Cortex Software makes FieldCenter, software for creating customizable PDA forms for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile handhelds. How to contact us.

FieldCenter is a software solution that makes it easy for organizations to replace inefficient paper-based data collection media, such as forms and reports, with more efficient mobile technology-based business processes using devices such as handheld PDAs and SmartPhones.

Mobile Applications, Simplified

With FieldCenter, mobile initiatives are made simple by eliminating the need for custom software development or internet infrastructure. The FieldCenter platform enables everyday field staff managers or administrators to build and deploy dynamic forms for PDAs in minutes from within their web browser.

Mobile forms data synchronization is simple and secure.

Online or Offline Use

Field staff can utilize FieldCenter's mobile forms on PDAs via the FieldCenter Smart Client software, which presents the forms in an innovative user-friendly display. It enables field users to work either online or offline, performing data collection tasks in a wide variety of business functions in nearly any industry.

Secure

Collected data can be securely transmitted via internet (wirelessly or cradled) to the central database, where managers or administrators can review data or generate reports from within their web browser. Data is stored using 128bit RSA encryption, transmitted over the internet using 128bit SSL, and applications are password protected.

No Programming

Some of the standard fields available for building forms include:

  • Text
  • Numeric
  • Yes/No
  • Multiple Choice
  • Date Select
  • Date Stamp
  • Signature Capture
  • Digital Photo Capture
  • Video Capture
  • GPS Location Stamp
  • Barcode Scan
  • RFID Scan
  • Magnetic Card Swipe
  • Mapping (GIS)

Real-Time Reporting

FieldCenter's web-based dashboard provides tools to work with collected data. It provides tools to view forms, analyze data, generate reports, and download data in a number of standard formats such as XML or Microsoft Excel (XLS).

Guaranteed-Delivery Data Sync

Even in areas of bad network coverage, communication errors will not affect your data. Data will always be delivered from a handheld PDA to the server, intact.

Over-The-Air Deployment and Update

FieldCenter Smart Client keeps itself up-to-date with the most recent version, without any configuration by the user.

Mobile Data Safety

Data safety is top priority, so FieldCenter Smart Client provides comprehensive backup and restore capability on mobile devices. For example, data can be regularly backed up to memory cards such as SD and miniSD.
