MCS Apps is an software application development service committed to the specialized needs of small to medium sized businesses. The cornerstones of the custom programming services are Simple, Innovative, and Interesting.

Simple - We believe the simplification of complexity improves productivity. Consideration is given for a client work environment with little or no in-house IT support.

Innovative - Where possible, cost-effective technology is used. This ranges from low cost barcoding, digital pens, and smart cell phones. Advantages are explored where advantages are found - for instance the availability of web services offered to clients are 1/20 of the cost 5 years ago.

Interesting - Interest and curiosity are self-explanatory.

We design, develop, and train. Contact us to see if we can be of service to you.

MobileDAILY All construction projects require daily reports. Finding time, mired in the daily complexity of many projects is an on-going struggle. Over the past few years, Google released (for free)a voice-to-text feature on their Android cell phones that makes it possible to convert your speech to text. It works well enough to save time. MobileDaily takes this capability and ties it to your daily report. [Simple - Innovative - Interesting] More Info

LowBidFinder The chaos of bid day...phone calls, loud people, questions, questions, questions. You need to come up with a number from a grid of sub bids. Just make a spreadsheet and record the sub amount into a column representing the work or trade. Now just add together the lowest number in each column. Easy, except when you get inclusive sub bids where a single amount covers work in more than one of your columns and you cannot allocate the amount. LowBidFinder is a simple way to find that number. Especially when that last sub bid number comes in just 5 minutes from your deadline. [Simple Interesting]
