app innovation grant

iPointlive was awarded the money in recognition of its Mobile Employee Monitoring smartphone app. The software is said to be one of the first fully-automated software apps on the market to turn GPS-enabled smartphones into highly-effective employee monitoring devices that function whether employees are travelling via company or private vehicle, public transport or on foot.

All information is delivered in real-time, allowing an accurate, up-to-date overall business picture to be delivered via an internet-based reporting suite. The software makes the need for manual timesheets and mileage claims obsolete –eliminating discrepancies and exaggerated claims that often come with them.

iPointlive received the match-funded grant through Coventry University’s Innovation Networks – the project assists firms and individuals with innovative ideas to realise their potential. The grant follows the firm being shortlisted as one of the Editor’s Pick in the Tomorrow’s FM Awards.
