MANAGING YOUR FIELD TEAMS RIGHT FROM YOUR PALM

Hi everyone! My long vacation a cool one although wasn’t up to anything great. I however had a chance to introduce some high school students to computers (most of them) for their first time. I wasn’t fun; yeah I mean it .I recall this one student I asked to double click and she clicked her mouth twice. A funnier one when asked why one should know how to shut down the computer using the right procedure, said you might be asked how to do it in an interview. Haha! You must have thought of my remarks to her already, ”Thoughtful but wrong”.

That stuff aside. I also met this guy who sells timber in large scale. He has this teams that are set to thin forests in different parts of the country. Each has an accountant who is in charge of virtually everything that the team does. The guy has to keep calling all his teams (they are about 20) to be updated on the situation of his business. I thought of a way to ease his work of getting to his teams and has found an interesting way. I call the project Bizna connect.
