Challenge01

Construction and facilities teams were running critical work in spreadsheets, printouts, and WhatsApp — with no accountable trail.

Work orders lived in a different place to the people doing the work. Site supervisors were copying photos between three apps. Every monthly report was a forensic reconstruction. The industry needed a tool built for boots, not boardrooms.

Solution02

A mobile-first work management platform with offline capture, photo-in-context, and an office-side operations console.

One app for the site, one console for the office, one audit trail for everyone else. Designed to be opened with gloves on and a cracked screen.

Process04
01Field research

Three weeks on-site with crews across construction, FM and transport. Every feature on the roadmap survived a muddy glove.

02Prototype

An interactive mobile prototype used by two pilot crews before a single production line of code.

03MVP Build

Offline-first mobile app with Supabase sync. First paid pilot onboarded in week ten.

04Office Console

The operations view — planner, audit log, and live site map — built to replace three tabs of a spreadsheet.

05Go-to-market

Pricing, onboarding, and self-serve sign-up. Beta closed, paid tier opens Q3.

Result05

Pilot crews replaced three tools with one and cut monthly reporting from a day to an hour.

Still in closed beta, but the leading indicators are unusually strong: a fifteen-minute setup, ninety-percent weekly active use on the mobile app, and zero printouts left on site.

The first app our site supervisors have ever asked to use. That's the entire review.
