## About Sequentia

Sequentia is a comprehensive, integrated SaaS business management platform developed by Sequentia Technologies Inc. It centralizes and optimizes all organizational operations by combining maintenance management, project management, billing, inventory, time tracking, and communication into a single unified platform accessible on web and mobile.

## What We Do

Sequentia solves critical business challenges:

- **Real-time Collaboration**: Chatrooms, collaborative editing (CRDT-based), smart notifications, and watcher/assignee systems
