With the GenieBelt platform, construction contractors can maintain an overview of their projects and keep up to date on what’s going on with each project. According to the developer, “GenieBelt fits a market gap between free file-sharing sites, in-house generic document management systems and existing construction-oriented collaboration platforms.”

GenieBelt is based on the idea of a shared, real-time, interactive project Gantt chart (schedule) accessed from a desktop or mobile phone to get construction projects completed faster and make collaboration easier.
