in size, comes with an 8.9-inch 16:9 high resolution touch screen LCD, 1024MB memory, 40GB hard drive and is powered by an Intel Pentium Mobility (1.1GHZ) processor. This is a really slick and stylish Tablet, and comes in various colours too!
I am pleased to announce the release of Survey Administer, a surveying and sales system designed specifically for the Tablet PC.
The aim of Survey Administer is to replace the folder that most surveyors take with them during their surveys, whether they use it to record specific notes about the property, customer requirements, a full inventory of items, or even just as a sales presentation aid. Survey Administer does all of this and much more!
At the time of publishing, Survey Administer is currently in use at: David Dale Removals, Banburys Removals, Britannia Sandersteads of Surrey, Britannia Bradshaw International.
