THIS PROJECT IS BUILT USING
<p><strong>RootLo's Core:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><u>RootLo's Differentiator:</u> RootLo is built by remote workers, for remote workers and aggregates the tools necessary for companies to create an inclusive, open culture for their employees, wherever they are. These differentiating tools include RootLo's mentorship matching algorithm, global organization mapping, and curated local incentives.</p><p><br></p><p><u>RootLo - A differentiator for our clients:</u> Companies who implement RootLo better position themselves in a competitive job market and increase overall employee satisfaction and peer to</p><p>peer interaction.</p><p><br></p><p><u>RootLo's Technology: </u>Map-centric web application with geo-location, geo-tagging and geocoding. This allows RootLo</p><p>to display all location-based data. Additionally, we developed a matching algorithm to connect individuals with other people and places based on unique interests. We are web-based and fully integrable with other software.</p><p><br></p><p>RootLo in Action + Lessons Learned:</p><p><br></p><p>RootLo started with the mission of improving the lives of remote workers globally in 2017. Over the last 5-years, we have pivoted in response to the needs of our audience. We began by coordinating the logistics for remote workers to live and work in South America. With the feedback that our clients wanted the tools to settle their own logistics, we began creating a web-based solution to aggregate these resources and information. Through mentorship, we recognized the need for remote-culture solutions and as this market has grown, so has the need for solutions</p><p>such as RootLo in organizations across the world.</p><p><br></p><p>With 3k+ users and 20 on-boarded companies, RootLo has gained a competitive advantage through our experience and market insights. I've included examples of these insights and</p><p>product adaptations below:</p><p><br></p><p>- People don't want more applications or software that require front-end work: download, update, create a profile, or share interests. RootLo created a simple signup process with Slack, which simplify onboarding and profile creation, taking the data that already exists in Slack.</p><p>- Native apps take longer to curate, are expensive, and are oftentimes more difficult to integrate with other systems. For these reasons, RootLo was thoughtfully designed as a web-based solution to appeal to a larger audience.</p><p>- Originally, RootLo was built with the intention of being an end software that would replace other platforms. From our conversations with Leaders across industries, we learned that many organizations are not open to easily changing the systems that they already use, pay for, and believe in. In response, we redesigned our architecture and made it easy to integrate with other systems.</p><p>- Our first idea wasn't a map, it was a more simple layout. We discovered that finding people nearby by map generates a positive emotion that facilitates connections.</p><p><br></p><p>RootLo's Future:</p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--bg-opacity));">As a company, we are stopping running and at the moment we want to pass on our technology to another entrepreneur/company that finds the benefit of building up from here. </span></p>
