stuff App Happy Industry Apps
With an increasing number of demolition professionals now relying upon smart phones and tablet devices to help them run their businesses, we will be taking a regular look at the iPhone and iPad apps available to make their life a little easier:
JCB Attachments – As you’d expect from the marketing machine that is JCB, this slick app is an easy-to-navigate system that allows you to match carriers to the appropriate work tool across a whole host of
industries. An interesting aside is an Inventor section that allows users to submit suggestions for new attachments. There’s no promise that those inventions might one day sport the JCB badge, but it’s pleasing to see this level of user interaction and innovation.
Caterpillar Inc – An odd mix of news and background information from the world’s largest construction equipment manufacturer. The fact that the company’s current share price is the first item that
appears on the app suggests that the app is designed more for investors than equipment users. However, as a means to access the latest product information, it still leaves a lot to be desired.
Pirtek – Of all the apps that we tested, this is the one that makes best use of the iPhone’s built in geo-location capability. By identifying your location, the app can link you to the closest source of replacement hydraulic hoses in an instant. Although it will
probably be of more use to site personnel dealing with a hydraulic hose failure, this is our App of the Month.
