How To Create Digital Signatures?

Snappii is proud to announce Sign/Draw button/field support for its mobile apps. With the help of it it is possible now to create and share digital signatures or draw pictures and send them to your friends and etc. Just add this element to Custom tab or to Form tab as a field and draw anything you would like to share. Let's see what digital signature is. 

A Digital signature takes the concept of traditional paper-based signing and turn it into an electronic "fingerprint.” This "fingerprint,” or coded message, is unique to both the document and the signer and binds both of them together. The digital signature ensures the authenticity of the signer. Any changes made to the document after it is signed invalidate the signature, thereby protecting against signature forgery and information tampering. Digital signatures help organizations sustain signer authenticity, accountability, data integrity and non-repudiation of electronic documents and forms. 

Many aspects of an organization's workflow processes require formal authorizations or approvals. So Sign/Draw element will simplify your work and together with electonic forms will become a perfect alternative to numerous paper forms and documentation. "Eliminate paper work and go green" can now become your company motto as your  iPhone/iPad or Android app will offer you great opportunities for your business expand and success. Make an app with this feature yourself or have our team built it for you. We would love to see your feedback here.

Green Alliance Created Their App With Snappii

The Green Alliance was born from a partnership of community environmental advocacy and business ingenuity. Green Alliance founding business, Simply Green Biofuels, was trying to break into a market dominated by fossil fuels, when they realized that an alliance of similarly green-minded businesses might bring more tangible results. Simply Green owner Andrew Kellar knew that Seacoast residents using biofuel would probably be similarly interested in green landscaping companies, green restaurants, and the like. Kellar had the idea of teaming up with these other local green businesses, where each business would offer each other's customers mutual discounts, while sharing best business practices and marketing techniques.

As an organization representing over 100 local businesses from across industries and sectors, the Green Alliance (GA) has long had devices on developing an app that would bring all of their clients under one, hand-held umbrella. Those digital dreams finally came true last month when Snappii – a GA member company specializing in smart phone app development for small businesses – announced the roll-out of a comprehensive, multi-feature GA app.

GA app is easy to find in the Appstore, it is compatible for both iPhone and iPad. Download this app totally for free to activate your Mobile Green card and use for exclusive savings with all the Green Alliance Business Partners. This useful app will allow users to find the nearest locations, communicate via Facebook and Twitter, get Push Notifications about special deals and the latest news, watch videos and much more.

How To Improve Retail Business Using Mobile Apps

A new wave of mobile retail apps allows smartphones and tablets to be used for in-store promotion, marketing and purchasing services. Retailers can differentiate their customer engagement and needs by creating powerful apps for customers’ smartphones. These applications can be delivered over cellular networks or via in-store customer Wi-Fi portals. These apps designed for mobile workers and customers give retailers new opportunities to retain customers, cross-sell and up-sell products and services and improve customer satisfaction. Mobile apps simplify the process of shopping and attract new clients as most people have gadgets and use them for a great range of activities and not only to make calls and send SMS.

Retailers are improving their service by giving their associates Apple iPads and iPhones that be used to bring up product catalogs, product reviews and videos. List functionality to see which items are sold and Product list to specify what you want to buy this time. Customers also can find store locations using nearby functionality, and place orders online using digital forms.

Other retailers have created concierge apps for modern devices that allow shoppers to get independent reviews and videos, and give feedback or connect with social media. Shoppers can use mobile apps to “check in” when they arrive at a store, which presents retailers with new opportunities to reward loyal customers and their friends. QR codes coupons work this way and allow frequent buyers get specials, freebies, bigger discounts by scanning them using special iPhone and Android smartphone apps.

That's why it is easy for retailers to use in-store marketing apps to present shoppers with financial incentives, such as rewards and discounts. Shoppers can also use mobile e-commerce apps to buy a product if it is out of stock in the brick-and-mortar store. Or shoppers can buy on their phone, and pick up their purchase in the store.

To survive in the frames of constant competition most retailers will need to support their business by having their own app. If you already have an app idea you are welcome to visit Snappii website and fill in the form with your requirements to help Snappii team better understand and build your mobile app for retail business.

Transportation and Logistics Apps

Transportation and logistics businesses depend much on time accuracy. It is really significant to deliver goods for instance from one country or state to another on time especially if the order is special and regard products which are easily spoiled. Using GPS navigaters is not enough to supply truck drivers. Any truck can break on the way to a destination and schedule will need to be altered. It is impossible to take into account all the potential factors which can influence. Besides truckers' tasks include much paper work which they would like to get rid of as it takes more time and they are always short of it.

The best solution for people occupied in transportation or logistics business can be a mobile app which include far more powerful features than usual GPS navigator. It will show you the route, arrange your schedule and the following things:

 

-        Eliminate paper forms

Just filling out electronic forms will be enough. They are easy to input especially on devices with big displays like iPads and Android tablets. Modern devices are compact and store a lot of data to work with.

-        Accelerate invoicing

Again fill in the required info and submit it via emails or server side. Use calculators which work offline, digital signature will allow to sign out documents without the necessity to be at place. Apps make purchases possible e.g. via PayPal functionality.

-        Improve communication with drivers in the field

Good communication while drivers are going is too necessary. Always be in touch with them and make sure your deliver will be successful.
