Field Worker Scheduling Application

The Logistical Choice application allows lawn care contractors to create an online schedule for their field workers, which can then be downloaded to field workers, eliminating a trip to the office. It consists of two pieces:

• Back-office Scheduling. Contractors schedule their field workers, track customers, and feed data to their accounting system using a web-based application.
• Field time-tracking and invoicing. Field workers enter their time, track the materials used on a job, and generate invoices from a Windows Mobile phone.

In addition to designing and building the application, I also created the help system.

The application was built for HYDROLogic.

Unique Features:

Logistical Choice features a drag-and-drop web interface for adjusting a worker's schedule. It also allows back-office workers to create an export of completed work orders, which can then be imported into QuickBooks.

Technology:

The Logistical Choice application uses the following technologies:

• ASP.NET 1.1
• VB.NET
• SQL Server 2000
• SQL Server DTS
• SQL Server Replication
• Windows Mobile
• .NET Compact Framework
