The Opportunity

Problem

On-site construction freelancers can't reliably manage multiple gigs due to clunky scheduling tools that fail offline.

Solution

GigForge uses smart algorithms to pack multiple gigs into optimal daily routes, fully editable offline. Freelancers input gigs, set constraints like travel time, and get efficiency scores with one-tap schedules. Syncs changes online for invoicing hooks.
