HammerKit is a cloud-based web application development environment. Based on a unique component technology, HammerKit enables web applications to be built in a modular and visual way. A consequence of the component approach is the capacity to copy any application precisely with a single button click and to use it as the basis of another modifed application. HammerKit turns web projects into globally repeatable solutions. HammerKit differs from traditional coding-based environments, by allowing users to design and build anything from a simple web site to a complex, data-driven application. With HammerKit, you create applications in a real-time visual drag and drop interface where building web services is made easy through the use of functional elements and visual components. There is no command line coding to worry about and nothing to download or install. The real-time approach allows you to work collaboratively with your clients and your team. Everything you create with HammerKit is stored in the Cloud. HammerKit runs on Amazon AWS infrastructure and is built to scale projects as required.
Nsoroma (Star) is a company that provides a range of tracking and fleet management services in Ghana and the West African sub-region. It combines the skillset of 3D-tracking (http://3dtracking.net) and the management knowhow of Multiplant Ghana Ltd. Enhancements include: * Working with proprietary maps or generating maps of unmapped areas, and integrating solutions into the database. * Dispatch capabilities: Garmin satellite navigation units with Ghana maps are now integrated into the Nsoroma tracking system, permitting two-way communication with drivers, automatic driver ID recognition and the use of an order management system for real-time adjustment to operational directives. You can, for instance, send your driver an instruction with a location which will be clearly and unambiguously displayed on the navigator map and will also be recorded in the database system. This is made to work without house numbers, a must in a country like Ghana where street names and numbers are rarely used. The advantages include: * Solutions to compute and automate reports based on fuel consumption averages. * Solutions to allow drivers to invoice per mileage driven. * Tampering alert solutions to discourage dishonest drivers. * Low costs, with no monthly subscription payments. * Highly effective solutions for financial companies or individuals, who do not want to track their vehicles all the time, but wish to immobilize and retrieve their vehicle easily if needed. Nsoroma prides itself on tailoring solutions case by case for any clients, taking into account the specific needs of the regional business context. Nsoroma improves efficiency and reduces costs, handling individual client needs in first-rate fashion, thanks to the technical competence of the team.
