Why You Want a Mobile App
These days businesses are using apps to make life easier and save time. Think of scanning a QR code to view a food menu, a digital wallet to pay your bill, etc. If your business can offer your clients value, make their life easier, save them time or money, then a mobile app could be a good investment.
Another purposeful reason to build an app could be to improve internal business processes by offering your staff an app to carry out their work, eventually saving your business time and money. Think of availability and calendar type apps, resource booking and inventory management.
A purposeful / useful mobile app can offer your clients value by taking advantage of mobile phone features that aren’t available on your regular website. It can also simplify the experience for users with a dedicated mobile app version of your site.
