There are many solutions available to help individuals manage their time on tasks and jobs, but most are heavily focussed on IT users (or at least users in front a PC). But there are many workers or individuals that are out on the road, the mobile workforce. They need to be notified about new jobs and locations in a timely manner, and need to be able to log their times accordingly. Short of carrying a netbook with an internet connection, this can be difficult to accomplish for the road warrior. And the result is that the information isn’t immediate for the organisers of tasks and work; did someone arrive, how long were they there, or did they get the new change of job notification?

In addition to the target user being different, urBusy proposes to simplify how individuals can subscribe to the service, with most users being able to use it for free. Costs only start to incur if you want to manage other people within your account, and in that case, the cost model is low, and rather than using traditional per user subscription, it works on on a model that takes into account that users may already be members of the service. This provides the ability to have a low cost model for businesses, and yet leverage the network that urBusy intends to build.

Already under development, urBusy is promising to be one of the first projects out the door for Organic and will be released in the next few short months.
