Although tablets and smartphones have not been around that long it seems as though they have become a necessity. For the most part they make us more productive unless we are playing a video game. Tablets have become a very efficient tool in the automotive industry. Many service repair facilities have discovered that tablet devices have high value to their business. Not only are they relatively inexpensive compared to a PC, but they also are more mobile. Some tablets have a better battery life than others; so it is extremely important to ask questions before you purchase one. Technicians are gravitating to having a tablet at their side instead of a printout of a repair procedure, which allows them to take their repair information source to the vehicle, right where they need it.
ProDemand has been optimized specifically for tablet devices to give users greater ability to access repair information right at the vehicle, where they need it most. Compatible with both Android and Apple tablet devices, new ProDemand Mobile supports portrait and landscape views and has been adjusted for the limited screen space that is available on a tablet device with a seven-inch or larger screen
Accessing ProDemand on your tablet is very similar to how you access ProDemand on your desktop computer. Simply open a browser and navigate to www.prodemand.com. As you move the tablet, ProDemand will automatically adjust to the landscape or portrait view, but I suggest you use the “screen lock” feature to lock your tablet screen in landscape mode for best viewing. You can use all the “touch friendly” gestures you’re accustomed to using on your smartphone and tablet: press and hold, swipe, tap, and zoom (pinch and stretch).
