Our Customer Review

1. Adam Fraser, TCM Quarries. The beauty of it being a trailer (The BOApod) is that anyone could tow it. It's just the useability of it is just great. Being able to just make a hose when you're ready to go. We're not waiting, we just do the hoses, machines are back going. We’re not having to shuffle machines or move another machine in because that one's down. That side of the hose repair is good. 
2. Nathan Peters, NJP Logging. We don't need to rely on anyone else. It's there, it's on, it's going. Most hoses wouldn't take any longer than sort of half an hour to 45 minutes to replace with the trailer. If we were to drive from here into town it would take us three hours by the time we get the hose made and we're back on site, so probably four hours by the time you get the hose off. You're losing half a day. Everyone can see how beneficial it is to the business. 
3. Louie, ML Contracting. In a month, we are spending 25 to 30k. Now, between four and a half to five (thousand) max. It's quite a big saving to be honest. We're happy as. The trailer (The BOApod) is working for us. In the past when you're busy, you know, you got to wait until they are onsite and it's a bit of a hassle, but now with the trailer, it's easy mate. It's fully equipped from you guys.

Customer Review

1. Robbie, Burson Logging. I use the app (the BOAhub) to reorder, it's pretty good, and makes it pretty easy. You just scan a barcode and you're done. If you do the sums and that, it's well worth it. It's reduced our downtime a lot and saved us a lot of money. 
2. Terry, TG Hydraulics. BOA has made it easy and simple to get set up, such as the barcode system, and the app - everything is working in our favour. It has been fantastic.  The processes are quite simple, especially with the app and the coding. Even people that haven’t dealt with hosing before have been able to pick it up quite easily. You can just type into the app to get the equivalent code. 
3. Duanne King, Complete Field Service. Another advantage of BOA is its app. The online ordering of stock through the app, the app to find fittings you make it. You might get caught out with an odd metric fitting or something you’re not very familiar with. It's very easy to find on the app and find the specs and dimensions and find the fitting and then find stock and get stock ordered for those parts.
