Our mission
Empower the doers
to complete their job flawlessly, accurately, and to completion every time
80% of the global workforce is deskless. That’s 2.8 billion people who have been technologically underserved, misunderstood, and/or completely ignored. That ends here.
The job is the job
Everything we do, every product or technological innovation we make, exists to empower and equip people with the tools they need to complete their job flawlessly, accurately, and to completion every time.
We create the tools of tomorrow to improve processes and workflows, train the next generation of hands-on workers, and eliminate the barriers between machine and operator, location, and time.
We don’t spend time navel-gazing at what the future might look like: the future of the deskless workforce is already here. We’re just putting the right tools into the hands of those who truly benefit from them.
