Better business apps: Resco's mission to help frontline teams through vision, technology, and partners

Andrew Lorrain,CEO

At Resco, our journey of over 25 years has been all about understanding and supporting mobile processes.

That includes connecting frontline workers with their office counterparts, and with the business itself. Picture this: more than 2 billion people worldwide, working from healthcare centers to warehouses, are keeping our economy moving while often feeling underserved by technology.

We aim to transform this reality.

That’s why we create innovative mobile solutions designed to empower these essential workers and their teams. Together with our partners, we’re crafting custom applications that solve the unique challenges of various industries, helping everyone do their best work.

Mobile Solutions for verticals are a great opportunity for partners  

Given the significant gap in sufficient productivity tools for frontline workers, Resco’s solutions offer an important opportunity for partners. We provide the necessary tools to enhance frontline productivity and drive financial growth.

Both the Mobile App Development Toolkit and Mobile Solutions are tools for software vendors and manufacturers to build their own industry verticals and build new income streams on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Business Central, and Salesforce.

The pre-built white-label solutions for property and energy industries can be used as a base for partners’ own solutions.

“They come with a model-driven Power App that’s enhanced with Resco tools. This allows organizations or partners to take advantage of the great capabilities and innovations on the Power Platform,“ said Andrew Lorraine, during Resco’s annual conference Resco Next.

Some partners have already been successful in creating a strong income stream based on our solutions. The examples include Johnathan Taub and his FIELDBOSS solution for HVAC companies or Cegeka’s Fearless Leader solution for pharma sales.  

Power Platform is the next space for frontline enterprise apps and AI innovation 

Power Platform has evolved into a strategic tool for building enterprise apps, gaining interest from the community. Of 100 of the enterprise app professionals asked in Resco’s survey, two-thirds of them expect to develop most of their apps on the Power Platform by 2025.

We are excited to contribute our expertise to it. “Thanks to our experience and the 1.2 million lines of code we have written for mobile CRM apps, we can add value to partners and customers building apps on it,” said Andrew.  

Resco is proud to be an early adopter of this innovative space. We offer Power Solutions and Power Components to help partners build business solutions more quickly and with less maintenance. 

Power Solutions provides a comprehensive framework that includes essential functionalities for data collection or document generation, allowing app makers to focus on tailoring their applications to specific business needs without starting from scratch. This not only accelerates the development process but also ensures consistency and reliability. 

Our Power Components are pre-built modules that can be easily integrated into apps, offering capabilities such as image gallery, Kanban board, tree view, or file upload. These components reduce development effort and time significantly, enabling partners to deliver robust solutions faster. 

A new class of software solutions  

We encourage our partners and the whole business apps community to leverage the full suite of Microsoft, Salesforce, and Resco technology to provide users with a great experience and seize opportunities.  

“We want to create a new class of software solutions for frontline workers and supply the booming market out there, and an opportunity for all of us,” concludes Andrew Lorraine.  

We believe that 2+ billion frontline workers deserve to have technology helping them with their daily tasks.

We invite other organizations, software developers, and consultants to join our mission.
