One of the many useful forms in the simPRO Mobile platform is the e-mail/scratch pad.
This form was designed as a tool for users to record additional notes from a job, document diagrams (floor layout, wiring diagrams from site etc) and record notes and sketches from meetings
Many simPRO Digital Pen users have also told us they use it a lot for quoting as it gives them a chance to record notes & sketches on site and have that delivered instantly back to the office either for an estimator to immediately begin to quote or simply so they don’t lose the notes that they used to write on a scrap of paper (and often lost).
Regardless of the way that you use the e-mail/scratch pad in your business, we have just made a major change to make it even more useful. Now when you send an e-mail from your Digital Pen and choose a recipient from the pre-configured numbered boxes, the handwritten information is converted via the handwriting recognition engine and included in the body of the e-mail. That text can then be copied & pasted into any other documents that you wish, such as into:
- Quotes
- Calendars
- Meeting meetings
- Reports, etc
