Free NoteVault for four months with every purchase of a Cat® smartphone.
NoteVault, a leading provider of mobile reporting solutions have teamed up with Cat phones to serve the growing segment of the mobile workforce who are looking to increase their productivity by combining rugged smartphones and mobile technology. Launching their Smart Tools for Smart People campaign, all purchases of Cat smartphones from catphones.com will qualify for four months of a NoteVault Premium account, worth $396, totally free of charge for a limited time only.
“When facing the day to day challenges of working on a construction site we refuse to believe that being rugged means you have to make a compromise. Cat smartphones bring together powerful performance with industry leading tough credentials,” said Peter Stephens, CEO of Bullitt Group, the global licensee of phones and accessories for Caterpillar Inc. “By offering an industry-dedicated app store, including on-site reporting apps like NoteVault, we ensure that our customers are fully equipped when on site with the tools needed to get the job done.”
CCS Insight forecast that in 2016, 18.4 million rugged smartphones will be shipped worldwide. These devices are similar in design and user experience to the consumer-grade smartphone, but offer enterprise-grade levels of ruggedness and additional features for those working in demanding environments, e.g. improved daylight readability and the ability to use the device whilst wearing gloves.
Ken May, Chief Commercial Officer for NoteVault explains, “The NoteVault platform is used by many of the world’s top construction and engineering firms. Much of their workforce operate outdoors where water and dirt impede their ability to use their mobile device and NoteVault apps. Having a rugged Cat smartphone running NoteVault will enable them to keep delivering daily reports. We’re excited to team up with Cat phones to offer our customers a smartphone designed for the environment where they work.”
Through the Smart Tools for Smart People campaign, Cat phones will provide a voucher for four free months of a NoteVault Premium account, for more information visit www.notevault.com/cat

One Team. One Report. program delivers opportunity to increase transparency and decrease administrative costs.
NoteVault, a leading provider of mobile reporting solutions announced today the launch of a new program designed to increase transparency, while reducing administration costs of managing subcontractor reports on large, complicated building or engineering projects. The new program One Team. One Report. enables construction companies to invite subcontractors to contribute project documentation to any project within their account at no cost to either the contractor or the subcontractor.
“General and Specialty Contractors face a significant dilemma regarding how to effectively manage subcontractors’ reports on complex projects, without creating an administrative nightmare,” said Jeremy Foster, Chief Marketing Officer for NoteVault. “In a recent survey of our customers, we found that 85% of contractors stated that they would like their subcontractors to report directly into their NoteVault account. Therefore, we created this new program designed to increase transparency and decrease administration costs associated with project documentation.”
The One Team. One Report. program enables subcontractors to post notes, photos and labor to any project at no cost, no matter how many subcontractor companies are working on the project. Each subcontractor is allocated an individual NoteVault account. NoteVault links the subcontractor project to the construction company project report. This results in a professional daiy report, including all subcontractor notes collated for easy reference, delivered every day or on demand. Plus, subcontractors receive their own reports for their work.
John Roshala, Vice President of Sales for NoteVault said, “We’ve offered this program on a test basis to several of our larger accounts and they have seen reduced administrative cost with their subcontractors being able to enter labor data directly to the project report using the Activities app.” He added, “In addition, contractors now have increased visibility into the daily work their subcontractors are performing on their projects. They receive one complete report of work perP formed on site, differentiating NoteVault from alternative reporting software, including those that are built into construction project management platforms.”
A NoteVault Account includes:
• NoteVault Daily Reporting Platform
• Notes! app for Android or iOS
• Activities Labor, Materials and Equipment app for Android or iOS
• Immediate notification of incidents/accidents through keyword notification
• Collaboration with colleagues using the comment feature
• Professional human transcription (available for an additional charge)

A. O. Smith has taken its design and industry expertise and applied it to a mobile app that will revolutionize the process of selecting the right residential water heater.
Available at Hotwater.com/Xpert or on the A. O. Smith App for iOS and Android, the Xpert™Water Heater Selection Tool is designed to help contractors lead their customers through theprocess of choosing a water heater by asking eight easy-to-answer questions about hot waterusage, available space and power sources.
The app uses proprietary algorithms to provide estimates for performance and energy cost by incorporating localized information for the homeowner, such as area groundwater temperatures and state energy prices. Analyzing user responses and local data, the Xpert then matches thosedata points to hundreds of A. O. Smith water heaters from a broad range of technologies including: gas, propane, electric, tankless and hybrid. The A. O. Smith Xpert then recommends the top three water heaters in three categories: “Meets Your Needs,” “More Hot Water,” and“Lower Energy Cost.”
Already the leading innovator in water heater technology, A. O. Smith’s Xpert app is the mostcomprehensive mobile application of its kind, according to Matt Southards, director of digitalengagement at A. O. Smith.
“The Xpert Water Heater Selection Tool is the smartest, most dynamic product recommendation engine in the industry because its analysis considers local variables that effect performance, such as energy costs and water temperatures, both of which can vary widely across the country,”Southards said. “The Xpert also translates the characteristics of each water heater into practicalbenefits homeowners understand like energy cost savings, the length of a shower a model candeliver and the number of showers a model can provide simultaneously.”
To recommend only models that meet the homeowner’s lifestyle and needs, the A. O. SmithXpert asks a series of eight questions, such as “How many showers would your household like to take at the same time?”, “How many showers would your household like to take back-to-back?”and “What size is your largest bathtub?”
The Xpert inserts seamlessly into the conversation a contractor has with a homeowner who’sconsidering a new or replacement water heater. It’s an app that can help contractors deliver top performing products and grow their business, according to Jeff Storie, director of marketing at A.O. Smith.
“A. O. Smith works closely with our contractor partners to develop the sales tools they need tobe more effective in the field and deliver a superior customer service experience,” Storie said.“With the Xpert, a contractor can easily guide homeowners to the right A. O. Smith product for their home, educate that customer about the benefits of that model and make a personalized recommendation with confidence.”
The Xpert function bolsters the already impressive A. O. Smith App, which provides a robust product cross-reference tool, as well as warranty check functionality.
