POSBOSS POINT OF SALE ios Mobile App Ruby-on-Rails Web Application 2 years (ongoing) Beautifully efficient point of sale for hospitality. Posboss came to us with a fresh idea: to make POS systems easy, fast and intuitive for Hospo businesses. Though the point of sale is the most important moment in the hospitality process, it had always been slow, frustrating and cumbersome. Now with a light, dynamic ipad app, managers can update menus from the PosbossHQ website, and owners can track their sales data anytime, anywhere. We started developing the ios app for ipad and the Ruby-on-Rails Web Application in mid-2012. We also worked on the business model, enhanced the design and user experience, and started rolling out the final product to happy customers in mid-2013. POSSBOSS POS

FIXIT APP ios & Android Mobile App 4 Months Effortlessly let your council know about problems they need to fix. Wellington City Council had an idea. They wanted ratepayers to be able to report problems in a fast way that bypassed costly call centres and recording time.

Now residents in both cities gain instant reporting and rapid responses to ratepayer problems. FIXIT APP
