Spotto

• Australia
• IT Services and IT Consulting
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Founder and CEO

  • Nov 2017 - Present

  You’re responsible for making sure the operations of your facility or business run efficiently and smoothly? You get so frustrated about the time and $$$ your staff members waste, every day, doing useless stuff, instead of real productive work? If that’s you, then you know that the cost of wasted staff time and the inefficient use of equipment can make a huge dent in your profitability - or even the sustainability of your business. And in these challenging times, the whole way we work is changing. Keeping track of what’s really going on with staff, equipment and processes is tougher than ever. The ‘old school’ ways of knowing what’s going on and where things are (like paper or electronic records and manual check-in and check-out) are just too inflexible, slow and increasingly inaccurate. You don’t want staff wasting their valuable time trying to locate stuff and you don’t want to keep on buying extra equipment just because it gets lost around your buildings or depots. What you REALLY want is to know where equipment and/or people are right now. And, sure, there are IoT tracking solutions out there but they’re pretty darned expensive and frankly you don’t have the time or the IT bandwidth to put them in. So you soldier on trying the best you can to limit waste. Well, we created Spotto for people like you. People who have a big time wasting problem hiding in plain sight and a real hunger to deal with it. You want a simple solution that DOESN’T NEED YOUR IT DEPARTMENT to get going. You want your staff to love it so that they use it by choice. And you want it to be soooo cost effective that your CEO (or shareholders) want to send you to Tahiti (or the Gold Coast) as a reward for making such a difference. And you want to do it without the headaches and risk. Well, talk to us. You want to DO MORE WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT, and that’s our mission.
