About TOA Technologies and ETAdirect
Founded in 2003, TOA Technologies' vision is to transform the service experience into a meaningful and memorable interaction between service provider and customer - whether that customer is a person waiting at home for an installation, service or delivery, a doctor anticipating the repair of a life-saving medical device or a telecommunication providers' cell tower in need of immediate maintenance.

TOA Technologies is the leading provider of field service and mobile workforce management software solutions. ETAdirect, the only complete cloud application suite, measures everything that happens in the field, down to the minutest details of work and travel, and creates unique performance pattern profiles for each and every person in the field - a veritable work fingerprint. Using a proprietary and patented statistical analysis engine, it predicts when things will happen and how long they will take to do in the future. Using these predictions, ETAdirect holistically manages the entire service delivery process from start to finish: from the moment an appointment or service is requested, through planning, routing and scheduling, to real-time customer communications and field management. To support a broad spectrum of fieldwork, mobile employees use the most advanced and flexible HTML5-based mobility app available to support projects as well as context-aware collaboration.

With its groundbreaking technology, unique approach to field to service management and the shared knowledge of its expertise, ETAdirect and TOA Technologies consistently reduce costs while dramatically enhancing the customer experience for companies around the world.
