data collection include the use of paper forms, notebooks, photographs and
dictaphones, all of which require varying degrees of manual entry and re-
keying back at the office.

The Solution – CommonTime MEAP

Combining mobile application development tools, industry leading security,
centralised administration and remote support, the CommonTime MEAP
(Mobile Enterprise Application Platform) provides the complete solution to
any mobile working requirement for the Housing Sector.

Key Business Benefits
Benefits found when implementing mobile applications within the Housing
Sector include:

•	   Improved productivity
•	   Vast reductions in required administration time
•	   Increased data accuracy
•	   Improved communications
•	   Increased worker satisfaction
•	   Vastly improved efficiency
The Results

By mobilising paper based processes and securely integrating these into core back office systems,
CommonTime’s solutions can be used to capture your data accurately and efficiently across. Mobile
applications can utilise full device functionality such as image and video capture, voice recording and GPS data,
removing the need for separate recording devices. All this information can then be instantly synchronised to
the relevant databases, removing the need to rekey data. Where necessary, back office systems can be searched
for information and this can be seamlessly integrated into the data capture process.

Typical Mobile Processes for the Housing Sector

CommonTime’s mobile application software can be used to support a wide variety of processes for the Housing
Sector including:

•	   Asset inspection
•	   Building integrity inspection
•	   Gas & electric compliance reporting
•	   Housing repair reporting
•	   Rent & arrears management
•	   Spot checks
•	   Timesheet reporting
•	   Van stock management/inventory
                                                                           Hover over to enlarge
An example: Our Housing Inspection Application

                     Working closely with Housing organisations, CommonTime has developed an application to
                     streamline the housing inspection process. It addresses the issues associated with traditional
                     housing stock inspection procedures to increase field worker productivity, ultimately
                     reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

                     Inspectors are equipped with mobile handsets. Any number of surveys or questionnaires can
                     be set up and made available to view and complete on the device. All information required
                     in the inspection is collected electronically with any required photographs, annotations or
                     authentication captured and appended to the electronic form. Once complete, the survey is
                     synchronised to a back office system, instantly securing all data. No paperwork or separate
                     evidence is required, reducing the time and money spent on returning forms and helping
                     lower your organisation’s carbon footprint.

This is just one example of an application that can be built quickly and easily using CommonTime mDesign
Studio, our rapid application development tool. Working across a variety of device types and operating
systems, our solution allows users to have as many applications as they require, allowing the mobilisation of
any business process and increasing efficiency across the board.
