The Up! Network is expanding its service outside of the U.S. and will be available in both Mexico and Canada. According to the company, the network provides a direct link for industrial manufacturers to find service technicians for industrial machine maintenance and repair.
“We were seeing an increase in the number of users requesting service options for Mexico and Canada,” said Dave Rhodes, general manager for Up!. The company says that Mexico’s prominence in industrial manufacturing combined with requests from machinists in Mexico and Canada made this expansion a natural progression.
Machine tool operators in Canada and Mexico now have a dedicated source linking them to a large network of service providers, Up! states.
The Up! Network is designed to enable users to manage their maintenance schedules while also reaching out during those times when repairs are needed, resulting in less downtime. For service providers, this translates to more opportunities for growth within each market, according to the company.
“The availability of Up! in these new markets delivers dramatically expanded reach for providers and requesters being served by Up!. We are excited to be answering the call from those in our network requesting options outside the U.S. This expansion highlights our commitment to focused growth of Up!.“
The Up! Network celebrated its third birthday in January and was recently awarded a MobileWebAward from the Web Marketing Association for the Best Manufacturing Mobile Application award in the “Best of Industry” category. Since its inception, Up! has gown its user numbers while making improvements to the technology in the areas of connectivity, chat interaction and real-time video conferencing. Up! states that it is committed to working with local service providers to ensure the network continues to offer options for those needing maintenance and repair for their machine tools, while ensuring the service technicians have opportunities for expansion of their services. “It is a win-win for everyone,” Rhodes said.
