Development of a Sustainable Home Renovation and Inventory Management Platform

The client currently relies on manual processes for project management, work allocation, and inquiry handling, leading to inefficiencies and limited scalability. Absence of a centralized platform results in poor real-time visibility into project progress, resource utilization, and delays. Communication silos and scattered project data hinder collaboration and hinder data-driven decision-making, adversely affecting project timelines, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

A mid-sized construction or home renovation company focused on sustainable and health-conscious remodeling projects, seeking an integrated digital solution to streamline project management and inventory control.
