SMART FIELD DATA CAPTURE FOR MOBILE TEAMS

ABOUT APPCAN SMART FIELD DATA SOLUTIONS

WHY WE DEVELOPED APPCAN

We’ve worked in mobile technology and the utility construction industry for more than 30 years. In that time we’ve been consumers too, so we knew the particular challenges of collecting, distributing and filing data from construction project sites. We also knew developing bespoke software was very expensive and time-consuming.

With that in mind, we set about creating a simple, cost-effective product that could be easily customised to meet the needs of any business with people working in the field. A solution that would transform the collection of field data but would also act as an extension of the back office. It had to be easy to use for non-technical people. It needed to be secure to protect valuable data. And it had to work on existing hardware.

With AppCan, we think we’ve cracked it. AppCan is an enterprise-level data collection, document distribution and project management solution providing outstanding performance, flexibility, ease of use, unique construction-sector features and affordable per-user subscription pricing.

AppCan launched in 2013, but our commitment to ongoing system development has never stopped – over the last twelve years we have added dozens of new customer-led features and enhancements, upgraded security and improved overall usability.

Today, over 2,000 AppCan mobile users access or submit site-based records every day.

We would love to show you why your organisation should join them…
