EMCOR Facilities Services has been working in collaboration with COINS in the US to develop an application for wireless mobile devices. Called Mobile Technician, it provides field service personnel with timely access to critical visit, site, equipment, and tasking data. Mobile Technician allows them to capture all completed work on the device and transmits information about the visit to the back office for real time status updates.

Field trials have just been completed, with a company-wide roll-out planned by end 2008. EMCOR will benefit from quicker and more accurate billing, better information to customers about work in progress, and increased productivity and more efficient processing of billings and payroll in the back office.

COINS is also working in development partnership with EMCOR to develop fully functional Purchase Card Processing - Pcard. EMCOR intends to use Pcards to replace the issuing of orders for material purchases by field staff from selected vendors. Field staff will be able to swipe the card to pay for their purchases; this pays the vendor and imports the transaction into COINS.
