The office on wheels



Ford partnered with several companies to develop suite for mobile workers



Recognizing that its commercial vehicle customers are as increasingly reliant on communications and information technology as much as cubicle-bound desk jockeys, Ford has developed a suite of technologies and applications aimed at mobile commercial customers it’s calling “Work Solutions.”
These technologies include a theft-proof built-in computer — no more stolen or dropped laptops — and tools for tracking, well, tools, as well as for tracking a truck itself and securing equipment in the beds of pickups to reduce the chance it will be stolen. Work Solutions is a $2,815-add-on cost for pickups, but can be less if buyers pick and choose among the features.
“Ford Work Solutions takes productivity to a new level by bringing the office to the job site in an integrated, seamless way ... with a strong network of industry-leading partners,” said John Felice, Ford’s general marketing manager.
