Engin Product
We began designing and developing Engin in late 2015. The product concept was firmly grounded by our Canterbury Recovery experience and sought to solve two primary observations – the massive information loss from paper based and spreadsheet records – and the significant time and cost barrier of implementing and adapting bespoke or off-the-shelf systems. Engin solves these and a suite of other fundamental data and information constraints
