Welcome to our Update Center where we post information about new features, updates, and modifications that we do in The Customer Factor. We do updates constantly. As they say, “if you’re not constantly trying to improve, then you’re going backwards”. Since 2004 we’ve introduced hundreds of new features and have made countless modifications. And we plan on creating a slew of new features such as online booking, a customer portal, a map screen, route optimization, and much more. We have a white board in our office that is constantly being kept busy.

You’ll see categories on the right along with recent posts, so click around, enjoy, and check back frequently. This is the place to visit if you need more information or just want to review more about what The Customer Factor has to offer.

Best Regards,

Steve Wright
