The new Makita Mobile App has some features that their users will certainly appreciate. Fans of the Makita brand will be excited to find that there is a “New Tools” page that will give customers and distributors information about tool releases. As an additional help to customers and to help dealers with sales, there is a calculator that offers potential cost savings when considering the MM4 Power Cutter. You may recall that Makita introduced the MM4 as the world’s first four stroke power cutter.
A shopping feature will take you to the nearby Makita dealers along with providing a map, or can direct you to an online dealer. Current tool owners are the big winners with the new Makita Mobile App. On it they will find a window to register their tools and a map to the nearest Authorized Service Centers.
My personal favorite that is included is a Feature Window. This one really hits some of the culture of the company behind the tools. Makita gives you inside looks at new technology, promotions, and even athlete/teams sponsored by Makita.
Finally, there is also a QR scanner, links to Makita social media pages, and a frequently asked questions page arranged by tool.
“Contractors need fast access to content that tells them the very latest from Makita, as well as where to buy, which tools they’ve registered, and where to find a service center,” said Brent Withey, director of marketing, Makita USA. “The Makita Mobile App does all of this, and more.”
The Makita Mobile App is available on Google Play for Android users and the App Store for Apple customers at no charge. I went to install it, but sadly my phone isn’t running a high enough version of Android to be compatible. That’s what I get for using a 3 year old phone in a world where technology improves on a weekly basis.
