Commander

After last years push towards data globalization in Commander – this year we are focused on enhanced usability and workflow efficiencies. Such efforts include enhanced mapping functionality; bulk actions in commonly used audit reports and automatic overnight data analysis to present users with high priority jobs.

Staffing

We continue to support our clients with staffing for system management as well as contractors for non-system support. This year we have a focus on building a dedicated transport logistics team for one of our primary clients.

SBLWT(?)

Still searching for the perfect name, what is internally known as “Small Business Light Weight Tool” is a framework that is being created to assist small businesses with routine tasks including contact management, appointment scheduling and invoicing. While we know that thousands of apps and sites exist in the genre, we also know that they are cumbersome, expensive and don’t offer custom features to handle the unique needs of each unique business. Our goal is to build a framework that can handle the 80% of shared needs while at the same time making it cost effective and quick to build custom add-ons for our clients.

Grey Gables (The Farm Work)

Having purchased Grey Gables Farm in 2021 we are finally in the position to start incorporating it into our business vision. While we are still in the planning and permitting stage we hope that 2025 will be the year that we start seeing some of the fruits of our labor (more to come as it becomes a reality).

Commander

This year was the year of data-globalization and operations expansion. In the past most of our data tables were event driven and duplicated for each new event. With the immense growth of the company, this was no longer sustainable approach. A complete revamping of data structures, while a major accomplishment, was accomplished with very little down-time. A new line of work announced in December and commencing in February gave us an opportunity to work hand in hand with the operations team on data and process needs. Not without several 20×7 weeks, we were able to meet their needs and help grow the project for them.

Staffing

Over the course of the year we were able to provide contractors in the following sectors: data management; finance-admin clerks; transport coordinators; damage assessment; generator maintenance; project management and general labor.

Storage Solutions

No major changes to Storage Solutions (a small business tool used for tracking self-storage unit rental and payments). Continued security monitoring and some communication upgrades were the extent of changes. In year seven of operation, Storage Solutions remains a viable lightweight management tool.
