Challenge	DIRTT, a company specializing in interior construction, faced challenges in optimizing their internal operations and material tracking. Initially, dispatch coordination was managed through email, leading to inefficiencies and missed communications.

Solution	DIRTT adopted the AppSheet platform to address its operational challenges. Initially, they developed a dispatch app to streamline the coordination of project materials among their three Calgary facilities. The app provided real-time metrics, such as delivery frequency and size, enabling better resource alignment. Subsequently, DIRTT introduced a second AppSheet-powered app for tracking customer-provided materials. This app allowed employees to record materials using their mobile phones, eliminating the need for desktop entries and reducing errors. Employees could take pictures of items, print QR code labels, and scan them at various project stages to track materials accurately. Additionally, DIRTT created an internal marketplace app using AppSheet, allowing employees to buy, sell, or give away items efficiently. This app promoted reuse and supported charitable donations.
