Mobi works with any company that uses the Shopmetrics platform although some companies do a better job than others in terms of setting up the jobs to be entered using the app. I imagine there could be slight differences if you are using an iPhone versus an Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy and find that I can easily complete USPS shops on it without ever turning on my laptop. Also, the new company has made the timings so much easier.
I complete 50+ USPS shops every month, usually five a day, and have never had an issue. Here is how I go about it:
Before entering the facility I upload a photo of my package and box receipt. I answer the questions regarding purchasing the box.
I have my timer ready to go and I have the shop in question pulled up on my screen set to question number 2. The moment I walk in the door, I tap the "set date and time to now" button. That gives you your first timing. As you are supposed to enter the line immediately, that should also give you your second timing.
The second I enter the line, I hit the start button on my stopwatch app. When I'm called to the counter, I hit the stop or lap button and glance at the total time. It's a good idea to make a mental note of it as I have found that this is the one thing that can go wrong, i.e., a stopwatch malfunction where your timing is lost.
The timing on your stopwatch is your third timing. The time on the receipt is your fourth timing.
From experience I know I leave the facility one minute after the time on the receipt but will glance at the time on my phone to verify as I'm leaving. This is your fifth and last timing.
When I first enter the line I count the number of customers ahead of me and the number at the counter. Depending on the facility, I may jump to those questions and enter the data while I'm waiting.
The rest of the observations take seconds once you have some of these under your belt. I automatically check forms, shipping supplies, and menu boards. I look for a kiosk.
Once done inside, I go to my car and input the shop. It takes 10 minutes and I'm done. I only wish I could do ten of these a day, five days a week. They are my favorite shops due to the short amount of time they take and the fact I have no reports to do at night.
