Its done! On 21st, July 2009 we submitted the first iPhone App to the Apple App Store and today it was approved! Our App is called Jolein and is used as a basic management frontend for the stunning Jolein platform.

Jolein Main Menu Currently the Jolein App is only available in german language but further language support is planned. While the Jolein platform is used for efficient staff coordination, resource and qualification managment and service scheduling the associated Jolein App supports following tasks:

  • Overview of staff and easy communication with them
  • Task managment
  • Messaging service
  • Overview of own companies
  • Easy staff coordination and service planning
  • Conflict managment
