As a Mother of two young boys, I was on the road frequently dropping/picking up the boys from various activities. Not always knowing the exact addresses of the activities and their start and end times, I often wished I had the contact information of other school parents on my mobile phone. Even after having purchased multiple print copies, they always went missing at home when I needed them the most.

To overcome this problem, I built a secure and private mobile school directory for my children’s school and surrounding schools. The mobile directory, a digital version of the school print directory, can readily be accessed on a mobile phone to easily connect with other parents in the community. The invaluable convenience for school parents and the time and money saved by the PTAs/PTOs, led to a rapid growth of MobileArq which grew quickly and had over 21,000 registered members in the first year of launch (2013). Since then, MobileArq has continued to soar with the help of our passionate membership.
