When it comes to productivity, Ford Work Solutions is what you need in your work truck. There are several pieces to what makes this feature so beneficial, and right now let’s discuss the in-dash computer.
First off, it gives you an in-dash office right in the cab of your truck. You don’t have to go back to the office to get work done because you can pretty much do it all on-site. Take a look at some of the great features that are available from Ford Work Solutions:
Full mobile office functionality
- Open a word processing or spreadsheet document, generate invoices, or perform a variety of other business tasks
- Load and back up files with the built-in USB port or SD memory card slot.
- Make prints on an available Ford-certified, Bluetooth-enabled wireless inkjet printer.
High-speed Internet access
- Full Internet connectivity is available from your vehicle with the available high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network.
- Access information from a manufacturer – diagrams or blueprints, for example — to make your job easier and more productive.
Remote computer access
- Access a remote office or home computer from your truck through the online LogMeIn service.
- Your remote computer is completely controlled directly from the In-Dash Computer, including all its programs and files.
Hands-free calling and navigation
- The computer system works with wireless Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, providing hands-free calling with push-to-talk voice recognition, access to user phonebooks, plus the ability to receive text messages.
- Navigation by Garmin includes turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts.
- The Sprint Mobile Broadband Network provides features such as weather forecasts, reroute information to avoid construction delays or traffic congestion, and points of interest (gas station locations and fuel prices, restaurants, and many others).
All of this is possible because of the in-dash 4-gig computer system developed by Magneti Marelli and powered by Microsoft Auto. Plus, you get a high-res 6.5” screen that features a wireless keyboard. This really takes a brand new Ford truck to the next level.
