Skymira, a leading provider of state-of-the-art satellite and cellular technology solutions for the seamless management of remote operations, today announced that it has expanded its popular Electronic Forms service, delivering significant value through several new industry applications. The expanded Electronic Forms service addresses specific applications across several markets including maritime, oil and gas and construction. By providing easy and rapid real-time access to information from personnel in remote locations, Skymira is speeding up the flow of time sensitive information. This lets companies realize significant improvements in their daily performance in a variety of ways.
Robert Landsfield, CEO of Skymira said that the Paper-based forms trap information - making that information hard to get to, difficult to use by others and taking literally days to become useful in a company’s operations.
"Electronic forms unlock this information, connecting it to the enterprise in real-time where incredible efficiencies are realized," Landsfield said. "Our customers are able to make better decisions, free up resources and significantly increase their bottom-line."
In the maritime industry, Skymira’s Electronic Forms offering can transform a paper grocery order form into a tailored electronic form that can be dynamically updated across an entire fleet – offering the ability to revise items and prices, track budgets and automatically enforce spending limits. Skymira also now offers an Electronic Forms solution aimed at the latest EPA VGA regulations, making it much easier for tug and barge fleets to comply with cumbersome record keeping requirements.
In the oil and gas and construction industries, Skymira offers tailored work orders and inventory management, combining these two requirements into one powerful management tool.
Unique to Skymira’s Electronic Forms is the solution’s ability to convert the client’s existing paper forms into identical electronic forms - translating into ease of use, minimal training and rapid adoption.
Electronic Forms can be viewed and downloaded via secure website or the data can be imported into existing databases. Since only the entered data is sent, and not the form itself, the information is cost effectively transmitted via satellite or cellular networks. Work orders, pick-up and delivery tickets, driver logs, hazmat declarations and safety reports are only a few examples of the paperwork that can be transformed into Electronic Forms and transmitted to the office in real-time.
