The AtomJump time zone calculator or timulator as it is known, has had it’s business structure developed further. Under the new subscription arrangement, there are now two versions: a free personal and non-profit edition, and a business edition for profit-making firms. This is inline with the fact that it is an ongoing service that AtomJump are providing for it’s customers.
The software comes in the form of a link that dynamically identifies where a site’s reader or e-mail recipient is from, and displays the open-hours of the owner in the time zone of the reader. This helps avoid the inevitable confusion that different daylight savings times and different time-zones have on communication across large distances.
The tool is already in use on dozens of websites, and hundreds of e-mail users have signed up. Key business users of the tool include hotels, e-commerce sites, and travel companies. Many firms have open hours that don’t span 24 hours, and they are losing customers to their competitors during this off-period if the call is not answered. Other small home-run firms are tired of getting calls in the middle of the night.
The timulator is available to business users at a standard rate of $US20 per month, but if you’re reading this post there is a discount code of ‘maxtrade’ which offers an ongoing 20% discount.
