At PipeFlo Contracting Corp we use Nova Talk to contact our crews onsite through the push-to-talk and text messaging features. The ability to group text and call has helped in organizing our crews. Sending photos through text messages allows us to quickly exchange information back and forth to provide details of what is happening in the field in real-time. PC dispatch software allows us to quickly change contact information for each phone ourselves, no IT involvement required. This is a big asset as we are changing out who is assigned to each phone quite often. In addition, the support team at Novatek has been wonderful, getting us up and running right away and addressing all of our questions very quickly.
Our employees are using the Sonim XP7 onsite. Thanks to the high-quality design, we have not had a single issue. The combination of the XP7 and Nova Talk is very easy to use. This solution has made our operations more efficient and our team more productive.

Our forklift operators, warehouse personnel, dispatchers and mechanics are using Nova Talk and Sonim's XP7. The solution works great and is simple to use. Using the built-in mapping features, we have a simple visual of where all of our team is in real-time. This is tremendously valuable, especially when trying to track our mobile mechanics. The Sonim rugged handsets have been great, extremely durable and an all-around excellent device.
