With the rise of technology in the workplace, comes the rise of the modern plumber. There are apps for organizing office work and apps for personalizing tools. According to research done by Capterra, a free service company that helps businesses find the right software, nearly half of all software used by contractors is web-based software. It will likely be more than 50% in the next couple of years due to smartphone adoption.
“Smartphone use is critical in the office and on a jobsite,” says Matt DeBusk, vice president of sales at PipelineDeals. “Specialty contractors are well-served by the app ecosystem with innovative solutions for many specialties. Some of these apps are so powerful and useful that the office can now be an actual smartphone.”
