"TOA is leading innovation in the field service and mobile workforce management software space. This is the message that Gartner sent out to the world last week,” said Yuval Brisker, cofounder and CEO of TOA Technologies.

“Our brilliant team has pioneered change in every aspect of enterprise mobility and field service management. We built the first and only completely cloud-based enterprise mobile workforce management software platform. We broke the barriers of mobile applications with the first fully browser-based HTML5 app with complete offline capabilities. And in doing so, we created the world's most durable, scalable and reliable end-to-end platform for managing mobile employees," said Brisker.

Using ETAdirect, TOA clients can save an average of $18,000 per mobile worker annually, typically complete up to 47 percent more jobs per day and achieve 98 percent or higher customer satisfaction ratings.

"TOA has brought to market a unique combination of predictive analytics and a keen focus on the customer experience. We are honored that Gartner chose to recognize TOA's many layers of bold and innovative thinking, and particularly our focus on execution that we’ve been perfecting over the years,” said Brisker.

As noted in the report, TOA is "an innovator in product delivery, field service pattern detection and work stream optimization," and offers the only complete, end-to-end, web-based, enterprise-class solution on the market today. ETAdirect currently manages more than 60 million appointments annually for many global name brands, such as Cox Communications, Virgin Media, Cablevision, UPC, Suddenlink Communications, Bright House Networks and Arhaus Furniture, among others in the cable/broadband, telecom, insurance, home services and retail industries.

“Our most important asset is our relationship with our customers, and our 100 percent track record of integration and delivery success is where the rubber meets the road. We are proud and grateful that Gartner has recognized our continued vision for the fifth straight year in the Field Service Management Magic Quadrant. TOA's sustained focus on innovation without compromise, and our strong revenue growth continues to propel the company further towards total command of our market,” said Brisker.
