Early March Update

 

Last week was the Pumper Show.  There was far more interest in RIDGIDConnect than I expected.  It was fun to watch people light up as they began to understand what we have put together.  At first the response was: "I am fine with DVDs."  This soon changed as I would start discussing the advantages (bookmarks, snapshots, markup, security, integrations to your site, logo customization, mapping...).  By the time they saw how easy it was to do all of these things, they were nearly speechless ...in a good way!  I certainly learned that it takes more than a minute to digest all of the features that are in the site and decide if RIDGIDConnect is right for your business.  If you would like someone to walk you through the site or train you in some of the hidden features, let us know via the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page on RIDGIDConnect.  For a few more notes on what was in our booth, check out this blog from one of our distributors.

Switching topics, last week we also added a new feature to RIDGIDConnect for Job Scheduling.  Let me know what you think so far.  Simply create a new job in advance of doing the work.  You have the ability assign the job, set a time and date for the work and give a priority.  We are keeping this quiet for now as new features are added in.  Do you have a suggestion?  If so, leave it in the comments of this message.  I am also very curious how many of you are using smart phones in the field and\or using GPS to track employees.
