Mobile Builder vs DATS Mobile

Reduce your field data collection costs by improving data collection accuracy, decrease timelines for sharing field data, and adjust to changes in your existing enterprise as your business evolves. Why Trimble Forestry Mobile Builder? Simple! It has proven advantages over paper-based processes. Specifically, it reduces the need for data reconciliation; provides tighter control over harvest operations, inspections or surveys; and reduces data administration while improving data integrity from field to office. Mobile Builder allows forestry clients to mobilize spatial and tabular business processes allowing workers access to the enterprise on handheld platforms. Portable field collection applications can be easily created to closely match any enterprise business process. Mobile Builder validates the field data before it gets uploaded to the enterprise, and automates the data exchange process for you so you don’t have to. Administrators can quickly configure mobile forms for any type of business process that is better managed on the go and rapidly deploy to the user community. Mobile Builder can also integrate business processes directly with Trimble Forestry’s Land Resource Manager enterprise solution for improved accuracy and data validation. It means getting your Saturday’s back! Our premier hauling app - 4Loads™ is a mobile ticketing solution that simplifies the creation, access and sharing of harvested timber data for loggers, foresters and haulers. The solution provides forestry workers a simple way to enter and manage load data that eliminates manual tracking, provides instant access to the data online, and reduces time to summarize load financial information. Harvest operators enter load data on their mobile devices in the field, which automatically synchronizes with the Trimble Forestry cloud service for timely access to data via the Mobile Builder Website. Forestry stakeholders can log into the mobile site to view data, run reports and customize mobile form menus. 4Loads provides real-time access to harvest load data that historically has been captured via slower manual processes that can take weeks or months to produce data. This real-time insight into remote operations can shorten reconciliation cycles and provide clear load traceability. Key Benefits: Improve timber security.

DATS is a combination of a web application that is accessed through an internet connection and browser (DATS Web), and a smartphone/tablet app that runs independently of an internet connection (DATS Mobile). Together, they help you and your people do all the heavy lifting! Some important DATS Mobile features include: Notifications & Quick Checks – DATS Mobile allows you to opt-in to push notifications when important things happen in DATS that directly pertain to your account, and your responsibilities. Mobile Training Wallet – Your DATS Mobile account holds all of your training records so they can quickly be referenced should you ever need to produce them for a company representative, customer, or auditor. Training Verification – Use DATS Mobile to scan employee QR codes (possibly on hardhats or ID cards) to confirm their training and subsequent site and/or equipment access or permissions. Reference Materials – Even in the middle of nowhere you can reference important documentation like operators’ manuals or troubleshooting guides. To find documents you can either search the directory, or scan a QR code. Conduct Inspections – Initiate equipment or worksite inspections even when offline. Make things ever quicker by having QWR codes on each piece of equipment, scan it, and get started! Mobile Form Submission – Access any of your company forms and get them moving forward. If you are offline, DATS Mobile will store your records for you so they can be submitted and routed to the correct people once you rerun to connectivity. Company Directory – Access important company contact information that is always current. DATS Mobile confirms the people, and contact information is correct, every time you start-up the app.
