The Opportunity

Problem

Remote construction teams suffer from poor internet connectivity at job sites, making cloud-based project management tools unusable.

Solution

CrewMesh creates a peer-to-peer network via phone hotspots for teams to share tasks/photos without internet. One device syncs to cloud later. Ideal for isolated sites where even cell signal is weak.

Target Audience

Remote construction teams and site managers relying on cloud-based project management software

Differentiator

Bluetooth/WiFi Direct mesh networking – works in signal dead zones.
