Mobile Workforce Management, Scheduling, and Dispatch
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 adds a new, improved map-based dispatching utility to ViryaNet's already-powerful Mobile Workforce Management application. Users can now graphically see both the location of the task and the locations of the closest field engineers on a map, and with the use of drag and drop, can assign a task to an engineer. Many useful features, such as a dispatch board monitor, ability to modify the assignment duration of a task, and a mouse right-click menu to dispatch or reassign tasks have also been added in this newest release. ViryaNet Service Hub 8 also includes the automatic or manual scheduling and dispatching of field engineers who work in crews. Another important enhancement is the ability now to run Service Scheduler, the Company's advanced algorithmic scheduling optimizer, in a simulated mode. With this enhancement, the supervisor or dispatcher can simulate various scenarios, analyze the results and then decide whether to accept the preferred mode.
Mobile Computing Platform
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 enhances ViryaNet's Mobile Computing platform with a complete messaging system that facilitates communication between the mobile worker and the dispatch center or headquarters. Another enhancement to the Mobile Computing Platform is the Auto-Connect feature, which automatically connects and disconnects the mobile device to the network and saves the user the effort of dial-up or manually making a connection.
eStock
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 introduces eStock, a sophisticated Supply Chain Management application built for the Internet, to manage the necessary functions of shipping and receiving based on the part request mechanism. eStock automates the processing of part requests among warehouse, supplier, customer site, and field engineer's van, through all phases of allocation, picking, shipping, receiving, stock views, stock movements, and adjustments.
Support for Application Service Providers (ASP)
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 now lets an ASP centrally deploy, host, and manage multiple service companies using a single instance of Service Hub. An ASP, such as ViryaNet's partner Mobile Field Engineering of Dallas, TX (
www.fielddispatch.com) can offer small service companies access to the full suite of ViryaNet Service Hub functionality with minimum up-front investment and a speedy implementation.
Web Services
ViryaNet's Integration Server, an integral component of ViryaNet Service Hub, which allows customers to tie together their existing systems, has been extended and enhanced in the Service Hub 8 release to support Web services. ViryaNet Service Hub 8 includes a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Services Adaptor and a SOAP Services Conduit to allow an organization to capitalize on the vast information available over the Internet using Web services.
User-Defined Queries (UDQ)
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 also includes many usability, security, and integration enhancements for user-defined queries and reporting. By using ViryaNet's user-defined queries, customers now have the ability to configure the search criteria, filter the fields, provide sophisticated sort options, and retrieve the search results as well as build an Excel worksheet based on the requested search results data.
Pricing and Availability
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 pricing is based on the number of users and functionality deployed, enabling significant ROI for organizations of varying sizes. ViryaNet Service Hub 8 is immediately available for general distribution and implementation.
Tried and Proven Application
ViryaNet Service Hub 8 is the newest and latest release of the proven ViryaNet Service Hub platform, originally made available in March 2000 and installed at numerous customer sites in a range of industries, including utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, building services, and retail. Continued evidence of the industry acceptance of ViryaNet Service Hub is the purchase or upgrade of ViryaNet Service Hub 8 in the second quarter of 2003 for deployment at several customer sites, in the United States, Europe and Japan.
