Easy K9
Inter K9 Training Services supply and train operational working canines for security and detection. They provide clients with fully trained operational dogs and dog teams for detection of explosives, weapons, drugs, and cigarettes. Their Dog/Handler teams work with airports, arenas, sporting venues, concerts, bus & train stations or anywhere that may be a potential target. With over 20 years of cumulative operational military experience, they have a significant operational military history.
Attempting to engage with trainers and handlers is manual. Finding and connecting with handlers, viewing their accreditation’s, exchanging information and scheduling work is an unnecessarily complex process.
The Challenges
Fragmented Processes and Lack of Visibility Hindered Efficiency and Collaboration
Issues retrieving information
Manual record-keeping using paper files is time-consuming and disorganized. Also, managing schedules is a nice to have to cope up with multiple tasks.
Communication Challenges
The lack of a centralized system makes the collaboration and async communication between dog trainers and dog handlers tough.
Issues finding qualified dog trainers
The absence of task reporting leaves only a laborious process, relying on word-of-mouth or extensive research to find a good trainer.
Analytics and Reporting problems
Lack of recording and tracking training records hampers performance evaluation and comparison across teams.
The Solution
Building Easy K9 to Standardise and Streamline Dog Handling Records
We worked with Inter K9 to develop Easy K9, it has been designed for security and detection dog handlers and trainers to keep a healthy record system of their dogs records as well as their own personal handling records. The apps features help increase standards within the industry; storing trainers’ training records, operational task reports to keep a healthy audit system of how much the trainer/dog team is being used throughout their shift, dog profiles, uploading microchip numbers, vaccination or medical records, and certifications your dog has qualified for.
Native
Native iOS and Android apps were built for a seamless, high-performance experience. Easy K9 provides a unified interface for trainers and handlers, with managers overseeing registrations via a web portal. Users can easily find trainers, store dog records, and manage certifications—all in one streamlined platform.
Locate. Select. Share
Easy K9 lets handlers find nearby trainers, view their profiles, and share relevant details before connecting. Trainers receive in-app notifications and can choose to accept or decline the training request.
Testimonial
“Have received really good feedback from the app design so far! Great job.”
The Result
A single platform where users can upload and securely manage all of their dog’s information. Given that their dog’s details are maintained digitally, they may be easily circulated between trainers and handlers, whilst minimising the amount of manually recorded information.
