Unit 14 P5
The local delivery company could improve their efficiency a couple of examples are the drivers could have mobile phones with GPS technology so they could find faster and better routes to their destination which would save time so the driver did not have to return to the office. He could get messages between jobs, another way could be the employees saving work to laptops instead of paper work being lost, while if on the laptop it cannot be lost and the presentation would look better. Other examples are sending their work through email or uploading to a blog site such as Posterous and Facebook, and if the company had a restricted internet the employees would work efficient because they would not be distracted by un-useful websites, and if the driver had a mobile with internet access they would be able to recieve data through email or text. Mobile technology devices can also change the way the company does business newer technologies lead to new ways of working, and new products and services that can be offered to their customers. They can make the employees more efficent and creative and more valuable for their customers another example mobile technology allows people to use company data and resources without staying in a single location. Whenever their staff is travelling to meetings ect... mobile devices help keep in contact be productive and make use of the company resources.
Another device that the driver could use is a tablet (iPad) which can recieve emails and download files, also they have sat nav which can get faster routes to their destination, also they use them to get the customer to sign for their deliveries.
