<h2>What does AyaNova mean?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's not as mysterious as you might think: When we
|
|
needed to apply for a legal trademark for our customer
|
|
service software we had to use a unique word that would
|
|
not conflict with anyone else's trademark.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Being the computer geeks that we are, we wrote a program
|
|
that generated millions of pronounceable words out of 8
|
|
random letters or less, and then checked to see if used
|
|
elsewhere.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Likely words were then short listed for us. We thought
|
|
AyaNova sounded "cool" and it stuck. We pronounce it
|
|
<strong>A</strong>-ya-nova (like the immortal phrase of
|
|
that famous auto service technician
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonzie">Fonzie</a
|
|
>), but that's just us.

<h2>How did AyaNova come about?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AyaNova® grew out of our own internal
|
|
<b>work order and customer service software</b>
|
|
application which we had developed for our own use in
|
|
our company's repair shop and field service division
|
|
when we found that there was no suitable customer
|
|
service software available on the market that was
|
|
affordable to us as a (then) small computer customer
|
|
service business.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Our needs were just as complex as they are for larger
|
|
businesses: we needed to dispatch technicians generate
|
|
computerized work orders, control our service expenses,
|
|
track our customers and how many billable hours, parts
|
|
and third party service expenses we were providing to
|
|
them; however there was nothing affordable that
|
|
addressed all the needs of a busy service and repair
|
|
shop.
|
|

|
title="Image of the very old AyaNova 1.x Schedule screen from the 90's"
|
|

|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We built our own work order and customer service
|
|
software originally in 1995 and continued to improve it
|
|
over the years adding features like preventative
|
|
maintenance scheduling, service and repair scheduling
|
|
customer equipment database and tracking, special
|
|
project management, customizable work orders for
|
|
different departments, searchable knowledgebase,
|
|
integration with QuickBooks, remote access via a web
|
|
browser so that remote technicians could enter work
|
|
orders search the database, check their dispatch
|
|
schedule and much more.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We realized that what worked for us just might be useful
|
|
to others and so we put all our knowledge and experience
|
|
gained working one on one with regular computer users on
|
|
a daily basis both in our custom software development
|
|
and computer service divisions into our customer service
|
|
software program and published it publicly and
|
|
trademarked it shortly after 2000.

|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
AyaNova® customer service software has since become
|
|
popular way beyond our expectations with excellent sales
|
|
globally and now many lesser imitators.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
From the start we decided that even though we were
|
|
publishing customer service software to the whole world
|
|
we would use a fresh approach to customer service
|
|
software design using the same highly successful methods
|
|
learned through years of building custom software much
|
|
of it for service related industries.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We believe in giving people what they actually need, not
|
|
what we think they need and we continue to encourage our
|
|
customers to give us feedback on every aspect of the
|
|
program. Over time we have "grown"
|
|
AyaNova® into a complete work order and customer
|
|
service software application with hundreds of truly
|
|
useful and unique features suggested by people "in
|
|
the trenches" of service management from around the
|
|
world.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As we continue to grow our philosophy remains the same:
|
|
<b
|
|
>highest quality, easy to use repair shop / work
|
|
order / customer service software</b
|
|
>
|
|
served up with personal service at an affordable price.
