The Building Systems business of BASF today announced the release of a Flooring Installation Solution Application for use with BlackBerry® smartphones.
The application is designed to bring immediate, accurate answers to flooring installers on the jobsite, where computer access and reference materials may not be readily available.
The tool allows users to find product information, locate a BASF distributor, calculate flooring needs, and utilize the Flooring Wizard to select the appropriate product.
“With this tool, we are providing answers to our customers in their pocket on the jobsite, not back at the office,” stated Joe Hostler, Flooring Surfaces National Sales Manager for BASF. “We are helping flooring contractors to do their job faster and better by providing all the information they need on a mobile device.”
The “Get Product Info” function provides customers with instant access to Product Data Sheets, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design) Product Information letters. When a state is selected in “Find a Distributor”, the program provides a list of local BASF distributors along with contact information. Users can call or email the distributor directly from the application. The Flooring Calculator allows for square foot, square yard, pitch and metric measurements to calculate product needs instantly.
The Flooring Wizard recommends a BASF product solution based on a short series of questions. The Wizard will ask questions regarding the substrate and product needs and make a recommendation based on the user’s answers. From the product page users can obtain product literature.
