Project Overview

The goal was to provide a media-centric mobile workflow solution using smartphones and tablets, enabling business owners to take control of their management processes no matter where they are. Our initial focus were tradesmen who would benefit through the streamlined management, scheduling and dispatch, invoicing and paperless reporting. We have since then shifted our focus to tracking which included job tracking, invoicing, transparent communication and team monitoring.
