Improving Field Operational Efficiencies & Communication Using Getac K120 Rugged Tablet
Superior Service
More Connectivity, More Versatility
Perfect for Field Service Technicians
Background
Due to operational inefficiencies, it was imperative that the RTC Fiber Communications’ team of field technicians transition from traditional pen-and-paper to a streamlined, digital method of project pricing, ordering, and time tracking. After the initial roll-out of commercially available tablets, and the number of device failures that quickly followed, it became clear to the RTC team that a rugged solution would be best for their daily duties.
Challenge
“After a generic google search for “the best rugged laptop”, I simply started reading third-party reviews. I quickly learned about Getac’s industry-leading line of rugged devices, which lead me to your website. After learning more about what Getac offers, beyond the device, I started pulling spec sheets and submitting them to our team of field engineers for their initial review.” Following the initial review of various Getac device spec sheets, the RTC team of engineers gave their buying team the green light to contact the Getac team for more information.
Reining true to Getac’s commitment to customer support service; not only did a member of the Getac solutions team respond to the RTC team’s form submission within just a few hours, but rather than pushing the product that RTC was initially interested in, the Getac team decided it would be best to meet with the RTC team on-site to best understand their daily operations and requirements in a rugged device.
Solution
After an on-site device demo, it became clear that the versatile form factor and powerful connectivity of Getac’s K120 tablet perfectly suited the RTC Fiber Communications’ in-field environmental and operational needs.
The fully rugged Getac K120 delivers more power, more connectivity, and more versatility than ever before. With an attachable full-size backlit keyboard and a wide variety of straps and handles, a 12.5’’FHD LumiBond® 2.0 screen, and the latest-generation processing power and connectivity, the K120 is perfectly adaptable for field technician teams.
Benefits
Equipped with Getac K120 tablets, the RTC team of technicians are now able to streamline their service operations and installation processes; resulting in improved internal efficiencies, enhanced customer service, and overall company capabilities when it comes to servicing their customer base.
