Decisiv, of Glen Allen, Va., has certified the F5 rugged tablet PC from Motion Computing, for use with the Decisiv Service Management Platform (DSMP).


"By certifying the Motion F5 tablet PC, we are enabling dealer service locations and fleets that use the DSMP to compress inspection time and have immediate access to in-context vehicle, parts and service information as technicians and other service personnel work on a vehicle," said Dick Hyatt, president of Decisiv. "The wireless tablet PC automatically interacts with the Decisiv platform to provide important information to technicians and to update service writers with inspection findings. This capability streamlines the service write up process whether the vehicle is in the shop or on the road."

The Motion F5, weighing about 3 pounds, is a thin, rugged and lightweight tablet PC designed for the mobile nature of trucking service technician workflow. Easier to use while standing or walking than a laptop or PDA, the F5 features a large screen size, full processing capabilities, a View Anywhere display for use under any lighting conditions, and an integrated camera for documentation of damaged parts or problems.

The DSMP provides a common and consistent service initiation and write-up process that can be deployed across entire North American service networks, and serve as communication conduit with customers during service transactions.

DSMP, currently in use by about one third of the OE dealer and component distributor service community, and at a growing number of fleets, is helping customer relationships under the brand names Diamond Estimating System and ServicePartner at International dealerships, MVAsist at Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks dealers, QuoteIt at W.W. Williams service facilities, DSMP at Freightliner service locations and Prevost.Asist at Prevost repair facilities.
