RailPros Field Services: Tablet-based field reporting system

RailPros Field Services (RPFS) has deployed a tablet-based field reporting system that provides clients with immediate access to daily information directly from jobsites. The system delivers fast, accurate reporting and managing of remote jobsite workers on clients' projects, according to the company.

To deploy the system, RPFS purchased more than 180 tablets for their nationwide team of professionals. The reporting system includes project information and a signed daily work report. Additionally, the system allows jobsite personnel direct access to project related information, track charts, specific job details, maps and other information needed to support an assignment.

The system also aids clients in monitoring project costs and streamlines project close-out activities.

"We are pleased that the program has been so well received," said RPFS President Johnny Johnson. "We will continue to use and develop technology to create additional efficiencies for our clients."
