We are living through an unprecedented time of technological change. It’s not just smartphones, which have seen the fastest ever adoption of any technology in the world’s history. There is also ever cheaper solar power, self-driving and electric cars, drones, not to mention breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Benjamin Dyer of Powered Now focuses on just one of these -  smartphone technology – and looks at how this is going to change things in the plumbing trade.

Powered Now, the people making life easier for electricians, has announced a major new release of its app for simplifying paperwork.

The release also adds a raft of new functionality designed to help teams work closely together in the most efficient way possible.

Powered Now helps electricians by:

• Getting their evenings back. Especially true for small businesses who hate paperwork and often have to waste their evenings on it.

• Growing their business. Powered Now users win more business as they can raise and track quotations faster and more easily.

Benjamin Dyer of Powered Now examines the way that plumbers can get their evenings back with the help of technology, even if technology turns them off!

The mobile revolution

Looking back, it took a surprisingly long time for mobile phones to get to saturation. In fact, it took twenty years. During that long period, lots of people rubbished the phones and said they would never catch on. Every new technology that eventually becomes ubiquitous still goes through a period of disbelief.

In contrast to mobiles, smartphone penetration has been much quicker and the comparison should teach us some lessons.
