Expanding language functionality on its native mobile app for Bolt, ECI opens the lines of communication for Spanish-speaking trade contractors who work with English-speaking home builders
ECI Software Solutions, a global provider of cloud-based business management software and services, today announced new Spanish-language enhancements on its native mobile app for Bolt™, its trade contractor scheduling and job management software. The enhancement improves communication between both English- and Spanish-speaking professionals, providing more inclusive and effective services for small- to medium-sized trade contractors working with builders in the new residential construction industry.
“The expanded language capabilities are momentous for new residential construction, considering the Bolt mobile trade contractor software provides all trade contractors with project management and scheduling functionality to manage their business, reduce wasted trips, and track and collect extra purchase orders,” said Scott Duman, president, RHC Division at ECI Software Solutions. “Not only does this update make the app more inclusive, it also eliminates miscommunication and false starts while opening the qualified contractor pool—from electricians to masons and everything in between.”
“In addition to greater inclusivity and reduced miscommunication, the Bolt Spanish-language capability also improves productivity and overall efficiency,” said Bob Cain, business unit leader, BuildTools & Bolt at ECI Software Solutions. “Communication is the most important part of residential home construction, and empowering trade contractors to manage field operations—from schedules through time tracking—in their preferred language on an individual basis has proven to be extremely impactful.”
The Spanish-language enhancement is fully integrated into the Bolt software, empowering trade contractors to have personalized language settings, opting for either English or Spanish based on user preferences. Trade contractors can also interchange these language capabilities, allowing for a more comprehensive user experience.
“The ability for our team members to be able to choose to use Bolt in Spanish or English on their cellphones has dramatically improved communications,” said Tammie Robertson, controller at Proven Electrical Services LLC and a Bolt user. “No more confusion or numerous phone calls to ask questions. We chose Bolt for our business because it makes managing all our jobs so much easier, and being able to clearly communicate in Spanish or English is the icing on the cake!”
