Did you know we’ve become so dependent on our smartphones that there’s a word coined for the fear of being without a phone? Yes, the word is Nomophobia. In fact, a recent study found that more than half the people surveyed felt an emotion that can be best described as high anxiety at the thought of losing their phones or even running out of battery while on the go! Given the high dependence on phones and data showing that an average adult spends more than 2.5 hours a day on mobile apps, it comes as no surprise that more companies are also investing in Android and iPhone application development, following trends driven by consumers.

This platform has multiple e-configured modules to suit every industry and business. The platform also featured pre-built technology components and pre-built connectors for instant integration of these tools. The pre-coded modules already incorporated industry best practices and were totally bug-free. The platform also had single-click integration with a host of third-party apps as well as built-in connectors with legacy systems.
