TaskCaddy is a service-oriented enterprise resource level solution. It is particularly well suited to the SMB market with business components that allow organizations to incrementally deploy mobile solutions in a short timeframe and that deliver a rapid payback.

Specifically, TaskCaddy transmits the task assignment from the Web-based host server to the portable device (PDA), automatically, using existing public or broadband networks. It retrieves task-order information from the mobile in-field portable device and continuously returns information automatically, back to the server at the user’s main office or HQ.

This functionality provides these important functions:

• Instant job costing and reporting.
• Compare job performance with planned activity to determine worker productivity.
• Provide wireless communications between the field and HQ.
• Automate store and forwarding between the field and HQ.
• Automate messaging between and among personnel.
• Provide available workforce management reporting and analysis.
• Generate in-field receipt printing with signature capture.
• Provide a comprehensive inventory control module.
• Includes a security trap-door to prevent unauthorized access if PDA lost or stolen.
• Intelligent job assignment and smart job allocation.

TaskCaddy will contribute to improved customer service by providing project managers and field technicians with timely and systematic tasks structures for all projects, thereby assuring consistency in work output.

Cummings concluded, "QED will strengthen its support apparatus in the growing Canadian market and this is the continuation of a planned business expansion that will contribute greatly to the company’s well being."
