One of the biggest mistakes a company can make is to go by the phrase ‘We have always done this before’. Continuing with processes that have been used for years may seem like a good idea and the thought of implementing change is often worrying. The enormous benefits of moving with the times and making small adjustments here and there will be overlooked and never realised if a business does not actively make the effort to change and improve.

More and more businesses are realising the importance of mobilising their workforce to become efficient and stay up to date with the fast paced, competitive industry in which they work. It is widely known that using mobile applications, which specifically eliminate one or more paper based processes, increases efficiency in one aspect of a business, but are not necessarily utilising the cloud to its full potential.

In recent years the world has become infatuated with everything ‘startup’. The glamour, appeal and trends of creating, or being part of, something new that has exciting prospects and levels of seemingly limitless success has lured people in and millions of businesses have popped up around the globe as a result.

Finishing university and entering the vast, varied world of work and the next stage of your life can be a very daunting prospect. Are you worried about what to do next, where you should go and who you should talk to during this time? It may seem as though those around you all have it […]

We have recently brought more new features to our platform, further enhancing our customers ability to improve productivity for their field based employees.

Many businesses with field based employees are considering the possibility of going paperless and transforming their processes into more productive, efficient, digital methods. They may, however, be hesitant due to some common misconceptions about the change to digital processes.

Motivating and empowering your employees by being a true leader is not an easy task. It is one thing to be a ‘manager’ or a ‘boss’ but becoming an influential leader that people look to and respect is a different story. There are clear differences between leadership and simply managing people, which are often overlooked.

You may have heard of similar businesses in your industry becoming mobile and transforming their traditional paper based methods into digital formats, or you might be a part of a company that is already utilising the cloud in certain divisions.

‘Why fix it if it ain’t broke?’ It is no surprise that a company in an industry such as construction, where traditional methods have been implemented for years and years, are resistant to change. It makes sense to stick with what you know, unless there is good reason to update and keep up to speed […]
