Independent contracting is a challenging profession that faces unique business challenges every day. The specific challenges faced by plumbing industry and other contractors can be made easier with the help of assisted reality.
Plumbers have to work long hours, responding to emergency calls and getting to various locations quickly to perform essential works. Often their work takes place in cramped, dirty and even dangerous corners of the building, and it requires a specific precision to ensure longevity of their solutions.
The biggest challenge plumbing businesses face today is being unable to find qualified workers who deliver good results, which could cost plumbing businesses the opportunity to achieve higher productivity and profitability.
