Simply Signs is a rapidly growing real estate services provider specializing in signage delivery, installation, and logistics across Canada. The company needed a modern, reliable digital platform to replace manual communication and fragmented workflows used by realtors, drivers, and admin teams. We partnered with Simply Signs to design and engineer a scalable, cross-platform ecosystem that centralizes job requests, installation scheduling, driver routing, inventory visibility, and operational oversight into one seamless experience.
The platform includes dedicated mobile apps for realtors and drivers, an advanced admin CMS, real-time job tracking, cloud-based media storage, and optimized routing powered by Google Maps. Built with React Native, React.js, and a robust AWS-backed Node.js infrastructure, the solution delivers faster turnarounds, reduces errors, and significantly boosts productivity while enabling the client to consistently achieve their promised 12-hour job turnaround. With over 200 polished UI screens and a unified brand experience, Simply Signs now operates with greater efficiency, accuracy, and scalability as it expands into new regions.
The Engineering Impact
Clear Outcomes That Elevate Operational Performance
200+ UI Screens

Operational Efficiency Boost
Improved productivity across all roles through faster scheduling, smoother driver coordination, and clear visibility into inventory, job status, and completion updates.
The Challenge
- 1. Fragmented Communication Channels
- Realtors, drivers, and admins relied on phone calls, text messages, and ad-hoc communication, creating frequent misalignment and delays in job fulfillment.
- 2. Manual and Inefficient Job Scheduling
- Installation and removal requests were managed through non-centralized methods, making it difficult to prioritize, assign, and track jobs in real time.
- 3. Lack of Inventory and Job Visibility
- Agents had no streamlined way to view sign availability, job status, or proof of completion, leading to confusion, duplicate requests, and operational inconsistencies.
- 4. No Unified Digital Workflow Across User Roles
- Drivers, admins, and realtors operated in disconnected processes with no shared platform, resulting in avoidable errors and an inability to scale operations efficiently.
The Objective
- Achieve a reliable 12-hour turnaround for bookings, installations, and removals through a streamlined digital workflow.
- Centralize all signage operations including requests, removals, storage, and inventory tracking in a unified platform.
- Enable real-time coordination for drivers with automated updates, navigation support, and instant job status reporting.
- Reduce manual errors and operational inefficiencies by replacing phone calls and fragmented communication with automated processes.
- Deliver a modern, professional, and brand-consistent digital experience across web and mobile for The Simply Brand Inc.
