AvantGuard App Blends Multiple features Into One Tool

avantguardApp
September 11, 2019

The AvantGuard mobile app is a tool for business owners and technicians to create, manage and test accounts outside the office and especially in customers’ homes. Its features include customizable default settings, location-based account lookup, multi-zone testing and test history review. In addition, the app is capable of managing the entire testing process, from the beginning to its finish, all without the technician having to call a central station operator. Some of the app’s features, such as the location-based account lookup, come from suggestions that dealers made in the form of “wishes” through AvantGuard surveys. Another feature of the app that comes from dealer feedback is the ability to set customized, default settings for technicians who regularly perform the same type of tests on accounts. In addition, dealers can manually select individual zones to place on test, or place the entire system on test, making the entire testing process as simple or complex as the technician wants.
