Xora, A ClickSoftware Company, Wins THINKstrategies' Best Of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award

Cloud-Based Enterprise Work Management Solution Fosters Improved Efficiency, Increased Sales and Lower Costs

Xora, a ClickSoftware Company, recently announced that it was named a winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award, administered by THINKstrategies’ Cloud Computing Showplace to recognize Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies that are delivering measurable business benefits – such as increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability – to specific user organizations.

“Reducing operating costs while improving constituent satisfaction is a critical objective for every municipality and business today,” said Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies. “Xora’s cloud-based solution enables organizations to achieve these objectives quickly and demonstrate their value easily.”

Xora was honored for its mobile workforce management solutions, which are used by more than 15,000 organizations in almost 20 industries including, construction, communications and utilities, field services, healthcare, public sector, and transportation and distribution. Specifically THINKStrategies cited measurable business benefits achieved by the Town of Cheektowaga, N.Y., which used Xora’s solutions to track the locations of its 70-person highway department crew as they maintained 400 roads, and managed snow and ice removal and leaf pickup. Xora enabled the town to track vehicle locations; analyze driver routes, stops and drive time; improve fleet productivity; and leverage geo-fencing to more effectively balance its workload. All totaled, the Town of Cheektowaga saved about $100,000 a year through use of Xora’s solutions.

Xora’s applications are designed to help any organization that has mobile employees increase productivity on the road and in the office; reduce fuel, mileage and labor costs; improve customer satisfaction and drive new revenue. Because of its cloud-based service delivery model, Xora’s solutions are easy to use, cost-effective to deploy and integrate with back-office systems.

“We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies for the measurable business benefits we are delivering to our customers,” said Howard Latham, vice president of Sales and Customer Success at Xora. “Our customers need to show quantifiable benefits for any investment they make and our solution was designed with that in mind. Whether it is a reduction in costs through productivity improvements or an increase in revenue because of greater customer satisfaction, Xora can clearly show that it delivers a strong return on investment.”
