[b]Chester, United Kingdom[/b]: StaffCircle, a disruptive SaaS start-up aimed at improving workplace communication and automation, has just launched a new Smart Folders feature designed to enable companies to leverage the power of IOT devices to improve workforce productivity.

This new capability is unique in the Workforce App space and enables specific IOT devices to be setup on the platform and push and retrieve information directly from the StaffCircle platform.

Founder and CEO Mark Seemann explains “Many companies think they don’t have IOT devices present in their organisation – we all do. The most common one is an inkjet printer that is connected to your network via ethernet or wi-fi. The heart of IOT is a sensor which bridges the gap between the analogue/physical and digital worlds and an inkjet printer with its built-in scanner fits into this category perfectly. You push paper in and get a digital copy (usually as a pdf) out.

What we have built into StaffCircle is the ability to add these IOT devices as virtual “users” on our platform and integrate them into folders and workflows. For example, people can feed documents in at one end and they automatically have those digital documents distributed securely across a workforce, delivered using the Staffcircle mobile web app. This removes along of manual work moving files onto USB sticks and then only emails. There are many more use cases for StaffCircle’s new IOT smart folder capability, and together with our customers we will discover many more.”
