Prior to voting for the New Product of the Year award, Alliance Franchise Brands staff members narrowed down each category to five finalists. Franchisee members then used the Alliance Franchise Brands convention app to vote for the winners, which recognizes vendor excellence in a variety of categories. "Our franchisee members recognize any product that offers time savings as a huge plus," says Steve Hoyle, director of franchise services for Alliance Franchise Brands Sign & Graphics Division. "Spike is an invaluable tool that helps our franchisee members conduct more surveys in a day and better manage their time. Along with the time savings Spike offers, it's also more accurate than getting on a ladder and trying to capture measurements from that angle." According to the International Sign Association's 2014 Economic Impact of the Sign and Visual Communications Industry study conducted by Ernst & Young, more than 200,000 professionals work in the U.S. sign market, and the industry as a whole purchases an estimated $10 billion in goods and services from suppliers yearly. A report from research organization IBISWorld also finds that the U.S. sign industry is projected to grow to $14 billion a year by 2020. "We're proud to offer a product that has helped so many sign shops work more efficiently and save on their bottom line," says Jeff Ross, chief marketing officer of ikeGPS. "The fact that our franchisees selected Spike for this honour means a lot to the company and shows how impactful Spike has been to the sign and digital graphics industry. Spike allows sign and digital graphics professionals to quickly capture accurate measurements of the width, height and area of signage locations from a smartphone or tablet picture. A ladder, bucket truck and tape measure are no longer required to create estimates, saving sign companies time and overhead costs on a traditionally lengthy process.
