Description

Shark Byte was a concept created by industry consultants and service contractors, Perfectware. This group has more than 50 years of combined experience in the Mechanical Service Industry, both in sales and managerial positions. We recognized the need for a specialized tool to sell to Mechanical Service Contractors. We learned that there is no one solution that will meet all contractors' needs. There are many options, including single tools, add-ons for service management software or customizing commercial CRM packages. We designed a solution that includes a customer and sales tracking CRM as well as a mobile surveying tool, contract and job estimating tools, and electronic proposal generation. We surveyed contractors throughout the design and programming process to validate Shark Byte tools and methodology, and to create the best Sales Relations Manager in the industry.
