Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the company, Christian Jiah, has told  YFM online that the system is currently supporting Information management, appointment and scheduling cash/billing center among others.

The software has been developed at crucial time when the country is still observing COVID-19 pandemic health guidelines aimed at minimizing physical contact among the people.
