Solutions
Field teams
Free app in Telegram. Minimal training needed.
Role screens for foremen, loaders, drivers, and unloaders. Work continues offline and syncs when the signal returns. The office sees progress without calling every cab.
Field tools that fight the jobsite
Generic apps ask crews to fill forms that do not match the job. Signal drops mid-trip. Paper QR and verification habits get invented ad hoc. Training takes longer than the pour.
- Apps designed for office users, not loader/driver/unloader flows
- No offline queue - work stops when the network drops
- Handoffs rely on trust instead of QR and codes
- Foremen lack a clear site-start and assignment workflow
- Trip problems have no path into office approval
What you get
Outcomes tied to how Econ actually works in the field and office.
- Foreman site start, loader assignment, and supervisor naming
- QR and paper QR handoffs for real jobsite conditions
- Verification codes at loader, driver, and unloader stages
- Offline queues that sync when connectivity returns
- Driver trip-issue reporting with foreman classification
- Android app and Telegram bot (@EconEthiopiaBot)
A day on the Work tab
A concrete path from setup to proof - not a generic feature list.
Foreman prepares the site
Assign loaders to product places, set supervisors, and start the site so trips are allowed.
Loader hands off
Assign driver, start loading, show QR or paper QR. Optional verification codes confirm identity.
Driver transports
Scan to accept, drive to site, report issues if the route or delivery fails. Offline actions queue if needed.
Unloader completes
Verify arrival and finish unloading. Trip moves to unloaded and counts toward delivery totals the office sees live.
Capabilities in detail
The product surfaces and mechanisms that deliver the outcomes above.
Role-based Work tab
Each role sees the actions they need - not a cluttered ERP screen. Foreman, loader, driver, and unloader flows are distinct.
Telegram & Android
Crews can work in Telegram via @EconEthiopiaBot or the Econ Ethiopia Android app on Google Play.
QR + paper QR
Digital handoff when phones work; printed loader paper QR when they do not. Same trip record either way.
Verification codes
Short codes at critical stages reduce impersonation and accidental wrong-trip acceptance.
Offline & sync
Poor coverage is normal on Ethiopian sites. Actions queue locally and sync when the network returns.
Trip issues in the field
Drivers report problems; foremen classify; office approves. Field and office stay on one exception trail.
