CorrigoNet
CorrigoNet streamlines maintenance operations and service management by coordinating real-time information flow between all players in the service delivery process, including customers, service and dispatch agents, technicians and vendors, and management. Customers have visibility into the service request process, information is readily available to service agents and technicians, response times drop, and exceptions are flagged for follow-up. Work can be automatically routed to the appropriate vendor or subcontractor with the alert system. A related product, CorrigoConnect, allows Sprint Nextel customers to gain access to Corrigo's wireless work order management on their phones, PDAs, and mobile PCs.
