AI is definitely a tool for Qfactor and the land surveying clients we serve. One of the best time savers? Graphics! It generates some cartoon style illustrations as well as more realistic ones.

Here's a version a buddy sent me when I told him I had a back issues recently and I had to work in the prone position with my laptop. I should have said 'supine'.

Mr. Literal called me on it. He generated an image using a selfie we took a few months ago. AI even got the wording on the sweatshirt correct.

Crazy Cool!

I’m thrilled to have completed beta tests and now launched the new drag & drop crew scheduling & rescheduling feature of Qfactor. No more double booking crews, trucks, or equipment. No more wasted time and confusion.

Love seeing my multi-crew clients invest their time in this so quickly. Boots, trucks, dirt and tech (me) … I love my job!

Our clients help us build the features they need. Special shout out to Chris Berumen and Heather Keenan for their feedback.

Good afternoon Qfactor users. This is Frederick, creator of Qfactor for surveyors, and as I've mentioned in prior emails, we are working on a crew scheduling feature that has been added to Qfactor.

BizWatt would like to introduce a new team member, Grace Benitez, our Marketing and Graphics Intern. Grace is a graduating senior at Lompoc’s Cabrillo High School where she was in the Graphic Design program for four years and graduated at its highest level. During her four years in the program, she created two brand identities, multiple article spreads for magazines, heat-pressed shirts, vinyl posters and laser-cut acrylic jewelry. For her senior year, she decided that she wanted to create a magazine using her own magazine spreads and curating some of the work around the room. She created a brand for said magazine named Mode, a fashion based magazine that merges the design world to the fashion industry. She has also worked as a freelance graphic designer and created a logo for the pest control company, Just-In Time.

Grace’s values when it comes to graphic design lie in her true passion for creativity and art. Grace said: “I have found myself always going back to creative outlets in my life, from painting to candle-making, makeup and eventually to graphic design. I have never envisioned myself anywhere else but in the art industry and design has made that dream become a reality.” The ability to express herself through her work, fashion, and artwork is something she holds very dear to her heart and she said: “without these values and my ambition, I wouldn’t find myself in the position I currently am.”

Welcome aboard Grace!

The BizWatt Team.
