On The Go Needs
White Rodgers has hundreds of thousands of installations spread nationwide. A company with such a vast network of customers and clients needed a swift solution for the maintenance and repair needs of their clients. For this White Rodgers required a mobile product catalogue and support manuals in an android based solution so that it could equip its field reps to diagnose and resolve issues. They also wanted their staff to have access to a spare parts catalogue on the go so that replacements could be easily recommended and quoted to customers for their appliances right at their own doorstep.
The Ephlux Solution
Ephlux acknowledged White Rodgers’ need for a mobile platform to aid its field representatives, and got together with our local partner E-Merge, to analyze and design a robust Android app. This app was to work seamlessly with the web services framework of White Rodgers’ back end ERP systems. White Rodgers was provided an initial mockup to finalize the functional and user experience aspects of the app. Ephlux went on to develop and deploy an android app for White Rodgers that utilized standard web-service technologies in order to connect with the web-service framework. Ephlux also integrated a workflow to orchestrate a support and sales ticket business process that connected the android app with the backend BPM system via web services.
