The means of communication between manufacturers, builders and their clients is constantly changing. Guardian is unmistakably at the forefront of modern information delivery with their new mobile app, something that is not common in the building materials industry, but should be. An incredibly efficient, informative and unique means of delivering information to builders, architects, clients and sales staff in the field, the new app is a blueprint for the industry to follow when it comes to staying in touch with your client base.

Guardian SunGuard manufactures commercial low-E coated solar control glass in a wide variety of colors. It is both popular and high performing. Now consumers and contractors considering SunGuard as an option can download the company’s new mobile app on iPhones, iPads and Android devices.

The app gives users access to photos of SunGuard projects and information about the projects—including technical specs, performance data, the responsible architectural firm, glazier, fabricator and location. Because it’s integrated with the device’s GPS, users are also able to access walking or driving directions so they can see the project in real life—an opportunity that can tell them much more about the product than simply seeing a picture or reading a brochure.

Chris Dolan, the director of commercial marketing at SunGuard explains that the app is crucial to giving business partners and clients the information they need in the form they prefer and with the new app, these users are able to see the product first hand and access information using their own mobile devices. While online information is useful, it’s not a primary means of communication for most businesspeople, who depend heavily on their mobile devices for quick, easy access to information. Guardian has managed to stay ahead of the curve by providing this type of access to their clients.
