There has been a lot of talk about the release of the Apple iPad in the past few months. It something I believe is going to revolutions the way in which service companies will communicate with their Field Workers.Some the of really nice features of the iPad are:
Large size screen (9.7 inch) makes it perfect to browse website
Weight 1.5 Pounds and is 0.5 inch thin
Easy ability to browse the internet and check emails. (Always online)
Starting price of $499 US (That's an impressive starting point!)
The list goes on but we think the above reasons is enough to make it a good reason to purchase the Ipad.
It's pefect for service business owner who are running a field service management software application like Connect2Field to keep track of their staff, schedule new work, access their customer base all from anywhere in the world.
Imagine after hours you get a call on your mobile from a customer who needs some urgent work done, it's 6:30pm and no one is in the office and your going out for dinner. You can pull out your ipad, (no need to connect to the internet cause it's always connected. Yes that means no stupid 3G Card which always stop working) and log into your field service software program, check the schedule and book them in!
All while your on the phone to the customer. makes running your business while out of the office so easy.
I'm sure over the next year we will seem move devices like the Ipad being released, all we can say is bring it on Our customers will love it for sure.
