On this episode we have Erin Bell from Co-Connect, a workforce app designed to streamline complex communication, information, and emergency systems into a single, user-friendly platform. We'll uncover the pivotal moments that shaped the company, why Erin believes in the power of community involvement, and why cutting ties early can sometimes be the wisest move for growth. Erin shares how they grew Co-Connect, learn why you should apply for awards and whether you should be entering different lanes with your product/service.
Problem:
Communication in mining workforces is very large-scale in complexity and always changing, an example is a worker trying to find their room at a mining site.
Solution:
Co-Connect App provides all essential site & village information, manages emergencies, and creates amazing site experience with the app.
One big piece of advice:
Identify and cut the cord earlier, and get involved in the community because it is easy to get lost in time – how can you help others more? The more inclined you are to help, it can also broaden your network.
