Serious business apps

Don’t let all the buzz deceive you: apps can have a very serious business side.
At Glide Strategic we specialise in apps that deliver database driven services.
Imagine, for example, a business that does safety installations or checks on building sites.
The worker is supposed to make notes of what they have done, but often the notes are inadequate and there are disputes over work and charges.
So Glide provides an integrated phone/web app, installed on phone used by every worker.

Now when they arrive at a site workers take a “before” pic, using their phone. They can even look up records of past visits to this site.They photograph each job again when it is finished. They can even take a scan quality image of a bar code. They enter a few notes via their phone (or a pad if more notes are required). GPS coordinates and a time stamp are added automatically by the app and the data is sent to a web-based database.
Now there’s no dispute.

Better still, their client can log in securely and check all their records, anytime they want. So the client is happy, because they are getting better service. Disputes are reduced. And time is saved, so costs are reduced.

App-based efficiency pays off in all directions!
