Jade Launches Mobility Application Development Division

UK (SANEPR.com) August 5, 2008 -- Jade Communications, one of the UK’s leading providers of voice and data communications technologies for business, has launched its Mobility Application Development division. The new division enables Jade to quickly develop highly customised applications for a wide range of mobile communications devices and platforms used by business in retail, transport and logistics and other markets. As a result, Jade customers will find they can more quickly and easily take advantage of mobile technology to cut costs, improve business processes and enhance customer service.

“Having the right mobile devices for your business is one thing,” says Dave Sharratt, Director of Jade Communications, “But to take full advantage you also need mobile applications that work for you and work for your business. With the launch of our new Mobility Application Development division, we have brought together in one specialist team all the resources we need to provide our customers with tailored, robust, scalable, and secure mobile applications.”

Jade has experience in developing custom applications for a wide range of different businesses including those in retail, transport and logistics, manufacturing, construction and the public sector. Mobile applications available from Jade include proof of delivery, meter reading, asset management, stock control, supply chain management and works order automation. Retail-specific applications include price mark down, shelf edge price management, kiosk and assisted shopper.

“Over the years many businesses have realised the cost of trying to make out-of-the-box applications fit their businesses processes,” adds Dave Sharratt. “We turn that around to develop mobile applications that fit to the business. Our applications are device independent too, so our customers can avoid be locked into one hardware vendor.”

Jade Communications has developed enterprise mobility applications for Windows mobile, Palm and other PDA devices and is currently working with Intermec to develop a mobile application for retail customers, due for launch this autumn.
