Service Skeds Launches Updated HVAC/Field Service Management iPad, iPhone and Android Apps










North Richland Hills, Tx (PRWEB) December 19, 2011

Service Skeds announces the launch of updated Apps for their iPhone, iPad, and Android mobile field service management full service solution, to bring even greater tools right to the HVAC and mobile field technicians’ fingertips. New features allow techs to interact with complete job history, equipment history, service contract details, and detailed customer information right from their mobile phone or tablet.

The updates allow HVAC and other field service technicians to take pictures from their smartphone and attach them to work orders and invoices. Now, techs with Service Skeds can snap a picture, record customer information and keep track of their equipment with a press of a button. The tech can also schedule his or her own appointments while in the field, allowing more time for both the tech and the dispatcher to focus on what’s really important – efficient customer service.

Other new features were added with the same focus in mind. The three easy-to-view tabs on the schedule page help techs quickly keep track of past, current and future jobs. While on their way to a job, techs can also check out the latest Service Skeds customer screen, which now clearly displays the customer’s phone number, address, map location and history.

Stephen Chambers, President and CTO of Service Skeds had this to say, “Our goal is to create value for our customers by eliminating unnecessary communication between the dispatcher and the tech, to provide our customers with the ability to do more jobs per day. Thus creating more revenue for their business.” The original smartphone apps were released to Service Sked clients in Jun. 2011 for the iPhone and Sep. 2011 for Android users. These apps immediately gave techs and HVAC companies the on-the-go technology they need to compete in this business, allowing technicians to receive invoice approval and payments from the phone, communicate with dispatch efficiently, and provide greater customer service in less time.

About Service Skeds: Service Skeds is a field service management software designed to make HVAC and other service companies more efficient and profitable using cutting edge technology and innovation. The Service Skeds online software allows the dispatcher to keep detailed information on all of their customers, technicians and their equipment, so the status is of every job is evident on one screen. Service Skeds is also made to work seamlessly with smartphones, both iPhone and Android and their tablet counterparts. Service Skeds was founded in 2008 in Fort Worth, Texas and enjoys management with over 20 years in the service and dispatch industries.

Microsoft Launches Bing At SMX Advanced

Microsoft Launches Bing At SMX Advanced











SMX Advanced


Redding, CT (PRWEB) June 5, 2009

Speaking in front of a packed audience at the Search Marketing Expo – SMX Advanced conference Wednesday, Dr. Qi Lu officially announced the launch of Bing, Microsoft’s newly branded search engine. “The best way to predict the future is to create it,” said Lu, President, Online Services Division at Microsoft. “Bing is the first step in a long journey.”

Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of Search Engine Land, asked Lu more about the rollout, Microsoft’s decision to re-brand its search products, and how Bing will differentiate itself from other search engines.

“It’s very important that we have a brand that only represents search,” said Lu. When looking at key success factors at other search engines, “companies in the search space that do well tend to have a strong brand that represents just search,” said Lu. “It’s very important that we have a search brand.”

The name itself came after an extensive process that focused on coming up with something that would be short, easy to pronounce, and easy to come up with the correct url. The Chinese translation, he said, means “very certain to respond.”

Lu went on to say that Bing will differentiate itself by its ability “to fulfill user intent faster,” he said. Search results will no longer be delivered as 10 links per page, but will be offered in web groups based on presumed user intent. A search on Seattle, for example, would deliver results in groups such as weather, restaurants, attractions, etc.

According to Lu, the rollout of Bing, which has been followed carefully by search marketers, is going well. “So far, so good,” he said, noting that there are already 20,000 friends Facebook and 16,000 followers on Twitter. The search experience in the next few years can be a lot more competitive,” he added. “More competition and more choices is a good thing for everybody.”

Search Marketing Expo – SMX Advanced is programmed by Search Engine Land, the leading news site for search and online marketers. The conference, which sold out for the third year in a row, runs for two days in Seattle in early June. More than 1300 marketers attended this year.

Controversial Apple iPhone Review Blog Launches iPhone Shop

Controversial Apple iPhone Review Blog Launches iPhone Shop











Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2007

Recent rumors of a possible launch delay for the Apple iPhone haven’t stopped Chris Cano from launching a new iPhone shop attached to his popular but controversial Apple iPhone Review blog. The shop, located at http://www.AppleiPhoneReview.com/iphone-shop, launched today as a resource for readers of the blog, and will, for the most part, be kept separate from blog posts to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

The Apple iPhone, slated for a June 2007 release, has lately been the subject of several persistent rumors, from speculations of rebates and subsidies on the iPhone to the latest rumors that the iPhone launch may be delayed.

Rumors of delays have been downplayed by Apple, but are based on supposed comments from a source within Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturer producing Apple’s iPhone.

The iPhone, according to Apple, “combines three amazing products – a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, Web browsing, maps, and searching – into one small and lightweight handheld device.” Apple stands by its June launch estimates.

Although the iPhone has not yet been released to the public, several accessory products have already hit the market, including iPhone cases, wireless headsets, car adapters and mounts, and even pre-release orders of an iPhone for Dummies book, due out in September.

The new iPhone shop launched in conjunction with AppleiPhoneReview.com will offer iPhone enthusiasts these accessories and more, so as to “begin dressing up their iPhones even before they can buy them,” said Cano.

About Apple iPhone Review:

AppleiPhoneReview.com is a popular iPhone blog launched in November 2006 featuring news, reviews and now a shop dedicated to the Apple iPhone. A controversial blog post in February 2006, which leaked a private consumer survey revealing possible iPhone price reductions, first brought AppleiPhoneReview.com to the public eye. The blog is run by Chris Cano, a PC-user who promises readers unbiased news and reviews on the Apple iPhone rather than “the biased ramblings of a ‘gahgah for Apple’ fanboy.”

For more information on Apple iPhone Review or the new iPhone shop, please visit http://www.AppleiPhoneReview.com or contact Chris Cano at 305-586-4004.
