At the Summit
MobiPunch, Hackathon Event
InfoSourcing teamed up with JAAS developers for Hackathon 2019 as a "Team Beta". We designed and developed "MobiPunch" a punch in/out time tracking module allows mobile users to punch in and out of their facility with GPS enabled geo tracking.
This is ideally for mobile and remote workers, shop floor or production jobs allowing managers to view all their employees checking in and out of the facility and keeping track of time and resources.MobiPunch, can be extended to other modules and extensions developed by other ISVs such as JAMS Manufacturing plugin or PrintShop Production Jobs plugin and beyond. With Geo fencing capabilities you can automate time card activities and even extend this role to do loyalty program.
The Hackathon was a fun and innovative event with 8 teams participating and building some very interesting projects, and 3 teams made the final cut. We did not win but nonetheless built a prototype based on an idea with practical use of the application and had a blast creating it.
