The solution
SoMeCentral is a cloud-based SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) that lets companies effortlessly gather photos and videos from employees for use in social media campaigns, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. A company signs up and employees receive invitations (via SMS or email) to download the mobile app and start sharing content from company events, or other relevant activities. Manao Software provided a turnkey solution with custom graphic design, UX design, software development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
