RuggedPhones get rugged apps

Econz Wireless and RuggedPhones have partnered in an effort to provide businesses that operate in tough environments with a range of applications especially tailored to them.

Econz Wireless and RuggedPhones will be partnering to provide businesses operating in tough environments with a full set of relevant mobile applications, from employee tracking, to time and attendance and payroll integration.

‚”RuggedPhones offer some of the toughest smart phones available,‚” says Harry Lane, Vice President Global Channel Sales, Econz. ‚”Our suite of mobile apps will enable employers in environments like construction, manufacturing, distribution, and government to not only track their employees while in the field via GPS, but also to give them a full time and attendance record of who is on site and when. Fully integrated with their own accounting and payroll system, this gives employers accurate records in real time.‚”

Chris Hoffman of RuggedPhones says the partnership with Econz Wireless will provide businesses and organisations with an enterprise-class time and attendance system in the toughest conditions.

‚”The TITAN range of Android phones has ratings from IP-67 to IP-68 for the Titan 5R and 7R. IP-68 is the toughest rating that can be awarded to smartphones and means that the TITAN range will operate just about anywhere in wet or dry and dusty conditions.

“All Titan phones are full-featured smart phones/tablets, compliant with US military standard, MIL-STD-810G, which assesses the viability of a product across a broad range of environmental conditions. The addition of the Econz Wireless mobile time and attendance, employee tracking and payroll apps to our offerings is a great fit for our markets which need mobile apps under the toughest conditions.‚””

Lane adds: ‚””Our suite of apps has been developed to fit just about any smart phone, and the RuggedPhones Titan range opens up those verticals we know need access to employees whether outdoors or on the shop floor.

“”Industrial and service-driven organisations, such as traffic control, road building and repairs, construction and other field workers can now be tracked, clocked in and out, and movements accurately integrated to the accounting and payroll system.‚””
