DecisionPoint offers a variety of solutions to easily manage and control mobile devices through our MobileCare™ Device Provisioning services.  One of the options is to limit or block calls on devices so employees can only make calls to specific numbers while on the job.  These settings will also be locked down to prevent employees from tampering with the blocked numbers.  This service still allows employees to make calls to selected and approved numbers such as dispatch and emergency numbers, but ensures they stay focused on what matters most—your customers.  This easily increases productivity and reduces phone expenses.  You’re in control.

If you’d like to protect your productivity you can read our Dec. 3rd post to learn more about the solutions DecisionPoint provides to configure mobile devices to your settings and prevent unauthorized device usage.

If your field workers require a larger display than their current mobile device offers, but still need something that’s easy to work with while on-the-go, you might be interested in combining the REDFLY Mobile Companion with your existing devices.  REDFLY is a large screen and keyboard that links to mobile devices via a USB cable or wireless Bluetooth™.  Essentially REDFLY is a smartphone terminal with no OS, no CPU and no storage that allows you to use your smartphone like a laptop.  The REDFLY Mobile Companion is a compact device yet it still provides a full size keyboard and your choice of two display sizes-7 inch or 8 inch.  REDFLY doesn’t require an additional data plan so it’s a great low cost option to combine with any Windows Mobile device.

A cleanroom is any environment that must be free of nearly all particulate matter.  Due to this rigorous standard, cleanroom environments such as biotechnical labs require special bar code labels.  DecisionPoint provides a wide variety of cleanroom media solutions that minimize the amount of particles and contamination that can threaten your cleanroom environment, including:

• Tags designed for applications where there is zero tolerance for out-gassing from adhesive residue
• Removable labels that leave little to no residue when removed
• Ultra-low leachable labels
• Permanent labels designed to adhere to low surface energy substrates
• Ultra-removable labels

DecisionPoint offers a wide variety of printing media and supplies, so if you’re looking for something outside of the cleanroom you can visit our Consumables page.
