iPad and iPhone for Work

The iPad and iPhone are changing the way companies do business. From retail to tourism, to network management to services to manufacturing to mobile health, the iPad and iPhone are at work.

Tourism. DoubleApps created Knoxville, Tennessee’s first walking tour app, the Beck Tour. The award winning Beck Tour app is a GPS guided, walking tour highlighting Knoxville, Tennessee’s African American heritage. It has historic background, photos, and numerous videos, all at your fingertips. The Beck Tour uses GPS technology and all of the beautiful, richly textured content the Beck Center has created to render a fun, educational experience for the traveler. When you are traveling to a new place, do you check the app store to see if there are any travel guides? The iPad and iPhone are creating numerous opportunities in tourism. With GPS features, and with the ability to show written content, pictures and video, walking and drving tours are the new front in tourism.

 

Retail and Sales. Your products will look beautiful on iPad’s LED-backlit, high resolution screen. You can zoom in on images to highlight features. You can also show video that highlights features. Show your products on the iPad and the images will be crisp and bright. Moving between images and ideas is easy and fun on the iPad. It is the sales brochure of the 21st century but it allows for substantially greater impact. With the iPad, you can give the sales pitch, answer your customer’s questions, collect contact and billing information, and complete the transaction anywhere on a moment’s notice. If you have a larger planned audience, you can connect your iPad to an external display. The iPad makes it easy to capture and maintain your customer’s attention.

Business processes. An in-house app can help manage your operations and business systems in an efficient intuitive way. An in-house app often can integrate seamlessly with your company’s existing infrastructure. With iOS SDK, your in-house app can provide access to your web content so you can use your web development investments. An in-house app can also tap into back-office systems and data warehouses. The iPad and iPhone can also help your business to manage communications between end user and management and between your company and its customers.
