City of Cincinnati Improves Efficiency and Cuts Costs with Flowfinity Mobile Field Service Solution

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Nov. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- VANCOUVER, BC - Flowfinity Wireless Inc., a proven provider of enterprise mobile apps (http://www.flowfinity.com/), today released a new case study that describes how the City of Cincinnati has implemented Flowfinity software to manage and track the activities of its 150 field technicians. Flowfinity provided a flexible mobile platform that enabled the city to create guided field service apps (http://www.flowfinity.com/solutions/field-service-management.aspx) to replace paper forms and laptops in the field.

The city's Wastewater Collection Division was looking to address the challenges of missing and inaccurate information gathered in the field, issues with usability of legacy software applications, and the difficulty with efficiently staffing a 24-hour call center to handle customer service requests. With Flowfinity, the division has realized over $150,000 of savings and expects to reduce administrative tasks by 30% to achieve more value for labor dollars spent.

Flowfinity was selected for its depth of functionality to meet all of the city's requirements for security, automating workflows, capturing data, and creating and modifying apps without programming. The ability for the business unit to easily create or modify apps with limited IT involvement was an important requirement because business processes can change often due to government and permit regulations.

"At the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati, we are looking at how we can leverage technology to create efficient processes, improve customer service and provide better value to our customers,” said Mike Pittinger, Wastewater Collection Superintendent.  “Flowfinity guides our employees through complex situations in a simple step by step process. It ensures that they capture critical information and take appropriate action, which allows us to better manage our teams and assets and provide enhanced customer service.”
