Tampa based Actsoft, Inc. has nothing but a good story to tell. As one of the world’s
most respected developers of Mobile Resource Management software, the company is
thriving by consistently meeting the ever-changing needs of today’s wireless industry.
Cemented by a concrete commitment to unparalleled customer service, their software
has the lowest cancellation rate of any in the industry.
Ten years ago the company incorporated. Today they employ 110 personnel across the
nation and can boast more than $12 million in annual sales. Since 1999, Actsoft’s
software solutions have evolved from simple courier software to a very specialized,
easy-to-use combination of wireless and
GPS technology that provides an incredible
array of data collection and management tools, tailored to virtually every industry
with workers in the field.
Location Based Services (LBS) is a new “buzz-word” in the industry. In essence,
LBS turns mobile worker’s cell phones into remote data collection and validation
tools. Using real-time information, it enables businesses to route employees more
efficiently, wirelessly dispatch assignments to workers and allows management to
see instantly where everyone and everything is located. School districts use it
for route management of buses, the health care industry uses it to wirelessly assign
patient assignments to case managers, and construction companies use it to keep
track of very valuable assets on job sites.
“It’s a good time to be such a strong player in this industry because in today’s
competitive environment, all businesses need to manage their assets smarter. It’s
important to stay on the cutting edge. For our part, we continue to pay our dues
in the research and development arena, and believe it will pay off for years to
come.”
states Tom Mitchell – Founder and CEO.
There are as many uses for Actsoft’s solutions as there are opportunities. To enhance
security, their application was used to track His Excellency, the Pope, in April
of 2008. Ironically, the company also carries a product that tracks convicts. Recently,
a CSI Miami episode featured their House Arrest Solution (HAS) ankle bracelet. Just
last week, Hollywood called to ask if they could use Actsoft’s HAS bracelets in
yet another movie currently under production. With prison overcrowding hitting the
forefront of national news, Actsoft’s House Arrest Solution is very relevant.
The true value of Actsoft’s software is that it emphasizes accountability, which
enhances efficiency and customer service, giving businesses a competitive edge in
their industry. It saves money. And who doesn’t need more of that?
