Spira Data Corp. is pleased to announce the launch of their new handheld software, Spira Mobile Lite.

(Calgary, AB – June 25, 2010) Spira Data Corp, a leading provider of mobile enterprise application software is pleased to announce the launch of their new handheld mobile software Spira Mobile Lite.

Spira Mobile Lite is a handheld version of Spira Mobile that has been developed for field service companies that want a simpler, more compact way to capture field information without carting around a laptop to the worksite. The software has been developed primarily for companies that operate in a high transaction low data capture daily environment.

Spira’s mobile enterprise application platform is not device specific, meaning that one user in your field workforce can be using a laptop for their daily work and another user can be using a handheld device. Combined with Spira Command, our powerful office software, Spira Mobile Lite provides field service companies with a complete field and office operational software solution.

Jon Watts, President of Spira Data Corp. states; “We are pleased to add the next level of field data capture to our current laptop version of Spira Mobile. It is designed for service companies that capture multiple tickets or work orders in a day with a smaller set of billing and operational data capture requirements. Spira Mobile Lite® enables organizations to deploy the appropriate device while still getting the full functionality of our back office software.”

Spira Mobile Lite was developed to capture billing and operational data in the field with digital signature capability. Additionally, the software allows a user to print a physical copy for signature if needed. Spira Mobile Lite is built using the same flexible framework already enjoyed by our current clients in the service industry. Features such as a fully configurable menu structure, user defined data points, notes and attachment capabilities including the ability to attach photo’s (if the device has a camera).

“We are thrilled to get this product launched,” continues Watts. This new product allows us to further address the needs of the mobile workforce and continues to position Spira as a leader in field data capture solutions.”

CTO James St. Clair remarks “The release of Spira Mobile Lite for the Motorola and Window Mobile platform is one step in many to provide easy and reliable data collection across the most popular handheld operating environments.”
