Productivity in Crisis
Hi all,
Wow. What a month. I hope you’re all safe and sound. Our team has been watching the awful, worldwide pandemic from afar, safely at home. Fortunately, with team members around the world (in the UK, Italy, Ukraine, Canada, and the US) we have a lot of experience with remote work. Even so, we had to learn a few things. Some of those learnings are here.
We’re obviously also trying to help fight the health crisis in multiple ways:
We’re supporting the amazing open source community helping deliver hundreds of thousands of face visors.
Our offer of free licenses for Authentise MES has been taken up by organizations looking to scale their additive responses
We’re supporting a major initiative to deliver a qualified marketplace of parts.
Despite the distractions, the team has worked tirelessly on those small improvements that help companies manage their workflow more effectively. Some of them include:
The ability to duplicate orders and line items
The ability to customize the QR-code traveler used to track parts through the process in conjunction with the app.
A smarter way to search with filtering in drop-down boxes.
Lot’s more coming, hopefully in quieter times. We are finding that, while most of our clients are still producing, this is also a time to focus on process – so we’re busier than ever working with clients, helping them deploy, understanding their needs. I you have any questions or comments to add during this time, please do get in touch.
Stay safe!
