recordIT ist ein einfaches und effizientes Tool zur Erstellung von Berichten durch das Zusammenführen von Fotos und Kommentaren in ein vordefiniertes Layout. Die Anwendung erfolgt über ein Smartphone oder Tablet und ist somit überall und jederzeit einsetzbar. Die Erfassung der Daten und Informationen für Berichte findet üblicherweise nicht im Büro oder vor dem Computer statt, sondern direkt vor Ort. Somit kommt es immer zu einer zeitlichen und lokalen Verzögerung zwischen dem Erfassen der Inhalte und der Verarbeitung zu einem Bericht. Hier kann recordIT helfen.
