In the beginning

When I joined, Kantan had already launched their first version of iOS and Android App for tradespeople. Supported by OVO Energy Group, they have taken the app to market through the CORGI HomePlan network of ~3k tradespeople, helping them schedule and fulfil over 600k jobs a year. At the time, the app was used by 65 engineers and was ready to be scaled to all sole traders within CHP network, while there was already proof that it was saving tradespeople over 2 hours a week on administrative tasks. The mission was to help trade professionals work smarter and I was very excited to join this team.
