The Ultimate Benefits of Building a Mobile App for Your Industry

blog_img
We only encourage industry creativity to embrace change and adapt to new technologies because we now know that there is no road forward if there is no transformation.

When an expert tends to give advice, we take some and ignore many. The self-realization happens only after going through the experiences, often the expensive ones. This is the one single mindset that has been found in businesses across all industries.

A growing number of organizations across industries have realized this fact and thus, their next business move is to have a mobile app solution for the B2B and B2Cproducts and service they are offering globally. No industry, be it healthcare, media and entertainment, sports, food and restaurant, real estate, banking and finance, education and eLearning or travel is exempt from this shifting panorama.

All these industries got transformed when the internet brought them online, and that change has now reached to mobile apps. In order to reach the global audience, especially millennials, we don’t have a choice but to move to mobile.

A preeminent example of this is how Starbucks finally rolled out its mobile app. They say ‘there are now more ways to order your Starbucks coffee.’ The app comes with ‘scan to pay’ and ‘shake to pay’ features that allow customers to do digital payments. In fact, in some of the regions, the coffee giant has enabled orders via Amazon’s Alexa. About 13 million customers have signed up for Starbucks Rewards and 9 million have been paying through their mobile devices.

Though the mobile app adoption hasn’t come easy to the coffee chain, they have witnessed a 20 percent jump in mobile pay and ordering across 1200 of its locations, last year.

Since then, Starbucks mentioned that it is testing new ways to make the process smoother and more engaging for every coffee enthusiast.

Clearly, this is the future of business, and you must be ready to roll, else you won’t qualify the race.

While some of the startups and enterprises are still not sure about having a mobile app, we have put together the several reasons, the several benefits of owning one, spanning all industries. We’ve covered each industry separately stating a logical and pragmatic reason to count on the goods you can earn by appearing on millions of mobile screens.

Healthcare & Fitness

Now we are at the crossroads in healthcare history that has brought almost as much change in the last few years as all the previous eras and the centuries before. Mobile technology has delivered commendable features to patients and providers. For years, patients have been standing in long queues to get a doctor’s appointment, even if they are running a temperature or for their regular blood pressure, sugar level checkups.

But today, innovation in healthcare has taken the form of extremely convenient services of measuring glucose levels, heart rate, getting a prescription for normal fever and alike being at home, through mobile devices. Fitness has become an obsession for most millennials, and smart watches like Fitbit, iWatch have brought a phenomenal change in the lifestyle of people of all ages. They can now keep themselves out of doctor’s office and monitor their calorie intake, diabetics as long as it isn’t an emergency.

Advanced health apps can now function like your personal dietician and advice you the best foods for the day, to keep fit and healthy. Some others can also provide first aid wherever you are.

Similarly, information-based apps can be of great help to doctors and practitioners as they can stay up-to-date with the latest healthcare news delivered to your mobile devices and keep themselves away from the troubles of manually providing appointment slots. Through the app, it’s easy and quick.

Travel & Hospitality

As ride sharing and cab hiring have become mainstream, we have seen how travel industry has pushed the boundaries and made mobile its best pal.

Apps like Airbnb, Uber, Hotel Tonight, Skyscanner have offered an all-new travel experience whether traveling to a foreign land or hanging around the local places.

Education and eLearning

Smartphones have taken learning beyond classrooms and textbooks and made it exciting to understand the concepts through group learning, having discussions on topics from the comfort of home. These apps use tutorial videos and interactive tools to make learning interesting and engaging. Professors and education experts have realized that young generation can learn better when it is presented on appealing screens.

Though it can’t replace classroom teaching and the needs of physical schools and institutes can never die out, these eLearning platforms are an added advantage to innovative learning, especially for the ones busy in their daily jobs, routine tasks, who can’t afford to go to colleges but can take online courses and complete their projects at their convenience. The idea is to get the children and for that matter, people of all ages, to be interested in learning anytime, from anywhere, without being restricted to the limited teaching hours.
