The Challenge
JustOKRs was founded by Chris Wagner with the aim of providing an efficient tool for managing professional objectives and key results (OKRs) for companies, teams, and individuals. The challenge was that most popular OKR software was expensive, bloated, and often lost focus on performance management instead of concentrating on making a really great OKR tool. The goal was to create a tool that was laser-focused on only making the best OKR tool, inspired by the ease of using Google Docs or Sheets to track OKRs. The tool needed to add the ability to easily score OKRs, assign ownership, and align OKRs across a company.
About The Customer
JustOKRs is targeted towards startups with 10 to 100 employees running on Google Apps. These startups are looking for an efficient and cost-effective tool to manage their professional objectives and key results (OKRs). The tool is designed to be easy to use, with demo OKR data loaded upon sign up to help users understand the product and how OKRs work. Users can create their own OKRs for the company, teams, and individuals, and track progress, set status, and post updates easily. At the end of each quarter, users can grade their OKRs and share their results with the rest of the company.
The Solution
JustOKRs was built on Bubble, a powerful no-code platform that saved time and development costs. When a user first signs up, their account is loaded with demo OKR data to help them better understand the product and how OKRs work. They can then create their own OKRs for the company, teams, and individuals. Once OKRs are set for a quarter, the team can easily track progress, set the status, and post updates on JustOKRs or using the Slack integration. At the end of the quarter, users can grade their OKRs and share their results with the rest of the company. The next step for JustOKRs is to build on the momentum and promote the tool to startups with 10 - 100 employees running on Google Apps. The biggest challenge to solve with OKRs is that creating them is hard and time-consuming, so the focus is on finding innovative ways to make creating OKRs as easy as possible.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
