The advent of the Smartphone and other mobile devices has created a whole set of new opportunities for Business – not only to market and sell products and services, but to streamline business activities and communications with your staff and clients. The Technology Partnership based in Peterborough understand the unique constraints of designing for mobile platforms, and create intelligent and intuitive apps for a better consumer experience.
Consumer Apps – your brand to hand
Apps provide a new platform to market your products and services to people on the move. The smartphone is predicted to account for 92% of mobile phones by 2014. Importantly the smartphone is always on, always to hand, featuring your brand.
Having an App for your business is already as important as having a brochure or website. In 2010, there were over 800 million App downloads and this is set to rocket during 2011.
Mobile is not just another channel for marketing and sales, it is about getting closer to your client and generating loyalty. Talk to us about how Apps can become an integrated part of relationship building with your customers.
Business Apps – streamlining your activities
Whilst consumer Apps are where all the hype is, Mobile Apps actually bring a whole new opportunity to businesses to streamline processes, data collection and communication with staff.
Being mobile, Sales staff can access all their customer details, leads, quotes and orders, and take new orders, while on the move.
Retail staff can wander the store and make Sales directly on the shop floor, not wait for customers to come to the payment desk.
Production staff can clock in, complete data entry or stock management from any area of the business, pushing the data to the central server.
HR could use Apps to help them manage personnel details, payroll, or even deliver training and education directly to staff.
These are just some basic ideas, so call us to see where and how Mobile Apps could work for your business and pay for themselves through the resulting efficiencies.
Our services – partnering for success
Consulting
Spending time to understand your business needs and how this technology can improve your opportunities and workflow is essential to providing you with the right solution.
Design
Producing professional looking interfaces, navigation and information delivery is key to a successful application for the user. We take you through the design stages and provide a prototype for you to review and sign-off for development
Development
Following the Design stage, we undertake full development of your App for your target platform(s), including integration with any third party systems required (subject to availability of open interfaces). After internal testing, a test version of the App can be made available for final approval prior to release.
Submission
Consumer Apps need to be submitted to the relevant distribution platform (eg. iTunes) for clients to access and download. We take care of this submission process for you.
Business Apps can be distributed to a private “Enterprise” account, for download by your business and its staff, rather than be made available publicly. Again we manage this account and process for you.
Tracking
Following release, we are able to report on the downloads, utilisation and (if relevant) revenue generated from your App.
