Industry White Paper for

ConstructionAnyone in the construction industry can appreciate how instant communication keeps projects on time and on budget. It’s why the construction industry was one of the earliest adopters of push-to-talk (PTT) technologies on mobile phones. !However, as mobile technology has moved forward, PTT has been stuck in the past. That is, until now. Voxer Business brings push-to-talk into the modern age, is available for most smartphones, and gives more capability and flexibility than any other instant communication solution on the market.

Problems with Traditional Push-to-Talk The core functionality of PTT is incredibly useful, however its live-only state offers limited capability. When communication is “live-only” (e.g. two-way radios, cell phone PTT, phone calls) everyone is continuously interrupted, and if an employee is unavailable, important information can be lost and huge delays are possible. !Traditional push-to-talk also requires expensive hardware that’s often outdated. Radios can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars a piece and have extended costs associated with maintenance. It’s no surprise that companies now want to utilize the latest mobile technology to solve their communication challenges - phones are smarter and cheaper than ever before, and in many cases employees already own one. !Voxer Business is redefining push-to-talk for the construction industry, bringing the best of live voice to today’s smart devices. !All Voice is Live and Recorded, and Combined with Multimedia A team can keep in contact easily with Voxer Business. Unlike traditional push-to-talk which is dependent on availability, Voxer Business makes sure that if someone is unavailable when you try to reach them, the information will be saved as a message for later listening or viewing. !You can also send text, photos and your location with Voxer Business, making it a much more flexible communication tool than traditional PTT or radios. !Make Your Smartphone Work Better Than A Two-Way Radio Many times you need to exchange information without juggling a phone. Voxer Business features Walkie Talkie Mode which allows the message to stream right out of the phone, even if the phone is asleep. A worker can also use a wireless speaker and hear chats stream live as messages come in. Voxer Business also features Extreme Notifications - loud, repetitive alerts for any incoming messages you don’t want to miss - perfect for noisy job sites.

There’s no faster way to connect workers and

managers on and off site than Voxer Business.

With traditional PTT, if an employee is unavailable, huge delays are possible.

Create Teams for Quick Group Communication There’s no faster way to connect workers and managers on and off site than Voxer Business. You can easily add all the members of your crew or projects into the Voxer Business Manager, our administrative tool. Employees can then be organized into ‘Teams’ (functional distribution lists) that populate the contacts list of employees using Voxer Business on their iPhone, Android or Windows Phone or desktop.

Use Voxer Business Anywhere Since Voxer Business works over cell data or WiFi, it gives construction crews the flexibility they need on the job site. Workers in the field can communicate from their phones, iPods, tablets or a desktop browser. Problems with range or obstacles obstructing line-of sight are no longer a consideration for companies with Voxer Business. !Many construction zones suffer from radio dead spots and poor cellular phone service. At times, there is no connectivity until the construction crew builds it. Voxer Business works seamlessly as you move between areas of great connectivity and no connectivity. When you have no connection, Voxer Business saves messages to your device until your connection is restored. Our servers also hold incoming messages until your device has connectivity to receive them. !International functionality and recorded conversations also make it easy to coordinate with an architect or engineer who could be many time zones away from your construction site. When problems arise, time differences can make it difficult to have a phone conversation, and email may not be available. With Voxer Business, you can immediately send a message several time zones away and get a response when he or she is available. You no longer have to worry about coordinating conference calls, or leaving the site to send an email. !Monitor Multiple Conversations with Voxer for Web Voxer for Web is an innovative new addition to the Voxer Business service that allows any user to monitor multiple conversations from your computer’s web browser. Instead of having to toggle back and forth from different chats, any person stationed at a computer is able to see multiple conversations as they come in. Voxer for Web is a great way for a project manager, foreman or any individual in an office to manage different teams at a job site, or keep up with different events happening at multiple job sites.
