Via Jason Langridge’s Mr. Mobile site

"For instance, when drivers collect their Pocket PCs before deliveries
begin, the navigation system will have already synchronised with the
customers’ addresses and planned the driver’s most efficient route.
Once seated in the vehicle, the driver hits the ‘go’ prompt on screen
and the route to the day’s first delivery address is displayed."

Microsoft regularly produce some very nice case studies on Windows Mobile deployments – highlighting ways that companies have gained competitive advantage, improved customer service, gained a competitve advantage, and so on via a Windows Mobile based solution.

Jason Langridge’s Mr. Mobile site has a new post up on a recently released case study featuring Tesco – a leading UK supermarket chain, and provider of the largest grocery homeshopping service in the world. 

It’s a good read, with some details on how rapidly Tesco was able to get a new navigational system developed, and how it easily integrated with an existing scheduling solution.

And there are some pretty strong quotes in there from Tesco’s IT team on the success of their WM projects.

“Windows Mobile played a major role in realising Tesco’s goal because
it enabled the rapid delivery of a customised solution. The software
environment facilitates integration and delivery within a tremendously
short timeframe.”
