British mobile solutions provider, TBS Enterprise Mobility (TBS), has unveiled an integrated workforce mobility offering for the South African market, after partnering with local engineering information solutions company Powertech IST Data.
Powertech IST Data plans to broaden its mobile workforce management footprint by extending workforce management-related services to field service, energy, fleet, facilities and asset management areas.
“While we will continue with our existing mobile workforce management solutions, the opportunity to expand our services and offer clients the technological proficiency associated with TBS' TaskMaster product range is an exciting one,” said Francois Marais, Business Development executive at Powertech IST Data. “The technology is one of the easiest to configure and deploy and will result in significantly reduced cost and implementation times.”

TaskMaster is a sophisticated enterprise mobility suite designed to eliminate inefficiencies and drive consistent business process through the rapid exchange of data between field workers and their headquarters.
Flexible configuration settings enable the convergence of multiple automated processes: from delivery confirmation - stamps capturing signature, time, date and GPS location; to inspection procedures - on-device tagging of vehicle damage; asset tracking and workforce activity monitoring. In addition to reducing costs and facilitating workflow, TaskMaster enables the customer to craft advanced individual processes which are unique to their business and contains a range of modules or applications which are supported by the TBS TaskMaster environment.
“Field mobility has been an area of our product set that we have been looking to strengthen, so this partnership comes at a great time,” says Marais. “TaskMaster enables us to offer a comprehensive end-to-end solution, which maximises our customers' investment.”
“The partnership with Powertech IST Data gives us a greater level of access and local expertise in South Africa,” says Jon Poynton, Commercial Director of TBS. “Powertech IST Data's 15-year African and Middle East servicing record, extensive supply network and engineering expertise make them ideally suited to marketing and distributing our programmes in the region.”
