Frustrated by the difficulty of efficiently managing and growing the business side of their locksmith company – Idan Kadosh and Erez Marom partnered with Saar Kohanovitch to launch an all-in-one service management platform that would allow them to focus solely on what they loved while outsourcing back-office operations.
