Pronto Build Your Own Forms v1.1
Pronto, by TrueContext Corporation, allows companies to immediately eliminate paper forms with real-time capture and reporting of mission-critical information using BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. Pronto easily mobilizes common processes like inspections, audits, surveys and work orders used in multiple industries.
My wife works for a big grocery shipping corporation here in North Carolina as a scanning coordinator. I've helped her scan literally hundreds of thousands of sheets of paper - which are then either thrown away or recycled. If a company were to use this, it could cut back on my wife's workload quite a bit, as well as save a LOT of wasted paper. I'm for it, as long as she isn't out of a job, LoL!
