ikeGPS Announces Integration With ProntoForms
- Joint solution improves mobile workforce productivity across numerous
industries -
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS (NZX:IKE) announces that its smart laser
measurement solution, Spike, is now integrated with cloud-based mobile forms
software from ProntoForms (TSXV:PFM), the leading provider of mobile data
collection and analytics platforms for enterprises and small- to medium-size
businesses.
ProntoForms serves more than 55,000 subscribers and 3,500 customers in a wide
range of industries. Additionally, ProntoForms has strategic partnerships
with some of the mobility industry's leading brands, including Apple, Google,
AT&T, HP, Samsung and Unilever.
ProntoForms users can now attach a Spike device to their iOS smartphone or
tablet to easily capture area and linear measurements and have the data
automatically embed into their mobile forms and take advantage of all the
output and connectivity capabilities that the ProntoForms solution offers.
This makes it easy for remote workers to quickly complete and submit detailed
customer estimates, work orders and property inspection reports directly from
the field.
Users can collect as many measurements as required and add other necessary
information, such as estimated costs and customer signatures. Completed
forms, including all photos and measurements, can be submitted in real time
to customers as PDFs and back-office systems with just the touch of a button.
"ProntoForms has thousands of end users who measure something every day,
typically by using a traditional tape measure and ladder," says Jeff Ross,
senior vice president of new market development at ikeGPS. "This new
integration will enable ProntoForms customers to dramatically reduce the time
it takes to measure homes, office buildings, structures and other objects."
"The integration between ProntoForms and Spike from ikeGPS demonstrates early
success of our new partner and integration strategy with a market leader,"
says Mansell Nelson, senior vice president of business development at
ProntoForms. "We're the recognized leader in the North American mobile forms
market, which has an estimated 42 million subscribers, and believe that our
partnership strategy, alongside our direct and channels sales, will help
accelerate our market share growth through connected and embedded solutions."
