The Mobile Data Capture Solutions: the First Steps to Digitalisation
Mobile data capture (MDC) lets you capture values, facts and figures when you’re away from your workstation. Record data where it’s generated: in the warehouse when carrying out an inventory, managing item lists, when checking property cleaning, on construction sites for time recording and much more. Great mobile data capture solutions come in the form an app, the best come in the form of a custom app.
With custom mobile data capture apps, the possibilities are endless. You can capture all kinds of data from operations, customers, time, maintenance, check and control and quality control- all captured easily and digitally. Get creative!

Working with paper forms is no fun. Thanks to the offline-capable, intuitive and individually adaptable apps, a high level of acceptance was quickly established among technical colleagues.
The integration of smapOne into our SAP and ticket system was easy and very fast. I've never seen such extensive REST API documentation. The cooperation with the technical consultants was excellent and very reliable.
With smapOne we have created around 30 checklists, really simply and with a very fast turnaround. This means we’ve not only increased our effectiveness, but also evaluate data better and even save on costs.
With smapOne there are no limits to flexibility. That was exactly what we were looking for.
We have been using smapOne for quite some time already for communications between our office staff and the field sales team. With regard to the coronavirus crisis, we have now been able to create more apps, which, for example, have helped us with time recording whilst working from home and with the paperless and contactless management of delivery notes. It’s great that we can all create apps according to our needs.
