Avoka Teams with Windows to Release Mobile App

Remember when your grandparents used to start stories like, “Back in the day…” or “When I was your age…?” Phrases like that always seemed to point to something archaic, far before our time. And yet in our modern world, things continue to change – just look at the workforce and the influence mobile has had on it. With a new partnership between Avoka and Windows, the mobile workforce will not only grow, but improve.

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) company Avoka has teamed with Windows to create a mobile app of its services, available on the Windows store. Avoka helps organizations turn transactions into cross-channel mobile interactions, and the new app is intended to reduce paper-centered workforces into reorganized processes for mobile data collection.

The app will work directly with Avoka Transact, the company’s pre-existing multi-channel digital business platform. Transact aims to make the work force more efficient by allowing both on-site and offline data collection, so fields like healthcare and construction can complete projects in a more streamlined fashion. What’s more, the new app will be able to be linked to enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and thus be able to deliver such items as work tickets and report forms across a wide mobile workforce. This interconnectedness will ideally boost productivity, reduce costs and speed up necessary procedures.

Philip Copeland, CEO of Avoka, said in a statement, “Our goal is to make data collection easily available from any device so that organizations can significantly improve their on-site productivity, even when offline…The Avoka Transact Mobile App makes it incredibly easy for field workers to quickly do business on a mobile device such as Windows Surface.”

The app became available on December 19, and hopefully the partnership will allow for more efficiency in various fields of work.  Before we know it, the days of paper-centered workforces will be “the good old days” – that’s something to tell your grandkids about.
