New property management tool introduced by dispatch suite. (Technology).

The power and productivity of wireless Internet communication through handheld devices is now available to property management companies with as few as 20 field staff with the enhanced version of DispatchSuite, introduced by JumpStart Wireless Corporation.

The JumpStart Wireless DispatchSuite is an innovative web-based dispatching and work order management application, providing real-time Internet communication with mobile workers using standard handheld wireless communication devices. DispatchSuite operates on the nation's largest wireless networks.

"Every day DispatchSuite puts field and dispatched workers of small and medium-size businesses in secure, instant and around-the-clock wireless communication with their offices and colleagues in the field. DispatchSuite V1.2 introduced today offers significantly enhanced functionality and features," said Dr. Jeffrey Bonar, President and CEO of JumpStart Wireless.

"Companies around the country are boosting their profitability by relying on DispatchSuite to enable their field staff to do more jobs each day, while eliminating paperwork and routine phone calls," said Dr. Bonar.

"We were able to improve our service to our clients and measurably increase the productivity of our property managers and field maintenance staff with DispatchSuite. Installation and training took a surprisingly short period of time," said Denise Moreau, controller of Garrison Square Management, a property management company in the Boston area.

Dr. Bonar, 46, has spent his career on the cutting edge of commercializing advanced software technologies. He received a doctorate in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts, and a Bachelor's Degree in Information Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz.

"Web-based DispatchSuite is affordable and easy to install and use by any property management firm with a PC, Internet access, and an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer 5.0. DispatchSuite works with a range of wireless devices and carriers. With DispatchSuite, smaller businesses can achieve levels of field force productivity enjoyed by such giant users of wireless business applications as Sears, FedEx and UPS," said Dr. Bonar.

Head office staff enter new maintenance and repair jobs into work-order management web screens. That work-order information--location, problem description, contact name, for example--is immediately routed to field staff as business forms on the screens of their handheld devices. As field staff dot heir work, they enter information into those forms on their devices which immediately send job start and stop times, work completed, parts used, billing and other relevant information back to the head office.

For less than $1 per day per user, with no set up charges, companies can use DispatchSuite to improve field force productivity.

"DispatchSuite pays for itself, usually in a few days, through increased field staff productivity, eliminated paperwork, and improved head office efficiency," said Dr. Bonar.
