WASHINGTON, September 15 /PRNewswire/ --

TOA Technologies (TOA), the leading provider of software solutions for companies managing a mobile workforce, today announced that it received the prestigious "Most Innovative CRM Vendor of the Year" award at the Gartner Customer Relationship Management Summit in Washington D.C. Gartner conference attendees selected TOA for its innovative technology solutions focused on delivering an outstanding customer experience.

Attendees chose TOA as Gartner's Most Innovative CRM Vendor of the Year for demonstrating a unique Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution which enhances the customer experience while improving operational efficiencies.

TOA's software solution combines advanced Web-based mobility and dispatch tools, predictive intelligence, and interactive customer communications to provide the ultimate customer appointment experience. TOA's intelligent, predictive engine allows service providers to accurately estimate a technician or service/delivery person's Time Of Arrival (TOA) narrowing the customer's wait window to 60 minutes with 96 percent accuracy and then proactively communicating this information via any communications device.

"We are delighted to have received this prestigious award. TOA is the only mobile workforce management solution to provide a holistic experience for our client's customers, providing outgoing push information and collecting interactive, actionable real-time feedback at every stage of the customer service continuum -- from pre-appointment planning to post-appointment satisfaction," noted Yuval Brisker, president and CEO of TOA.
