We just returned from GlassBuild America 2008 in Las Vegas and despite the poor economic conditions the attendance at the event was healthy and the mood was positive.
GTS had a lot to unveil at this year's show and it was a great opportunity for us to get feedback from customers and prospects:
One-of-a-kind partnership with GDS Storefront Estimating that now connects GDS output with the Job Management Module within GlasPacLX Glazier Edition
http://www.scoremywebsite.com/ that lets you score your website on 100 critical optimization criteria..and best of all, it rates your site specifically against the competition in your industry
Currently released enhancements to our Glazier Edition and Microsoft Dynamics GP Financials Partnership
New commercial glazing features scheduled for release in early 2009
The feedback we received at the show was great. We were able to identify some new solutions that will drive increased efficiencies for our customers. And, most importantly our future plans for our flat glass software and Internet Marketing Services were validated. It was great to hear that we are on the right track.
Many thanks to Microsoft for joining us at the show with the "Microsoft Across America Truck" and to the NGA and GTS staff for making the show a success.
Although this was primarily a flat glass focused show it was a real treat to watch the American Master Installer Auto Glass Championship. Jeff Olive of Glasspro won the competition to become the 2008 American Master Installer Champion! And we were especially proud of this year's first-runner up, Randall Layton of Mr. Go-Glass in Delaware a long-time GTS customer. Great job Randy!
