• Soroco’s journey began in 2014 guided by three puzzling questions: Why, with all the technology in the world, was there still no cure for the tedious manual work that defined so many jobs in companies across the world? Why did these same employees love smartphones and smart tech at home, but still accept being held back by legacy apps and processes at work? Why was there no advanced technology available to help companies actually fix this people problem vs. band-aid it with a patchwork of temporary solutions?
