About This Project

Mobile Development - Mobile app development for daycare

Looking for help building a basic Mobile App for our network of daycares in Kenya. Basic principle is that we need a simple app for our daycare franchises to collect data (i.e., newly enrolled children, attendance, fee payments, etc.) and for our franchising officers to collect data (i.e., quality assurance, visit reports etc.) and have that data travel to a cloud based dashboard to inform our decision making. Focus would be on Android App (iOS not required). Data is key to decision making, and right now all of our data is being collected through inefficient paper based methods that slow down decision making and are prone to mistakes. In addition, a beautifully designed App (can support with graphic designer) will help build the value of our offering (a franchising program) for daycare micro-entrepreneurs to join the network. This is a huge value add! We had tested an "off-the-shelf" data collection app (ODK) in the past that was linked with another cloud-based dashboard (ONA) but found the system was a bit clunky and not always as user friendly as we would have desired. We want to shift our focus from an employee focused app to a customer focused app (the franchisees) to add to the value proposition. Know (broadly) what kind of data we want to collect but still working on how/ how often.
