Custom web and mobile applications to increase capacity, save time & reduce costs.
Scenario

Reliance on spreadsheets for scheduling field employees, dispatching teams and equipment, and maintaining compliance reporting resulted in incomplete documentation and compliance issues. An inefficient billing and customer service platform put undue load on internal staff.
AltSource created a mobile app for use by field staff and a companion admin app for use by office staff. Together, these programs allowed the company to increase business capacity, streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction.
