Webalo Accelerates Data Distribution For ComputerAid's Livestock Industry Customers: Getting The Right Information To The Right People At The Right Time Now Takes Hours Instead Of Months
ComputerAid Professional Services Ltd. has helped the Canadian cattle industry manage information for almost a quarter of a century, but making that information mobile can now happen one hundred times faster with the Webalo Mobile Dashboard (MD2).

LOS ANGELES, CA, October 29, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ComputerAid Professional Services Ltd. has helped the Canadian cattle industry manage information for almost a quarter of a century, but making that information mobile can now happen one hundred times faster with the Webalo Mobile Dashboard (MD2).

"We started our mobile efforts with traditional development tools and built applications that ran under a single mobile operating system," Managing Director Yvonne Tollens said. "We had already spent a lot of time creating an extractor application that lets us extract information from SQL databases, but getting data onto customers' smartphones took a lot of effort. The Webalo Mobile Dashboard, though, lets us distribute any information to a wide group of people very quickly and very easily - in hours - without writing a custom application."

Tollens' software is used by feedlots, ranchers, veterinarians, nutritionists, and countless others in the livestock supply chain to track every aspect of an animal's life from birth to slaughter. It helps ensure that cattle remain healthy, can be instantly located, and are sold at the best price. "Our databases have millions of records," Tollens pointed out, "and that data is used in a rough working environment by cowboys on horseback, managers at feedlots, buyers at auctions, and similar places." The same data is used by multiple individuals but, until ComputerAid adopted the Webalo Mobile Dashboard, people would have to print out reports and carry them around. "We used to write a custom application to put out data, and it took months. The Mobile Dashboard lets us do the same thing in hours."

Initially, ComputerAid's customers had to standardize on Windows Mobile devices to access the vendor's mobile application. Since introducing MD2, customers can use any BlackBerry, Palm, Symbian, or Java-enabled smartphone, as well.

"Our customers rely on us to come up with leading edge solutions," Tollens claims, "and we're seeing them start off with two or three Mobile Dashboard capabilities and then ask for more because they have an appetite for the right information. And more and more employees are getting smartphone access just so they can get updates about leading indicators several times a day, and the Webalo Mobile Dashboard can customize those indicators so they get exactly the right information."

Webalo CEO Peter Price understands those customer needs. "We're very used to hearing that end users never asked for the kind of enterprise-to-mobile connectivity that MD2 provides because they didn't think it was possible. But when a trend-spotting company like ComputerAid learns about MD2, adopts it, and spreads the word to its own customers, it helps everyone get more done without the coding, waiting, or cost of traditional mobile development."

Yvonne Tollens is confident. "Nobody else in the industry in North America is anywhere close to us, and the Webalo Mobile Dashboard puts us even further ahead, making it possible to work in a broader area to serve any industry that needs immediate, accurate access to critical data."
