July 10, 2006—Corrigo, the leading provider of on-demand service management solutions, and Baracoda, the leading manufacturer of Bluetooth wireless barcode scanners, have teamed together to provide mobile service workers with the tools for an in-the-field inventory management and data capture solution.
Mobile service technicians using Corrigo’s wireless, Web-based maintenance management software, Baracoda RoadRunners scanner, and a Bluetooth-enabled wireless device (smartphone, PDA/personal communicator) will be able to scan part numbers, equipment serial numbers and other bar-coded materials quickly and accurately making it easier to do inventory management in the field.
Corrigo users will be able to scan a bar code to populate a selected data field in one of Corrigo’s work order screens that appears on their wireless devices by pushing one button on the Baracoda RoadRunners scanner. In addition to scanning parts for inventory, users can add serial numbers to information already in the database, such as an existing piece of equipment. Using bar code scanning will save time, eliminate transcription errors and ensure consistency of data, the companies say.
