For the last two or so years I have been the lead architect and developer on one of Touchwork’s flagship products, SurveyThumb, an extremely flexible, fully customizable online survey management system which is geared in particular to mobile phone data capture, the goal of which is to replace any paper based capture systems currently in use in the workplace – no matter what that workplace might be!
I’m extremely proud of the monumental amount of work that has gone into SurveyThumb and I’m pleased to see that Touchwork has now officially launched the latest usage of the Utiviti (a different name for SurveyThumb) platform in the form of Utiviti Alert Manager.
From the official press release:
Touchwork has launched a new and unique product that allows you to receive, track and manage alerts from the field in real-time. Utiviti Alert Manager is part of the Utiviti suite of smart, multi-platform solutions to make your workforce more productive, and your utility processes more efficient.
Imagine if (without additional hardware) you could…
- Immediately know about field problems in real-time
- Make it easy for field teams to report problems
- Easily monitor progress to resolve the problem
- Empower all your staff to make meaningful suggestions
- Save money and improve service delivery/quality
This breakthrough mobile service can immediately improve operational effectiveness in your municipality or company. It can also act as an electronic “suggestion box” – allowing staff to report a problem or issue when they see it, or make a suggestion they think could add value to the organisation. Furthermore, it could be used as a channel to commend a colleague for work done that deserved special mention.
Whether it’s on a mobile phone or the office PC, the Utiviti Alert Manager opens new channels of communication to manage the valuable flow of information.
To find out more about this great product, contact either Brian Mawdsley or John Kabalin at emea.sales@touchwork.com or on +27 21 702 4135. Brian is also available on Twitter as @brianmawdsley.

Well, it has been pretty much two and a half years since I originally applied for the position of Development Team Manager over at Touchwork. Of course, that never panned out and I continued in my existing role as senior developer and went on to create the very flexible feedback platform known as SurveyThumb/Ut ...

So I'm back at work after a relaxing two and a half week break, meaning that I'm raring to go. 2012 was a bit of a transition year for Touchwork I suppose, in that we lost our previous development manager, took on a new managing director in the form of Ignatius, and with it a new organisational chart, I took up the ...
Well the good news is that at least all of my hard work here at Touchwork is beginning to pay off rather nicely. My projects are starting to pull together much to my satisfaction (given my current workload) and to add that all important, juicy cherry on the top, I just heard a little while back that I'm getting a r ...
True, we already have these funky orange chairs to look forward to in Touchwork offices... ...but they've gone one step further and finally caved in to my months of hinting, nudging and snide commentary: our dual monitor setups! Nice eh? So apart from the usual productivity booster, my cup of coffee, on my de ...
Craig Lotter is an established web developer and application programmer, with strong creative urges (which keep bursting out at the most inopportune moments) and a seemingly insatiable need to love all things animated. Living in the beautiful coastal town of Gordon's Bay in South Africa, he games, develops, takes in animated fare, trains under whichever martial arts dojo is closest at the time, and for the most part, simply enjoys life with his amazing wife and daughter.
Oh, and he draws ever now and then too.
This is a collection of things that he has managed to find the time to scribble down since 2007.
