News “Technology is moving at a swift pace and if we don’t start to think differently about the potential that renewable energy brings to our industry, we will be left behind.” Attend2IT release new app Attend2IT, an events IT company, have recently introduced a new app called On-Site. The app is aimed at stewards, organisers and contractors, and aims to be fully customisable for each event. The app itself is designed to be used in real-time at events, and allows for custom maps, lists, logos, colours, backgrounds and tickets, as well as unique logins to allow for organisers to connect and contact each other on an immediate basis. On-Site also aims to be simple to use, meaning that anyone with any level of comfort with technology can access it, whilst also being discreet and precise. The app allows users to take photos of categorisable issues and upload them immediately, so issues can be acknowledged and dealt with as soon as possible, and located using the fully trackable interface. All incidents can then be summarised in a web portal that management have full access to. The results reported by the app can also be graphed, allowing for quick and easy data analysis.
