JobOps Manufacturing - Data Collector Module

Data Collector quickly and accurately validates and imports both parts and labor transactions into JobOps. Wherever and however your data is collected, from the shop floor to the customer’s site, at a terminal or with handheld devices, Data Collector eliminates error-prone manual data entry.

  • An intuitive visual interface makes it easy to identify an invalid record and an edit function allows the user to correct the offending record.
  • Users of JobOps Field Service module will appreciate that Data Collector will correctly charge – or not charge – for parts and labor as prescribed by the customers’ service contract.

FEATURES

  • Single Import of Both Parts and Labor: A single import processes both parts and labor transactions, saving administrative time.
