App Features
Our easy-to-use control panel will allow you to send out your own Push Notifications, set up GeoFences wherever you'd like, add or edit your own content, add your own calendar events, and virtually anything else that you would ever want to control in your app.
We have a complete "How-To" guide that will walk you through step-by-step directions including screen shots and information about each feature of the app. While we are always here to help you if you are in a bind- we always want you to know that even a novice user can navigate through our control panel and successfully run their app!
Is your company holding an event and you'd like to share the information with your app users? We have a completely native event calendar that allows you post event information, venue directions (via GPS through the phone), and even RSVP functionality right through the app!
With this function you can easily share basic business information with your users. They can see your business hours, call or email your business, or choose to receive turn-by-turn directions to your store. The easier you are to find and communicate with, the more customers you'll have at your locations!
We can hook your existing YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc. channels directly to your app. This makes it easy to share information with your users. For instance, when you upload a few new pictures to Instagram, they will automatically appear in your app to all of your users!
Surely you've seen the "punch cards" at your local sandwich shop... Each time you come in for lunch, they punch your card. On the 10th punch, you get a free sandwich? Well- we can provide you with that exact same capability right through your app, but don't be mistaken and think it's just for sandwiches.
With a little imagination, you can use this function for event attendance, number of times they've come into your retail store, etc.
You can also award the users more "points" for leaving location services and push notifications enabled!
With the ability to pass information through a QR code, your business can take advantage of some incredibly powerful marketing opportunities with a native QR Scanner.
This technology was originally developed for manufacturing in the automotive industry, but its applications in today's use are far more reaching. We'd like to provide you with some examples of ways that we have successfully implemented QR codes into our clients' business models. Click on a link below to expand that tab:
Does your business have a need for reservations? For instance, a restaurant might want to provide the ability for one section of tables to be reserved through their app while an attorney's office might want clients to be able to schedule appointments in their available time slots... Either way- we can help!
If you own a restaurant and are currently using a reservation system, chances are that we can connect your app directly to that system allowing you to manage your data exactly the way you currently are!

Have an e-commerce store on your website? Chances are- we can pull it directly into your app.
Don't have an e-commerce store but you'd like to be able to sell your product or service to your customers via your app? We have a 100% integrated, native function that will allow you to do just that.
Have a restaurant or coffee shop for which you'd like to accept orders via the app? No problem... We can certainly handle that as well. If your business is in the service industry, you need to check out our Service Industry page!
Collect payment right through the app, or allow the customer to pay when they get there. It's completely up to you!
Among the most attractive features of our mobile applications is the ability to send out push notifications based on geofencing. Bascially, this means that you can set a pre-determined area where you would like to send your customers a pre-written message or link.

How is this useful? Well, in an effort to protect the privacy of how many of our clients are using this functionality in their sites, we'll offer up some "hypothetical" uses for geofencing...
Local Restaurant/Bar
"John Doe's Mugs and Chugs" is a local restaurant/bar in a college sports town. The owner, John, doesn't have the same marketing budget as some of his more established competitors who can afford to advertise at university games, events, radio commercials, etc. Instead, he invests in a unique technology that allows him to reach out and touch his customers in a way that is both effective and affordable. John invests in an app...
John utilizes a rewards and loyalty program where each time a patron comes into the bar, their server "stamps their loyalty card" in the app by entering an employee code. By entering this code, their app adds 10 points to their loyalty program. Every time the patron reaches 100 points, he gets a free draft beer. To incentivize customers to download the app, they automatically get 20 points for installing it on their phone.
The opening day of football season is a busy time for this college town. In anticipation of a large crowd, John has set up a geofence around three of his competitors for two hours before the game starts, lasting until one hour after the game is over. As the crowds swarm in toward his "big marketing spender" competitors, John watches as they receive automatic push notifications informing them that John Doe's Mugs and Chugs has available seating and that each patron will receive a free 20 point credit on their loyalty card if they come to the bar. To the dismay of his competitors, patrons are diverted away from their establishments and head toward John's restaurant to watch the game.
Based on his loyalty program, 20 credit points cost John about $0.35 per customer. The average customer ordered $12 worth of food and $10 worth of drinks. The push notification and the geofence cost him nothing, therefore John literally used his competitor's advertisements to his advantage.
If you have a smartphone, then inevitably you've received Push Notifications from your favorite apps. They're small alerts that pop up on your phone to tell you something about that app... It may be a coupon code, a touchdown in a football game, or countless other reasons that apps send out push notifications. When you open them, they have the ability to direct you to a place that provides you with whatever the alert pertained to. For example, you receive a notification about a new menu item at your favorite restaurant. When you open the notification, you are directed to a brief write-up and a few images that describe the new dish.
