What the front desk & the cupboard covers in Work
Who came in, what went out, and what is left on the shelf. That is the job The front desk & the cupboard does inside CompliMaint Work & Projects, and it holds 7 tools for it — registers to keep and things to log. Each opens at its own address, free, with no account and nothing to install. The app around them is for today, tasks, projects and a portfolio — with the meetings, decisions and records behind them.
