My client is looking for a tracking based system based on a bar code.
The basic concept is this:
1) The technician carries a PDA or smartphone (unsure which platform as yet - please specify if this has implications)
2) They "clock-in" to their site visit, say at 12pm, by scanning a barcode at the site. Therefore we need a facility to print barcodes, assign them to a particular site, then be able to read data from it).
3) They do their work and "clock-out" of the site again by scanning the site barcode.
They repeat steps 3 and 4 until their working day is over and they return back to HQ. Here they upload all the readings (that is the clock-in's and outs) to a management system where the management information such as how much time the technician has spent at a particular site on a particular date or how much time the technician spent at sites x y and z today.
At the moment we have none of the facilities listed above, your bid will therefore include an end-to-end solution to achieve the objective.
Regards, Ferrino
