Case Study: Lone Star Communications creates a workforce management app for 100+ field technicians with Glide

Lone Star Communications builds workforce management app for 100+ technicians with Glide

Lone Star Communications, a provider of threat management solutions for the medical and education industries, faced a challenge in efficiently managing its 100+ field technicians. Technicians had to log into multiple manufacturer portals and an internal system to access technical documentation and installation guides while on job sites, which was time-consuming and impractical. To solve this, employees Cliff Switzer and Brian Banks used Glide to build a custom app.

Using Glide, they created the "TechStar" app, which centralized all necessary technical documentation and resources into a single mobile application. The solution provided immediate access to information in the field, drastically improving efficiency. The app saw instant adoption, with over 80,000 interactions from more than 250 users in the past year. The success of this initial app led Lone Star's executive team to fully endorse Glide, resulting in the creation of over 50 apps for various business needs, including project management and time-tracking.
