FINDING THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB:

TELERIK HELPS SERVUSXCHANGE BUILD AN AWARD-WINNING PLATFORM

ServusXchange, with its flagship product MyOnlineToolbox, was chosen by Telerik to be a featured Case Study for the technology solutions it is bringing to the remodeling and construction industries.

It started with a simple idea: come up with a way to connect contractors with their customers, suppliers, and subcontractors quickly and easily, while streamlining paperwork and enabling better lead management.   But how? It was a question for which Brian Javeline, co-founder of ServusXchange, LLC, thought he had an answer.

“If you’re a contractor, you’re not in the same place at the same time every day; you’re out at job sites, meeting customers, and talking to your vendors. But you still need to get the paperwork done – plans, estimates, invoices – in order for your business to run properly,” notes Javeline. “Contractors need a way to connect with their customers, as well as employees, vendors, and subs, no matter their location or the time of day. Creating an Internet-based application was the obvious answer.”  And with that, ServusXchange's “MyOnlineToolbox”, was born.

However, turning this inventive idea into innovative reality meant finding just the right software development tools for the job. To the team’s surprise, a single vendor appeared to have all of the answers for their development needs: Telerik, a leading provider of end-to-end software development lifecycle and content management solutions. With development tools in place, the ServusXchange development team concentrated on bringing to life the combined vision of the company’s founders and investors.

The rapid success of MyOnlineToolbox has captured the attention of customers and the media alike, and focused the spotlight on ServusXchange. In 2008, the young company received a Dell Top 10 Innovator Award, which was swiftly followed by with a Forbes America’s Most Promising Company Award in 2009.
