FotoIN Marks Milestone Achievements With Citrix Ready Certification, Key Construction Industry Wins And Increased Visibility

Banner Year Reflects Necessity for new Mobile Technology Automating Field-to-Office Workflows and Signifies Steep Growth Trajectory for Photo Documentation Company

Ninety percent of information transmitted to the brain is visual, and the brain processes visual images 60,000 times faster than text.[1] While it is clear that images are the most effective way to document a story or project, in order to be utilized efficiently in a business setting, they must be automatically filed and searchable.This fact specifically applies to the construction industry, where smartphones have emerged as one of the most important tools for capturing, documenting and archiving field information. Seventy percent of construction professionals view mobile technology as important to their business and sixty-eight percent of contractors report using smartphones while on the job.[2]

This growing need for in-the-field mobile technology that offers automation and searchability helps explain the significant company milestones recently achieved by FotoIN Mobile Corporation (FotoIN), the leading provider of a mobile solution for photo documentation and reporting. This year, the company has secured several construction company accounts, speaking platforms at key national conferences and a high-level certification from a leading mobile management company. The milestones also reflect a steep growth trajectory the young company is experiencing.

“We are extremely pleased but not surprised,” explains Sly Barisic, CEO and founder of FotoIN. “Mobile dominates the conversations within field-related industries, especially construction. Companies are furiously attempting to automate field-to-office workflows. For daily operations and future business analysis, they are streamlining their processes, burying their paper-based systems and discovering ways to quickly archive the deluge of critical information their workers gather in the field for regular daily use and future business analysis. When we present our solution to decision-makers, they immediately see how we relieve their most excruciating pain points related to the photo documentation process.”

Recent FotoIN Milestones Include:
Citrix Ready Certification – FotoIN earned Citrix Ready certification by Citrix, a global mobile management solutions company. Classified as Citrix Ready, FotoIN is now a verified solution trusted to enhance Citrix cloud solutions for mobility, virtualization, networking and cloud platforms. The Citrix Ready designation is awarded to third-party partners that have successfully met test criteria set by Citrix and gives customers added confidence in the compatibility of the joint solution offering.

Growth in the Construction Industry – FotoIN continues to sign agreements with leading national General Contractors and is now deployed on projects by DPR Hardin Construction and Gilbane Construction. It is in the process of deployment with Brasfield and Gorrie, leader of the high-profile Atlanta Braves baseball stadium, a joint venture with New South Construction, also a FotoIN customer.

FotoIN’s Stage Presence – Barisic recently spoke at the America’s Claims Event in Washington, D.C., and the BoxWorks conference in San Francisco, addressing how FotoIN automates photo documentation filing together with metadata to Box to make captured images even more useful for companies already using the Box platform. He will also be a featured speaker at the Association of General Contractors (AGC) Tech Summit in November in Washington, D.C.

“We foresee construction soon ballooning to a trillion dollar industry, and we all know we must invest in technologies that drive efficiency to continue thriving within this explosive growth,” says Todd Armistead, Safety Director of DPR Hardin Construction. “FotoIN has harnessed that technology and delivered a platform that seamlessly and automatically captures, shares and files photos rich with valuable site data. We are now working on overcoming the barriers between our sites and our corporate offices, and FotoIN helps us achieve this with our photo documentation.”
