StatusNow – From a Regular App to a 3x ROI Management System

Client Profile

The client initially developed StatusNow as a private out-of-office and daily life organizing app. The concept was designed to help individuals and teams manage their availability, prioritize responses, and balance personal and professional commitments. Post-pandemic, the demand for tools that optimize responsiveness, manage remote workforces, and prevent communication overload grew rapidly — creating the opportunity for StatusNow to evolve into a robust business management system.

The Challenge

Organizations faced recurring problems in resource and workforce management:

  • Lack of Visibility: Team leaders often struggled to know “who” was doing “what” and “where.”
  • Underutilization of Resources: Skilled staff could not be reassigned quickly, leading to wasted potential.
  • Remote Team Management: Managing employees across different locations was inefficient and time-consuming.
  • Communication Overload: Staff and leaders were overwhelmed by being constantly connected, yet not effectively engaged.

The client needed to scale StatusNow beyond a personal availability tool into a multi-level, enterprise-ready fleet and workforce management system.

The Solution

Delivered by our strategic partner, Maqware Solutions, StatusNow was transformed from a simple personal app into a multi-hierarchical management platform that now delivers measurable business impact.

Core Highlights:

  • Real-Time Resource Tracking – Provides live updates on employee availability and location.
  • Productivity Optimization – Helps organizations maximize resource usage by assigning staff where they’re needed most.
  • Multi-Level Management – Designed for complex organizations with layered teams and reporting structures.
  • Consultative Approach – Instead of acting as just a vendor, Maqware Solutions worked as a long-term partner, aligning vision and strategy with the client.

Idea Transformation

  • Originally built as a personal life-organizer app, StatusNow has evolved into a comprehensive workforce management system.
  • Maqware Solutions was onboarded in 2021 for a small task but quickly became the client’s tech partner, continuously enhancing the platform with valuable features.
  • Today, StatusNow enables leaders and staff to balance competing priorities — serving consumers, clients, patients, colleagues, and personal responsibilities more effectively.

Expansion & Growth

  • StatusNow has advanced into a multi-hierarchical system designed for enterprise-scale workforce management.
  • The solution addresses a major industry challenge: resources often go underutilized or misplaced because leaders lack real-time data on availability.
  • With StatusNow, organizations now have visibility into who is available, what they are doing, and where they can add value — ensuring maximum ROI on their human capital.
  • Already deployed in organizations such as Bags Inc., the system continues to expand into new sectors and clients.

Flow of the Project

  • Initially, the client was cautious about outsourcing to a remote team located in another country.
  • Maqware Solutions began with a basic web portal as proof of concept.
  • As trust and alignment grew, the partnership expanded — turning Maqware Solutions into not just a developer but a consultant and strategic partner.
  • Within just one year, the transformation delivered a 3x ROI, proving the business case for scaling further.

Results & Impact

Since engaging Maqware Solutions as a strategic partner, the client achieved:

  • 3x ROI in the first year of the enhanced StatusNow platform.
  • Improved Workforce Visibility: Real-time status updates enabled leaders to make smarter resource decisions.
  • Increased Utilization: Idle or underused staff were reassigned effectively, improving productivity.
  • Scalable Growth: From a small personal app, StatusNow is now used by large organizations and expanding to new industries.
  • Trusted Partnership: The client gained not just a vendor, but a long-term partner who helped shape vision and execution.

StatusNow is an example of how a simple idea can evolve into a scalable enterprise solution. With Maqware Solutions as Maqware Global’s strategic partner, the project demonstrates how strong collaboration drives innovation, measurable returns, and long-term business value.
