Pocket Plutos
Connectivity across the enterprise is essential for maximum efficiency and performance. That’s why every Apollo engineer is equipped with a Pocket Pluto, a handheld PDA that gives permanent access to the Service Management System. Over a fast, secure connection they can:
  Receive full call details on screen
  Update call progress
  Clear down calls
  Access special instructions
  Prioritise and plan call outs and service visits more easily
  Check lift histories
  Cross reference call fault reports
  Access service schedules
  Input service visit details
  Receive automatic service reminders
  Receive SMS text alerts/messages from helpdesk

This means that the call out desk can focus on incoming client calls and client liaison while the engineers have everything they need information-wise delivered straight to the screen in front of them.

Such an arrangement allows the helpdesk to take more customer calls more quickly and respond in a timely manner to customer queries. They can also take a far more proactive approach to call allocation and management, ensuring that engineers attend and complete jobs as time efficiently as possible. Overall, clients enjoy better access to operators, a more efficient call handling service and a more dynamic performance in the field.
