NACHI negotiates discount on “outdoor” computers

Chandler, AZ - October 10, 2005 - Home inspectors can significantly increase their efficiency and effectiveness by utilizing portable mobile computers in their profession. However, commercial, plastic laptops and tablet PCs are not designed for in-field use. They damage easily, they cannot operate in inclement weather or dusty conditions, and the display screens are difficult if not impossible to read in daylight lighting conditions.

Fortunately, there are mobile computers designed for outdoor, vehicular and on-site use. These computers are known as “rugged” computers and one of the most popular is the iX104C2 Rugged Tablet PC from Xplore Technologies. The iX104C2 is able to handle a 4-foot drop on to a concrete surface without sustaining damage. The iX104C2 is fully-sealed to keep out water, dust and extremely hot and cold ambient temperatures. And, the All-Vue outdoor-viewable display is recognized as one of the best display screens on the market for viewing even in direct sunlight conditions.

NACHI has developed a relationship with Xplore Technologies through one of their largest authorized resellers…Group Mobile. Group Mobile has agreed to provide iX104C2 computers to NACHI members at an 8% discount off of the already discounted website pricing. “We have previously provided Xplore computer systems to quite a few home inspectors around the country. We believe the iX104C2 is the best-suited computer on the market for inspectors. It allows them to complete their inspection forms on the computer and even converts their handwritten notes to digital form. This saves a tremendous amount of time since hand-completed forms do not have to be re-entered into the office computer” says Richard Lawson, Sales Manager for Group Mobile.

Group Mobile can be reached by telephone at 480-705-6100, by fax at 480-247-2750, by email at product-sales@groupmobile.com, or on the Web at www.groupmobile.com. Just identify yourself as a NACHI member and you will receive not only the special discount but also the Group Mobile sales staff can answer any questions you may have about using a rugged tablet pc in your business.
