What Makes BMC Helix Field Service Management Different

True Offline Capability

Mobile Reach field service apps are fully functional offline, so technicians can continue working in remote locations, secure facilities, or areas with poor connectivity. When connection returns, data syncs automatically.

This isn’t “cached mode”—it’s full offline functionality including work order updates, inventory transactions, time tracking, and signature capture.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Mobile Reach employs AES-256 bit encryption for data in transit and at rest. Our client-server architecture avoids web browser and open source vulnerabilities.

In recognition of our secure architecture, Mobile Reach was awarded the Certificate of Networthiness by the United States Army and meets HIPAA regulations for healthcare deployments.
