For many social housing organizations the biggest management challenge for 2010 is to seek out operational efficiencies particularly in front line maintenance.

Mobilizing the workforce by interfacing smartphones with job allocation and reporting systems such as OnSite and Kirona is the first step in maximizing their efficiency.

But operations staffs are reporting that devices get broken, often dropped in water, leaving the workforce out of contact and unable to connect to management systems.

There is an evident requirement to provide a totally ruggedized smartphone and to give helpdesk staff the software to manage these devices. As one housing executive put it, “We have staff spread over a big area and we want to minimize their returns to base as a result of faulty handsets”
