If you talked to the folks at Herman ProAV at last year’s Infocomm event you might remember them being really excited about their upcoming Herman Pocket Engineer app designed to facilitate a project needs analysis.
Chris Bianchet, president of Integration Services said the app will give integrators “the ability to have an engineer in their pocket.”
At InfoComm 2015 integrators can see that ability firsthand as the Herman Pocket Engineer app is demonstrated at the Herman booth (No. 4770).
Here’s Bianchet talking to CI editor Tom LeBlanc about the Herman Pocket Engineer:
More from Herman:
Herman, the leading nationwide provider of professional AV products, procurement services and labor resources to systems integrators in the commercial AV and broadcast industries, announced today the presentation of a new pre-sales engineering solution, the Herman Pocket Engineer™ app.
The Pocket Engineer (PE) app allows systems integration sales professionals to collect data needed to accurately and consistently quote projects in the pre-sales phase. Data is gathered in a standardized format in order for proposals to be developed and delivered to customers quicker. Engineers save valuable time by eliminating the frequent exchanges with the sales person to collect the necessary information to effectively engineer a proposal. In addition, the sales team can share images of the site with the engineer using the app.
While Pocket Engineer is set up to send the needs analysis to the system integrators’ internal engineering team, PE can also be utilized to take advantage of Herman’s industry certified engineers. When resources are tight, the needs analysis can be forwarded to Herman engineers. Herman Engineers will prepare editable, engineering documentation to complete your customer proposals within 72 hours of receipt.
“Pocket Engineer offers a unique, new approach to an age-old problem for systems integrators – providing accurate, consistent, and timely engineering quotes to customers by gathering accurate data the first time,” said Chris Bianchet, President of Herman Integration Services. “It can also release costly engineering resources to work on post sales projects rather than pre-sale unknowns. We are making this solution simple, quick and reliable, while keeping pre-sales engineering costs manageable and predictable.”
