Utilities

Metering, billing, collection for water and electricity for households and commercial establishments. The use of a handheld device like the GeoAmida can facilitate the efficient billing and collection (using a prepaid smartcard-based model). A single mobile computing platform can be used to record consumption, collect charges and provide a receipt to the customer at his door-step. This cuts down on unnecessary administrative expenses which can translate into operational profits.

Land Records

The management of land records, especially rural and agricultural holdings, is key to acessing capital. Computerisation of land records has not moved the challenge to efficient extraction, mangement and updation of the records and providing access to this data from remote areas. Collection of data by village officials is a key ongoing task that keeps this data current.

A easy to use, multi-lingual, mobile device like the GeoAmida with an integrated GPS tracking and digital camera module is ideally suited for many of the above tasks.

Multi-Purpose National ID

Example: banking, driver’s license, health insurance, etc. All services that are accessible through these smartcards require multi-application capable mobile transaction devices.

The GeoAmida platform is ideally suited for the deployment of services based on multi-purpose national ID cards. The biometric and smartcrd capabilities, the flexible connectivity options, the built-in printer, the multi-lingual application layer, and the track record of successful deployment of the GeoAmida in diverse applications all clerly identify the GeoAmida as the platform of choice.
