Project background

Lifecycle management or document lifecycle management is a process through which a document passes before it becomes feasible for the end user. Document lifecycle management software also ensures the best outcome for businesses by integrating document management-related programs.

From data processes to business systems, such a program has many advantages. The main factors associated with such programs are cost, time, and quality. Optimized document quality is only possible thanks to such programs. They also help to easily analyze document-related data.

Our client was looking for a development team to create a document management mobile app from scratch. The main aim of the app is to help the client’s employees (drivers, depot operators, and supervisors) to:

digitalize the inner flow;
minimize paperwork;
get timely updates on the tasks.
