CEO Alexis came up with the idea for Field Buzz while working in international development cooperation. One thing permanently caught his attention: Numerous projects and assignments are well conceived, but fail as soon as you try to scale after the manageable pilot phase and implement projects on a large scale in the field. Most organisations with geographically dispersed activities and staff in developing countries are still dependent on paper-based work processes. Data collection is often slow, non-transparent, error- and corruption-prone. Organizations find it difficult to grow sustainably to reach more people.<\/p>\n

Alexis decided to take advantage of the spread of the mobile internet and the increasing availability of low-cost devices to enable organizations to more effectively manage their widely dispersed operations in remote regions and thus developed the smartphone and web-based software solution “FieldBuzz”.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> (German only) with Frankfurt Forward, Alexis explains how Field Buzz works and talks about his lessons learned and the benefits of Frankfurtas business location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
