The analysis tool highlighted trends in device usage, identifying both underuse and overuse. By analyzing the distribution of device usage throughout the day, Mr. Konzack can now make informed decisions to allocate their resources better. This insight ensures that the devices are neither overloaded nor underused, leading to more efficient operation and prolonging the life of the devices.

Use Case 3: Simplified Data Access and Reporting

Cumbersome data analysis processes became obsolete, as navify Analytics for POC provides quick access to critical device information. Within minutes, Mr. Konzack can now access monthly, quarterly, or other periodic data and categorize it. This rapid access to organized data facilitates immediate actions and decisions, significantly improving operational responsiveness and efficiency.

Use Case 4: Certification Management

navify Analytics for POC provides a comprehensive overview of all employees’ certification status. The system marks expired certifications and highlights those expiring in the next 30 days. This proactive approach allows employees to perform required quality controls (QC) on time and avoid downtime. This feature helps ensure continuous compliance with regulations and operational efficiency.

Summary
