ServiceM8.com – Managing Field Delivery Services

September 18, 2010

Service M8 is a browser-based application for the managing of field delivery services on the whole. Using this tool, the ones in charge can do everything from providing potential clients with estimates to invoicing them once the work is done.

Using Service M8 you will be able to see a map showing you where all your field technicians are, along with the exact location of the clients that have requested assistance. With all that information in full sight, it is very easy to allocate the staff member that is closer to the client, and set about solving his/her problem more quickly.

This application can be run both on iPhones and iPads. Those who are part of your field staff will be able to visualize all the tasks and jobs that they have been assigned at a mere glance, and know what is expected of them at all times.

In theory, Service M8 can be used by people located in any part of the world. However, some aspects such as tax regulations could pose a difficulty for people who are located outside of the US. And the application is only available in English, anyway.

RivaService.com – Field Service Management Simplified

February 10, 2010

In general terms, RivaService is a newly-launched solution that serves two main purposes: the management of field services, and the scheduling of jobs. Taken together, their aim is to let any organization manage its service operations from top to bottom, automating these steps that are traditionally time-consuming.

A dashboard is provided to these ends, and jobs can be scheduled and dispatched from it. Map-based tracking is likewise provided, and the supervisor can see where everybody is located in real time. Logistical changes, then, are very easily implemented.

The most interesting aspect is that this service does not retail at a fixed fee. Rather, RivaService is modular and you will pay as you go. You are solely going to choose the plans that appertain to your company, and pay only for these.

The basic aim of this solution is letting service companies forget about IT and IT infrastructure considerations, and focus on what should matter above all: their core operations, and the satisfaction of clients. It is worth noting that during the current beta phase the service is provided at no cost – you can sign for the field service and see all the main features already in position. Paid plans are yet to be announced.

TRN360.com – Total Recruiting Network

November 20, 2008

TRN360.com is a new online service that assists high school athletes in marketing themselves to colleges and universities, where they can continue their athletic careers.

The mission of TRN360.com is to help more high school students get access to a college degree through their desire to play sports at the next level.

The TRN360.com team is comprised of individuals that have been through the recruiting process from all points of view: as a player, as a parent, as a coach, and as a recruiter. These people know the process. They know what it takes to be a collegiate athlete, and they know what the colleges are looking for. Using this information and the tools TRN360.com offers, student athletes and their parents can put the power in their hands to get noticed by the colleges they are most interested in attending.

The majority of colleges and programs do not have the resources, time or connections with high school coaches to find talent for their programs. That is why student athletes and their parents need to take an active role in the recruiting process and learn to properly market themselves.

Recruiting is not a spectator sport, you cannot sit on the sideline and wait for them to find you. The reality is the colleges may not know you are out there. TRN360’s service allows you to target the schools you are most interested in, and provide to the colleges the information they need to properly evaluate whether you are a good fit for their program.
