Vangard Voice Systems, the innovator of AccuSpeech Mobile voice technology, announced the availability of AccuSpeechMobile for Field Force Automation (FFA) , which it bills as the first reliable and affordable voice-enablement platform for upgrading new and existing mobile field service applications with fast, accurate, and intuitive voice-directed data collection and navigation controls.

AccuSpeechMobile/FFA’s mobile device-resident, server-independent, voice-enabling technology adds comprehensive hands-free voice-directed commands to existing field service applications, achieving incremental productivity gains of 30 percent or more compared to slower data entry and navigation.

Vangard describes its AccuSpeechMobile/FFA as an affordable voice-enablement platform that provides all the tools and technology to quickly voice-upgrade new and existing wireless, wired, or “store and forward” field service applications at an average daily cost of $1.25, or less per/mobile worker.

According to the company, a productivity driven return on investment can be achieved in just weeks. For field service IT operations, AccuSpeechMobile/FFA’s cost of ownership is a fraction of older, costly and functionally-limited, server-dependent solutions typically employed in functionally limited warehouse and CRM applications.

“Until now the field services market has had little confidence in costly server-dependent voice solutions, incapable of empowering the mobile worker to voice-collect and transact, ‘heavy field service data’ at the point of service,” said Bob Bova, president and CEO of Vangard Voice Systems. “Now, completely un-tethered from server-dependencies, AccuSpeechMobile/FFA’s device-driven voice technology offers a reliable, affordable, fully functional voice solution for the field services market. Now IT organizations can easily leverage hands-free voice capabilities to substantially improve field service productivity, service, and reduce costs in asset management, dispatch, delivery, ticket management, mobile inspections, maintenance, repair, inventory, location-based GPS, and other field operations.”
