Arriscraft goes mobile

Words: Marta ZonneveldArriscraft, a General Shale Company, continues its commitment to customer support and industry leadership with a cross-platform mobile website that enables users to plan, calculate and install on the go. The mobile site launch follows a recent redesign of the main website, finessed to improve access to the product information and technical support customers need every day.

“We recognize that our customers in the building and design industry require quick access to our product information wherever they may be working. Our new mobile website addresses this need for instant access and also follows our commitment to digital communications that helps reduce printed materials,” comments Glen Frankling, Vice-President of Sales and Distribution.

Arriscraft decided to leverage a web-based, cross-platform design, with mobile-specific content and tools, that operates on Android, Blackberry® and iPhone® devices, including iPads® and generic tablets. “Our focus is customer support: we carefully developed key information and tools on a cross-platform mobile site that allows everyone access,” says Marta Zonneveld, Marketing Manager at Arriscraft.

The mobile website features a photo gallery, complete product overview, technical installation guides and video links, dealer locator, key literature, as well as a proprietary building stone calculator for estimating material requirements. Users can also quickly access Arriscraft’s social media accounts for the most current updates, news and events.
