We are in the process of moving our business over to G Suite and we require Computing Science Interns to develop apps that will link and incorporate data into G Suite. The first stage of this will be to develop apps that will monitor attendance and quality.

Cleaners will use a tag system to log in and out to allow supervisors to know who is on site. The supervisor will also use an app to rate the quality of service. Another aspect of the project is the development of a dashboard that will display attendance and quality ratings at a glance. Clients will receive their own portal log in via a given google account that will display their dashboard and store documents etc. 

We know exactly what we require from the apps and what they will show, however we are looking for the technical ability to develop this and build the apps. 

The project would suit two students who could work collaboratively and independently each for 100 hours. Our office premises are in Gosforth however we are very flexible and it is possible to work remotely at your convenience and to have regular update meetings in the office.  Support and guidance will be available from our Technical Manager.

We’ll be testing before rolling out across the client base and providing G Suite portals which will be a ‘dashboard’ for facilities managers. This may involve training people too.
  3. We’re moving from Linux servers and Microsoft to G Suite to be more collaborative and provide exciting add- on’s for our clients. You’ll help develop a new way to record attendance in real time for the clients and management using NFC tags and showing results on the G Suite portals.
