Mobiforce is a mobile service for optimizing the work of traveling personnel.

“The analysis shows that the mobile employee pays his immediate work - the fulfillment of the tasks set - only 26% of the working time. The rest of the time he is engaged in non-core activities: movement, calls, coordination, clarification, manual filling out of documents. These 74% of work time can be optimized, ”explains Sergey Wasserman, CEO of Mobiforce.
The competitiveness of the service on the market will be ensured due to the wide possibilities of customization for customers, ease of incorporation into the company's information system and the possibility of integration with 1C, as well as other systems. Payment for services is carried out on the basis of the monthly subscription fee for each “mobile” employee.
The project's competitors are the service “
GdeMoi ” and the solution
“Mobile employees” with the module “Coordinator” from MTS.
The relevance of the project from a scientific point of view is that the company has developed its own methods for optimizing the time and work tasks of employees.
“We can say that we help optimize the time of your employee by 15-20%. But now it takes a lot of effort on our part. The immediate task is to make the customization of the solution for the client take significantly less time, that is, the solution is customized by hand, without involving programmers, ”says Wasserman.
In order to receive further funding from the Bortnik Fund, Mobiforce must demonstrate sales growth by the end of 2015. So far, the service has only 2 paid clients, and about 20 have not yet made a decision on cooperation.
In February, it became known that the Bortnik Fund
invested 2 million in the “
All Evacuators of Russia ” and
PromoAtlas projects , which entered the second phase of the “Start” program. In 2013, they already received 1 million rubles each, and in 2014 they were able to prove their commercial viability.
The Foundation for Assistance to the Development of Small Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Sphere (
Bortnik Fund ) was founded in 1994 and is a non-profit organization. The fund is coordinated by the Government of the Russian Federation.
