Finding a connection
I ’ m sure there isn ’ t a person reading this introduction that hasn ’ t said ‘ I need another pair of hands ’, or ‘ there aren ’ t enough hours in the day ’, or ‘ my to-do list keeps getting longer ’, at least once in their lives . I say them all at least once a week . Software and technology in our industry has the ability to streamline processes , make operations more efficient and the supply chain more effective ; whether it ’ s our internal system or connectivity between companies – even the whole sector .
» BUT THERE ’ S ANOTHER saying that goes : ‘ technology works best when it brings people together ’. If you are ( still ) reading this introduction , then it already has . Welcome to Clearview ’ s first Software & Technology Guide . We ’ ve brought together some of the most innovative digital solutions in fenestration that are making the lives of fabricators , installers and suppliers easier every day . These are the systems that
have been developed to bridge the gap between trade and consumer , boost business and build a better industry from the inside out .
From everyday checklists to designing conservatories in the sky ( the design was in the sky , not the conservatory ), from generating leads to filing a tax return , digital certification and compliance to augmented reality door designers , this is the technology that is driving our industry into the
future . There are so many opportunities available , it ’ s hard to believe this is only our first Software & Technology supplement , and we ’ re sure it won ’ t be the last .
In fact , by the time you read this , they ’ ll already be more updates and new ways to improve and innovate your business digitally . So , watch out for the next instalment …
See you next time , Gemma
