Nearby Now is rolling out it’s exciting new iPhone app, and we need volunteers to put it to the test!
How it Works:
- Use the app to update your current location whenever you arrive a job, estimate, delivery, sales call, or even lunch.
- As you continue to update your location over time, Nearby Now shows potential customers where you are now, and a Heat Map – which effectively illustrates to potential new customers where you frequently work, and that you commonly work in their neighborhood
- Customers may contact you using integrated click-to-call technology – right from the Nearby Now map.
- The Nearby Now Power Index shows the top service companies for any area.
Here’s an example of the map in action:

Pretty cool, eh? Don’t miss this awesome opportunity to help pioneer location-based technology.
Limited Availability
Unfortunately, we only have a few dozen spots open for testers – This is a pre-appstore test, and Apple limits our ability to distribute in test mode, so…
If you are a mobile service professional with an iPhone, and would like to have customers discover your real-time location and view your actual service area heat map, please contact Billy Coover (billy@sidebox.com) or Barry Harkness (barry@sidebox.com) .
