Paris, 08 October 2015:  Today at the Mobility for Business trade fair, GEOCONCEPT SAS, the leading designer of geographical optimization technologies for professionals, is announcing the launch of Opti-Time Mobile 2.2, the new version of the mobile application of the Opti-Time geo-optimized scheduling suite.

Available on smart phones and tablets (Android, iOS, Windows Phone), the application enables each mobile resource to consult, in the field, online and offline, his or her diary information and to communicate in real time with the system: viewing appointments, posting and sending reports with multimedia content (photo, signature…), cartographic location, checking  contact details, search around function, timestamping calls...


Scheduling appointments directly from the ground and access to enhanced content

In addition to uploading information (timestamping an appointment, sending a report…), delivery staff, mobile technicians and field sales staff can now request the scheduling of an appointment from the field and capture the associated characteristics (date,  start and end time, appointment type, description...).  Moreover, when a customer is absent or cancels the appointment at the last-minute, the user can ask the application for an immediate alternative appointment.

To enable users to take full advantage of the performance of their field schedule optimization solution, Opti-Time Mobile version 2.2 boasts new features, including:

  • An enhanced appointment form: the task list is displayed as well as the associated appointment details;
  • For a more helpful timetable, the user can consult his schedule for the next 31 days, showing day by day detail and anticipated unavailability;
  • The round is now displayed on a map for a better overview of the day;
  • The list of the 10 nearest sites to a selected site is automatically displayed on the map;
  • Opti-Time Mobile adapts to the user's navigation habits, with the user free to choose which cartographic service to display (Geoconcept, Google Maps or Waze);
  • The Private Life mode enables the mobile terminal's geolocation to be deactivated outside working hours;
  • New icons improve the application's ergonomics. For example, as the day progresses, it is easy to identify which appointments have been completed or are still outstanding.
