A job tracking and authentication solution that promises significant productivity gains in the personal and household service sector
Paris, France - Prylos, the specialist in professional mobile software developed for BlackBerry® smartphones, and a member of the BlackBerry® Alliance Program, today announced the availability of Y-Dom, a dedicated personal and household services application.
Y-Dom application for BlackBerry smartphones provides real-time tracking and authentication of job assignments performed by employees. Work order dispatching and scheduling, service call reports, alerts and timesheets are all handled on the employee’s BlackBerry smartphone, which is connected up to the company’s central information system via a wireless carrier network. Y-Dom also delivers real-time feedback to a central database. As a result, service workers spend much less time traveling back and forth to retrieve orders.
Best of all, the software does away with hardcopy timesheets, which were previously handled in two stages and required two signatures, so that processing, monitoring labor costs and invoicing takes less time and effort.
With 6 million* households in France interested and 2 million individuals already employing outside help, personal and household services are a booming business, with the sector boasting the highest job-creation rate over the past few years. The areas involved range from housekeeping and childcare to help with schoolwork and care for the elderly.
The rapid growth of this sector, combined with the need for professionals to upgrade their service offers and optimize their costs, led Prylos to develop the Y-Dom mobile application.
