Following the launch of the ground-breaking LumXpert App for professional installers, the team at Signify provide more details about its many features and benefits and why modern technology is helping electricians to take their offering to a higher level.
In today’s technologically advanced and ever-evolving world, electricians are on a constant look-out for tools that can make their work more efficient and convenient.
The 2000s have seen a surge in mobile applications designed specifically for electricians working in the UK. These Apps cater to various needs such as project management, calculations, and electrical planning, becoming an essential part of a modern electrician’s toolkit.
Be it a scenario of installing lighting in an office space or warehouse or simply replacing the lights in a facility, a job like this can come with a myriad of challenges – whether that’s finding the right products or the best partner to supply these products, putting an accurate quote in place, or even getting the installation right as per specific workspace regulations and requirements.
More so, as an electrician in the UK, you know that keeping up with the latest technology can be a challenge.
Keeping abreast of the latest trends and striving for continuous improvement, the electrical industry and its need for Apps is no different than what’s seen in any other sector.
These Apps must offer utility, features, tools, and tailored services designed to save time throughout a working day. The Apps must also provide the required support when it’s needed most.
How can App technology help?
Market studies show that ordering online, either through traditional wholesalers, marketplace, or new online pure players, is increasing. The trends also show that:
Working on the go
Electricians are always on the move, working at various job sites or in different locations. With a mobile App, they can carry a comprehensive toolkit in their pocket, eliminating the need to lug around bulky manuals, reference materials, or physical tools.
The convenience of accessing critical information, such as electrical codes, wiring diagrams, or calculators, from a mobile device saves time and effort, allowing users to focus on the task at hand.
Staying up-to-date on the latest trends and regulations
Electrical codes and standards continuously evolve, and electricians must stay current with the latest regulations. Mobile Apps that offer code references and updates ensure that electricians have instant access to the most up-to-date data.
This access to real-time information helps electricians make informed decisions, ensure compliance, and maintain high standards of safety and quality.
Handy for electrical jobs
Leading their companies and running daily operations, electricians have a busy day with a diverse range of tasks – from finding customers to purchasing equipment to installation, invoicing, and after-sales service. While they’re a super-skilled workforce, having a companion like Signify LumXpert can make the job easy while on the go.
