Happy New Year, all! Hope your 2014 is off to an amazing start! I know it has beengreat so far for us – especially now, since we’ve all downloaded the new TotalineMobile Technician applications to our tablets. We’ve been trying to go paperless fora while, and part of that was making sure every technician had a tablet to take tothe jobsite, for notes, inventory and billing. So when Totaline came out with the newMobile Technician application in November, everyone was asking me if I’d down-loaded it, and if I loved it. And my response? “Of course,” on both accounts!
For those of you not yet familiar with the Totaline Mobile Technician application, thisis a free app you can get right at your local Totaline Sales Center. It’s compatiblewith your iPhone® or iPad®, or your Android™ device. The app has great featuresthat make getting the parts you need a snap, including:
• Equipment BOM Search – You can scan or search the equipment’s serial or model number.
• Cross Referencing Tool – Easily find compatible replacement components.• Marketing Links – Offers a quick link to valuable marketing information and
training videos. • Store Locator – This provides an on board GPS store locator that shows store
locations within 100 miles.• History – Your search history is maintained for up to 14 days.• Setting Options – Easily update or change user preferences and check application version.
• Documents – This feature allows you to search sales literature.
Additionally, the Mobile Technician application allows you to create a FAQ-buildingdatabase, access source systems for current data, and provides easy scanning orkeyed input. So don’t wait – be sure to head on out to your local Totaline Sales Cen-ter and get the Mobile Technician application while it’s hot! And tell them Madgesent you – see you next month!
