Enterprise mobility is reaching into ever more diverse markets, and together with Northgate Information Systems, TBS is helping homeowners understand and improve the energy performance of their property, by providing Domestic Energy Assessors with the very latest technology in handheld PDAs and mobile technology.

Northgate Information Systems is a leading provider of innovative services to the public sector, and they are now using TBS Taskmaster to enable Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) to carry out the energy performance surveys and certification used in Home Information Packs, all via handheld PDAs. The assessments allow homeowners to gain a clear understanding of the energy performance of their property, identify where consumption is at its most wasteful and any areas for potential efficiency gains.

The benefits of the mobile service include:

• Less reliance on paper and the eradication of the potential for delays and errors
• Acceleration of the calculation process through automated real time communications over a wireless network and a reduction in customer waiting time
• Greater efficiency through a reduction in communication costs and overheads through virtually instantaneous access to information
• A reduction in the carbon footprint and improved environmental performance through more efficient travel and the eradication of paper
