ConstHelp - Sales Tools

Sales Tools is part of the Construction Help family of apps developed by CodeKayak, a Mobile Application Design and Development startup. It was designed with the Construction Technology dealer in mind (Trimble/Sitech, Topcon, Leica, etc.). However, the tools are non-specific and as more heavy equipment machines become equipped with positioning technology from the factory, equipment sales representatives (Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Case, Volvo, etc.) will find the tools within this app useful as well.

App Features:
Sales Calculator - Calculate deals in the field, during a customer meeting or anywhere on the go (Price, Margin and Profit).
Units Converter - Accurately convert units of measure.
Quick Leads - Enter a lead as quickly as writing a text message.
Quick To-Do - Enter an item to do as quickly as writing a text message.
Distance - Unique two point distance calculation, completely independent of your current location.
GPS Accuracy - Troubleshoot GPS accuracy issues, like time-of-day or current location.
Auto-Texting - Don’t leave customers waiting for a response while driving or in a meeting.
More Help - Need more help? Quickly reach out to your manufacturer representatives with one-click calling.

Known Limitations:
1. The Distance function does not zoom to your current location when the screen is initialized or the user presses the “Refresh” button. This is because I currently have to hard code a latitude and longitude position to enable the unique two point distance calculation. I hope to add this capability in the future, while maintaining the uniqueness.
2. The Auto-Texting screen requires you to have the screen active for the function to work. I programmed the application to disallow your mobile device to sleep while in this screen; however, staying in the screen is not always feasible in situations where auto-texting could be useful. For example, this limitation seemed to be more noticeable during meetings as opposed to while driving during our beta testing period.
