Finally, the first of hopefully many\u00a0posts to come from either one of us, the ownership duo\u00a0here at\u00a0Rival Solutions.<\/a>\u00a0 For those not familiar with us personally, you can discover who we are through our profiles (Claude<\/a>,\u00a0Rob<\/a>). \u00a0Time has flown by and we are already in our third year since the inception of the company in April of 2013. \u00a0At that\u00a0time, we launched our very first smartphone app (rRuf<\/a>) which\u00a0measures road roughness using an iPhone (shown to the right). \u00a0This app has since been used all over the world for applications including paved road analysis, gravel road monitoring, and even sidewalk condition audits. \u00a0 We have\u00a0accomplished\u00a0so much more since then and intend to use this\u00a0blog to get information out to you as fast as we can. Typically, this will relate to the latest and greatest news on our products, our progress and growth as a company, as well as\u00a0other\u00a0interesting\u00a0things we can think of that may or may not revolve around the age-old hockey rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadians (see what I did there?). Anyway, we are on a great run and want to continue to share our ability\u00a0to help solve as many problems as we possibly can.<\/p>\n

We may also tend to use this forum to offer technical guidance with respect to our overall RUBIX<\/a>\u00a0solution as\u00a0we\u00a0continue to assemble a more robust and self-sufficient support system. \u00a0These posts will generally relate to more common questions we get, so for you\u00a0users out there, make sure you check in from time to time to see what is new on the technical side here.<\/p>\n

Do not hesitate to contact us<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n
