Tech Away: the must-have for technical operators
Tech Away: the must-have for technical operators. In the world of maintenance and technical support, time is money, and every minute counts. Tech Away by Cosmobile is the perfect ally for field operators: a mobile app that automates processes, minimizes errors, and enables centralized activity management—even offline.
Challenges faced by field operators
Technical operators encounter daily challenges, from manually filling out service reports—an error-prone and time-consuming task—to difficulties in real-time communication with company headquarters.
Traditional data management, often fragmented and paper-based, slows decision-making and hampers productivity. Recent studies reveal that adopting digital solutions, such as augmented reality-based work instructions, can speed up task completion by up to 21% and reduce perceived workload by 26%. These insights highlight the importance of tools that streamline fieldwork, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
