Snappii was involved in creating the app and assisting in ensuring the information flowing inbound and outbound from the webservices was correctly linked and integrated.

Are you happy with the result?

Delays and risks steal your time and money

Precast concrete passes through several stages, from order placement, production stage, to delivery to project site. The last mentioned stage requires good supply chain management to ensure timely erection process. Disruptions can stop the work of the entire construction site. All delays and risks should be anticipated to eliminate loss of time and money. Special mobile apps help ensure that the correct elements are delivered error-free to the right place at the right time and the whole project team operate in time and budget.

Not so long ago Snappii, an outstanding business app development company, had the pleasure of working with a large enterprise from Texas – Coreslab Structures. The task was to improve project documentation, reduce delays and synchronize the entire field workflow. The collaboration has resulted in creation of unique and extremely useful Precast Erectors Planner app.

Almost 54 million seniors today make up approximately 20% of the total U.S. population. Senior care industry undergoes a significant transition. A majority of seniors prefer to be cared for in their homes. Home care services may include nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, and social work. Such care is more individual and less expensive than nursing homes with accommodation fee. This way, this field is huge and growing rapidly.

Documentation requirements and paper captivity

To be successful and productive, any home care agency should have skilled and job loving staff. However, this is not all. Modern home care agencies must be legally executed and operate in a strict accordance with the following:

– State and federal homecare regulations,

– Medicare certification or accreditation,

– Area business laws,

– and more.

All these compliances, inspections, reports, etc. require constant paperwork, costing agencies precious time, money and resources. The question is how to make sure your documentation complies with the terms and regulations and not to drown in paper? And the next question is how to focus on the patients, improvement of the care service and business growth at that very moment?

Paper-based processes hold agencies back. They should look for opportunities to streamline and automate their operations. And modern mobile technologies have a smart solution for this. Snappii, a leading mobile business app developer, is introducing an In Home Care Providers app. The app allows users to work with various documentation right on their smartphones or tablets.

Avoid paperwork and focus on the main thing

Some time ago Sunny Days In-Home Care company contacted us and asked to help optimize their work with documentation. Here is what John Bennett, Executive Director says: “Our field staff is able to collect documents and have them emailed to our office staff and stored in our cloud instantaneously. This has reduced travel back and forth to our office, mailing of documents, and scanning of documents. This has saved our company both time and money. Also, the state is constantly changing policies and we can make quick adjustments to our documentation within the app so that our staff is immediately using documents that meet the requirements for compliance. It has enabled us to scale our business at a rapid rate. We have grown quickly enough to be an Inc. 5000 company four years in a row, that wouldn’t be possible without Snappii.” This way, one app helped to cope with a significant problem and get the opportunity to focus on business development.

In Home Care Providers app is now available for everyone. It provides 30+ ready-made forms for caregivers and clients, which allows slashing the documentation time in half. Also you can add your own forms. No need to hire people to process and move paper around. It is easy to train how to use the app. Learn more and try In Home Care Providers app already today.

Paper-based documentation is inefficient and error-prone. Home care agencies that strategically implement digital technology attain significant success like Sunny Days In-Home Care.

Today we cannot imagine our life without elevators. Each day billions elevator journeys are taken in buildings all over the world. And a number is expected to jump to 70 percent by the year 2050. Nowadays we deal with “green” elevators, smart elevators that are connected to the Internet and other amazing innovations. In elevator construction and service, demand and competition are forcing the industry to constantly develop, improve and rationalize. Elevator service contractors confidently move to mobile solutions in elevator preventive maintenance, inspections, control of equipment, reporting, etc.

Checklists as an accuracy provider

Elevator constructions can differ greatly and changes to the designs are often made. This way, it is extremely beneficial to use and refer to checklists of the products and components requirements that vary from project to project. It increases efficiency during the design phase and safety. Thanks to the modern mobile software, such checklists can be used right on the mobile device. Mobile checklists contribute to the more accurate and timely data and provide the opportunity to avoid piles of paper, mess and mistakes.

Optimization of elevator service in a few clicks

Task scheduling, distribution and timely notification can provide more optimized service. This is both company productivity and image. Efficient work means more customers and more profit. Elevator service management apps allow users to generate schedules, change them, assign tasks, track their progress, send notifications, instantly get any details and more. And all of these can be made just in a few clicks anytime and anywhere.

The most tedious work and elevator inspection apps

Elevator inspection is an extremely important process with wide coverage, which delivers a great benefit to operational performance and prolongs its lifecycle. Nowadays this tedious, labor intensive and manual paper process can be replaced by an all-in-one elevator inspection app. Inspection of elevators are typically based on the special standards and regulations. Elevator inspection apps allow companies not just to collect various data conveniently and fast, but also to be sure they follow all these standards and the data is always at hand.

Make reports clearer and more helpful

Accurate, timely reports are a guarantor of the effective elevator maintenance. Elevator service management apps are able to generate professional reports for complete visibility and maximization of productivity. Mobile reports simplify their storage and transfer. Moreover, they are available 24/7.

Snappii knows a lot about mobile solutions for elevator services

Snappii, a leading business app development company, has a significant experience in work with elevator services. Not so long ago we created a mobile solution for Vision Elevators from Southern Africa. Here is the challenge they were trying to address with Snappii.

“Two of our key business processes, time management recording and preventative maintenance recording were reliant on administrative capturing into our ERP system. Not only was this time consuming and prone to inaccuracies but also resulted in delays in information being available for decision making.

The main business reasons we needed to address were:

1. To collect better information from customer sites so that more proactive maintenance services could be offered to clients
2. Timesheets to keep our employees honest.” (Nicholas Wareing, CEO Vision Elevators)
