ServiceLive Offers First Mobile Home Project Management for People 'on the go'

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- ServiceLive.com, the first true online marketplace for home services, today announced the launch of its free ServiceLive application for iPhone, allowing busy homeowners and professionals a way to communicate and manage their service projects on the go. From computer repairs to plumbing woes, ServiceLive's brand-new mobile platform, and newly re-launched Web site, give people the power to change the way they get their services done.

ServiceLive provides users across the U.S. an intuitive platform to access local, background-checked service professionals in a dynamic marketplace. The site design and easy-to-use functions ensure competitive pricing through name-your-price or open bidding options, meaningful referrals through ServiceLive-only user ratings, seamless and transparent communication, and complete project management. With the newly added convenience of the iPhone mobile application, ServiceLive users can use their iPhones to see their bid details and history, post or respond to new communications, and upload and view images – with an intuitively designed and highly responsive interface.

"One thing we have really learned about our customers is that they are busy and need every extra convenience we can offer them," said George Coll, senior vice president of New Services, Sears Holdings. "Mobile applications and social plug-ins, including the iPhone application, are an important part of our current development plan to ensure we are making ServiceLive the most convenient and headache-free option for busy people today. Our Israel R&D team is working to release mobile applications for Blackberry and Android smart phones soon."

ServiceLive, backed by Sears Holdings, launched in beta form last year and has quietly amassed a dedicated following, with tens of thousands of transactions a week and nearly 40,000 professionals registered to date. In addition to homeowners and service business owners, the ServiceLive marketplace is trusted and used by leading retailers, warranty companies and manufacturers.  

The ServiceLive application for iPhone is available for download for free in the iTunes store. Additional mobile applications and social plug-ins will soon be available.
