New platform uses machine learning to streamline mobile development
Businesses are under increasing pressure to create mobile apps, but often lack the resources to do so effectively. Workplace mobility specialist PowWow Mobile is launching a new platform that lets users build apps faster and with less code.
SmartUX Studio is designed to easily transform functional web-based or Windows business applications into intuitive, modern mobile app experiences.
Using a machine-learning engine it adds the legacy application's features and UI components to a drag-and-drop menu so users can quickly assemble mobile applications, saving on design and re-development time.
It includes a SmartStudio, enabling the use of mobile-first features that consumers are used to, such as alerts and notifications, touchID, camera, map location (GPS) and NFC capabilities. Multi-app workflows, allow users to build in logic from numerous apps, simplifying processes for employees. It also offers Smart roaming, allowing sessions across mobile devices, so users can start and complete information on different devices. The platform includes support for multiple devices including wearables.
The SmartUX Platform is compatible with any iOS, Android or HTML5 device, allowing users to design and build without the need to use device specific programming languages. This helps drive down development costs while providing a broader option of devices.
"Enterprises are hungry for mobile apps to help them meet their digital workplace needs, but finding the budget to outsource development work or the labor in-house can be difficult, keeping them from taking advantage of the benefits of enterprise mobility," says Kia Behnia, CEO of PowWow Mobile. "PowWow is the only company with the ability to transform Windows and web-based legacy applications into smart, mobile apps -- dramatically improving the user experience and the functionality along the way".
SmartUX Platform is currently in beta and will be generally available in June. You can find out more in the PowWow Mobile website.
