BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, September 16, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- CKSW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization solutions, today announced that a Fortune 500 property and casualty insurance company is deploying ClickSoftware's ServiceOptimization Suite, including ClickSchedule, ClickMobile, ClickLocate and ClickAnalyze, to enhance the efficiency with which the company schedules and dispatches its inspections of homes and vehicles.

"As a company, we are always looking for new ways in which to bring the benefits of service optimization to a wider audience. The insurance industry is still a relatively new market for ClickSoftware, and this win is evidence to the need for scheduling and optimization solutions in this important industry, and to our ability to serve as the provider of such solution," said Hannan Carmeli, Chief Operating Officer at ClickSoftware.

ClickSoftware solutions will optimize the scheduling for several hundred mobile claims representatives ensuring more inspections take place every day and improved compliance with service level agreements. They will also provide greater control and visibility over hundreds of independent contractors who work in partnership with the insurance company.

Street-level-routing features ensure the inspectors take the most efficient routes between jobs to increase productivity and reduce travel time. The insurance company will also use ClickAnalyze Reporting which provides full visibility of operational data that exists in the system - enabling decision makers to gain insights about the performance of the operation and to proactively manage them. This data - which is extracted from ClickSoftware's ServiceOptimization Suite - is presented in an easy-to-understand format that enables managers, dispatchers and other support personnel to immediately identify opportunities and address problems before they become crises.

ClickMobile will ensure the company's IT managers and claims representatives have the most updated information about job status, priorities, history, location, etc. The solution wirelessly connects field employees via their handheld devices to job information for field activities and tasks. The claims representatives can also quickly update customer service managers as to job status, location and delays.

Together, ClickSchedule, ClickMobile and ClickLocate establish the foundation for the real time service enterprise, providing continuous real-time optimization of the service delivery process. This minimizes travel time, improves response during emergency situations, maximizes productivity of the inspectors and, ultimately, increases customer satisfaction.
