Thank you for building and continuing to enhance and extend this superb piece of software, and for allowing us to be part of the Zoho community. We look forward to next year's competition."
Sean Clark, Technical Director, FlowsEasy"When Zoho announced the Creator Hackathon, our approach was to build an app that served a niche industry. Australia is known for a lot of small and medium size businesses, and the team at Systems Down Under did a lot of due diligence to find the right industry to service. As they say, we need to believe in something before we sell it to others. We were looking at accounting, cleaning, landscaping, and finally thought skip bins were the right industry to get in to, as we see a lot of market potential once we build this app. Then we reached out to a few skip bin companies and interviewed them to understand their business model. We are glad Zoho recognized the effort and awarded us with this prestigious award!"
