Agvance Inform vs Simon FM

Agvance Inform is part of the Agvance Dispatch suite of products and equips sales staff and other mobile users with real-time access to application status and job progress. Users can access pending jobs, view applicator schedules and receive push notifications as updates occur. Jobs can also be viewed on a map so sales staff can relay in-field progress to their customers. Inform users can also set work orders to “Ready” status so those jobs are available for the Dispatcher to assign. Additional capabilities allow crop chemistry for a field to be identified and marked on the map so applicators using the Apply app are made aware of those situations.

The Simon FM mobile app is intended to be used in conjunction with the Simon FM web application. After using the web application to setup your facility, machines, and job plans, the Simon FM mobile app will allow your technicians to perform the maintenance inspections that are associated with those job plans. Since Simon FM only requires internet connection when syncing, the technician will be able to pull down their inspections/work orders before heading out to any/all remote areas. While not connected to the internet, the technician will still be able to perform the inspection, record data, and complete the inspection. After they regain internet connectivity, they can then sync their data back up to the server, thus fully closing out the inspection. In addition, the app offers bar code scanning of machine labels, thus ensuring the correct machine for the inspection has been found.
