subject: Using A Windows Mobile Courier Software Program [print this page] There are many different mobile operating systems, and even more mobile device manufacturers. As such, it can seem like there is a nearly endless flow of options when you're trying to select handheld devices to run business software on, such as when a courier company needs to put handheld devices in the hands of their drivers. However, there are a number of convincing reasons why someone running a courier company should strongly consider running a hardware platform that operates on the Windows Mobile OS. Luckily, there is great courier software which is also designed to run on this system, which is known as the Courier Complete software.
One of the best reasons to select a Windows Mobile courier software solution like this is if you're already running hardware which runs on Windows Mobile. When trying to upgrade the software that you are using, you are already putting out a bunch of money to try and improve the services that your company can offer. If you can manage to bring that upgrade about without having to upgrade hardware as well, you can save a great deal of money.
Another great thing about using software which is based on Windows mobile is that most of your employees are going to have an easier time learning how to use the software on their mobile devices. When you get right down to it, the operating system that the majority of people are most familiar with is certainly Windows. There are enough familiar things about the mobile version that this can make training employees on a mobile system much easier.
When you have a Windows based system on both your mobile devices and on your desktop devices, it helps to simplify communication between the two types of devices. Although "compatibility" is largely a watchword of an earlier technological generation, there can still be problems getting devices based on different base architecture to talk to each other. By using Windows based systems across the board, you can simplify device communication.
Finally, the issue of technical support is one worth considering when thinking about the benefits to be had in running courier software based on Windows Mobile. When you're working with a Windows based system on your mobiles and in your office, if you have a problem, it becomes much clearer what company you need to be working with in order to support your products.
