Lucas Systems Introduces Mobile Engage 2.0, Smartphone-Based App Extends Jennifer VoicePlus
PITTSBURGH - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Lucas Systems, Inc., the largest independent provider of
voice-directed warehouse applications, today announced the
second-generation of Mobile Engage, a mobile application designed
to give warehouse managers real-time process updates via a Smartphone or
industrial PDA. Mobile Engage 2.0 extends the Web-based intelligence,
reporting and management alerts available in the Jennifer
VoicePlus System to managers using a Smartphone or PDA.
Mobile Engage is available as an add-on to existing Jennifer VoicePlus
voice picking systems.
Mobile Engage, first introduced in 2009, extends the Web-based
reporting, management and configuration tools of Jennifer's Engage
Management Service Console (MSC) to a mobile device using a standard
mobile Web browser, including iPhone and Android devices. With Mobile
Engage, warehouse managers can view work status across a DC, monitor
associate productivity, view and manage exceptions (shorts, etc.), and
access other management information and alerts available in the standard
Web-based Engage MSC.
"Mobile Engage allows supervisors and managers to get out on the
warehouse floor without losing touch with what's happening elsewhere in
the operation," says Chris Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Lucas
Systems. "For the past decade we have been adding more powerful
reporting and management tools to Jennifer, helping managers to better
plan and manage their operations through the Web-based Engage MSC.
Mobile Engage is a natural extension of this, pushing real-time business
intelligence to mobile devices. This seemingly small addition to an
existing voice directed warehouse system can drive big improvements in
management efficiency and effectiveness."
