$500 Billion is the size of the home services market and it's growing.

With this growth, field service companies face a range of challenges daily, from scheduling and dispatching technicians to handling customer requests and tracking inventory. Fortunately, technology can help streamline field service operations through the use of a field service management app. An app can automate workflows, schedule appointments more efficiently, and improve communication with customers and technicians.

Car rental is a business that requires a big investment to buy, or lease, and maintain a vehicle fleet. You will have to compete for both with huge and powerful companies like Enterprise, Hertz, Sixt, Europcar, and smaller ones. And in such a tough situation, most of the firms try to sidestep the rivals by proposing better quotes. That is why it is extremely important for small entrepreneurs to keep an eye on every benchmark.

In this article will explore the essitial features of car rental websites and compare development options. Let's dive in.

Speech recognition is one of the most difficult aspects of programming and, at the same time, one of the most desirable features of new-age applications. One of the potential implementations is using speech recognition in call-centers systems to automate the mundane work of operators.

The main question is how to make a machine understand natural language, transform it into text, and return an adequate response? Many development companies such as Google, Amazon, IBM, Apple, and Microsoft are now highly involved in the creation of the best mechanisms to cope with these tasks. Thus, some time ago Amazon announced a service for creating conversational interfaces for applications - Amazon Lex.

Actually, we actively use AWS products in many of our projects and know their specifics, so, in spite of the fact that Lex was still quite raw (new and poorly documented), we were determined to crack it. We hoped that this would be one more positive story that would give us more points toward our overall expertise score.

However, our experience turned out to be quite controversial. If you plan to use Lex for your automatic speech recognition (ASR) bot, you may find it helpful to read this article. We would like to caution you.

As an owner of an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home, you should definitely know how challenging it can be to provide high-quality care while overseeing routine operational tasks like resident admission, invoice generation, staff shifts scheduling and time tracking, and to top it all - making reports and analyze information.

In the US alone, the number of people aged 65 and older is anticipated to grow more than twice from 46 million today to over 98 million by 2060. It means that more elderly people will require nurse care and more assisted living facilities will open around the world.

Both types of senior housing communities are neither hospitals, nor hotels, but they similarly gather, keep, and manage a lot of confidential data about their residents, staff, care plan, and financial transactions. It would be more hard work if this is done manually and on paper.

Why is it important to transfer the paperwork into computer systems? How do you make an ALF or nursing home software that will mirror exactly your needs and how much will it cost? We’ll talk about all this right now! Read on and do not miss a thing!

“95% of our energy should be spent on generating income. If I am spending that time typing in stuff, adjusting stuff, organizing stuff and only 5% of time on generating income, then I am in trouble!” — Kris McCullough, a thought leader in real estate business, owner of KSA

When it is just you and a couple of clients, it might be easy to concentrate on the core activities 95% of the time. But as your client base grows and you add more and more people to the team, administrative and organizational tasks start to take over.

That’s the time when agents turn to business tools like real estate CRM and marketing automation software.

A Customer Relationship Management System is an indispensable tool for modern sales, marketing, and customer support managers. There are hundreds of off-the-shelf CRM solutions on the market, but more than half of their users struggle with them daily because they don’t fit the business processes or simplify routine actions.

If you’ve experienced the deficiencies of a ready-made CRM functionality, pay too much for features that you don’t use, or are unable to integrate the CRM with third-party software, then take a look at our guide on how to build a CRM. Let’s dive in!
