Introducing ASD Mobile
A powerful new iPhone App
developed by ASD –
Answering Service for Directors
Media,
PA—ASD – Answering Service for Directors has recently launched a sophisticated
iPhone application to help funeral professionals conduct more business
on-the-go. The app was created as a mobilized one-stop solution for clients to
manage their ASD account. With ASD Mobile directors that use iPhones can access
messages, update service/obituary information, change their on-call status and
more, all with the touch of a button!
At
the recent NFDA/CANA convention in Chicago, funeral professionals gathered at
ASD's booth to see a live demonstration of the iPhone application. Many were
excited about the convenience and speed that the app would bring to their
funeral home's daily operations. After several months of careful planning and
testing, ASD Mobile went live on Monday, December 12th. ASD clients can download
the app at no cost on Apple's iPhone app store.
The versatile application allows clients to hear and read all aspects of every
call handled by ASD and respond to messages with their iPhone to reduce their
funeral home's billable calls. Clients with more than one location have the
ability to seamlessly manage multiple accounts with ease. ASD Mobile streamlines
funeral home operations by providing one-click access for directors to update
service/obituary information, change their on-call details and retrieve the
contact information of other employees.
Within 24 hours of the application's launch, it was reviewed by a funeral
professional on Apple's online app store: “In a matter of two minutes I was able
to download and log in to this awesome app. ASD Mobile is a very quick, simple
way to manage everything that our on-call attendants would ever need. From
changing on-call order to managing obituaries to checking incoming calls, this
app even offers caller ID. It's a real light app and doesn't take up a whole lot
of phone memory. It doesn't make the phone drag. I've tried it on the iPhone 4
and the iPhone 3 and it works great across the board. This is a great addition
to ASD's already easy-to-use web interface. It deserves 10 stars.”
The 24/7 demands of the funeral profession require that directors embrace the
latest technology and mobile tools to run their business efficiently. ASD's
iPhone App joins the company's other cutting-edge features, including Smart
Text, First Call Connect, and Email Messaging. These advanced technical options
were designed with the lifestyle of the 21st century funeral professional in
mind and help directors that regularly use web-capable phones to maintain better
control over their business.
According to Family Member Owner Kevin Czachor, “We built everything from the
ground up with perfection as our goal. The iPhone application is just another
example ASD's commitment to excellence that our clients have come to expect.”
By creating this virtual hub, ASD has made it simpler than ever for funeral
professionals to manage their business at any hour of day or night. ASD
anticipates an Android application will be released in the coming months. To
