Technology is the backbone of most industries, but the home service industry has seen its fair share of change thanks to new technologies. The advent of AI assistants, IoT devices, and mobile apps has revolutionized how we interact with our homes and make it easier for technology businesses to deliver better solutions. You might think this isn’t relevant to a plumber or electrician; however, these technological advances will also affect them. With an eye on the future, here are 10 ways new technologies could transform your industry:
AI home assistants are changing the world.
The rise of AI assistants is changing the world.
They’re not just changing how we live, work, and play; they are also helping us interact with each other in new ways.
IoT will allow for more brilliant home services.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices connected to the internet. IoT allows for the collection and analysis of data, which can then be used to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create new growth opportunities. In-home services, specifically IoT, can be used to monitor remotely-located assets such as HVAC or alarm monitoring systems (among others). This allows technicians to check on their equipment from anywhere at any time without having to go out into the field physically-and it also helps them avoid unnecessary trips if something is working correctly!
The benefits don’t stop there: with remote monitoring comes automation, which means less work for you! For example: did you know intelligent thermostats can automatically adjust based on weather conditions? Or maybe your security system will alert you when there’s unusual activity in your home while no one’s at home (like if someone opens an unlocked window). That way if anything happens while no one is there, they’ll still know about it right away so they can handle whatever situation arose before things escalate too far out of control.”
The Internet of Things (IoT) transforms our lives, works, and plays.
The Internet of Things (IoT) transforms our lives, works, and plays. The IoT is a network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment.
IoT is a way for us to connect and our surroundings in new ways. It can be used in homes and businesses, allowing people to remotely control everything from their lights to heating using an app on their phone or computer.
The tech industry is making considerable strides in improving efficiency and providing better solutions.
The home service industry is growing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs in this sector has increased by more than 50% since 1990, with an average annual growth rate of 3%.
The tech industry is making considerable strides in improving efficiency and providing better solutions for consumers, businesses, and employees. Here are just a few ways that tech companies are changing the game:
Mobile apps make life easier.
Mobile apps are making life easier for home service providers. Apps are a great way to interact with customers, provide real-time information, and support your business. Here’s what you need to know:
- Mobile apps make it easy for your customers to book appointments or communicate with you when they have questions or concerns about their service.
- Your app can provide them with information about services offered by your company-including pricing details-so they don’t have to call or email just for that info anymore!
- You can also use mobile apps to provide customer support if someone needs help before or after their scheduled appointment time (or even while onsite). This can include scheduling future appointments through the app rather than having someone go back into their calendar after speaking with someone over the phone, sending reminders about upcoming work dates, allowing customers access to their account settings without having them remember passwords, etcetera… The possibilities do seem endless here once again!
Voice-activated technology is a more effective form of interaction.
Voice-activated technology is a more effective form of interaction.
Voice command technology allows you to control your home services with your voice, which is more efficient and accurate than typing. Voice command technology also makes it easier for people with disabilities to interact with their homes and devices and those who can’t read or write English.
3D printing has many uses in the world of home services.
3D printing is a way to print objects in three dimensions. It’s a technology that has many uses in the world of home services, including:
- 3D-printed houses (a la “The Jetsons”)
- Customized furniture and other household items
3D printing may be used for these purposes in the future as well.
Augmented reality allows consumers to design their dream homes without stepping inside them first.
Augmented reality is a computer-generated environment that is overlaid in the real world. It allows people to see how a home would look before they buy it or even design new home layouts and decor themselves.
The technology can also be used to design furniture and accessories, helping homeowners find what they want for their space without stepping inside any stores.
Expect new technologies to change your industry shortly
As technology continues to advance, it’s only natural that it will impact your industry. We can expect new technologies to transform our homes and businesses shortly.
One of these changes will be AI home assistants like Alexa and Google Home, which allow us to control our smart home devices without lifting a finger. This means that you’ll be able to create schedules for lights automatically turn on when it gets dark outside or even ask them questions like “what’s my schedule today?” These devices are also equipped with cameras to act as security systems!
Another huge change coming up is the IoT (Internet of Things). The Internet of Things refers broadly speaking to connecting any device with an on/off switch (like lights) or sensors (like motion detectors) onto networks so they can share data between themselves as well as be remotely monitored by humans via mobile applications called gateways/cloud services.”
