SmartUX Studio lets you transform legacy apps to mobile ones

Enterprises desperately want to build more mobile apps for their businesses, but many are unable to do so due to a lack of resources. Now, to help smaller enterprises solve this dilemma, a startup called PowWow Mobile has created a new platform for building apps faster, using less code.

PowWow Mobile’s SmartUX Platform helps developers to transform already-functioning web-based or Windows apps into what it calls “intuitive, modern mobile app experiences”. The software relies on a machine-learning engine that helps it to add the legacy app’s features and UI components to a drag-and-drop menu, from where devs can easily rebuild the application for mobile devices. The end result is faster development, which big savings on the costs of doing so.

SmartUX Platform comes with a SmartStudio, which enables the use of mobile-first features like alerts and notifications, touchID, camera, map location (GPS) and NFC capabilities that people are already familiar with. Another feature called Multi-app workflows allows for “logic” to be built into numerous apps, which simplifies things for employees. There’s also Smart roaming, which allows sessions from across mobile devices, allowing users to begin and complete tasks using different devices. The platform itself supports multiple mobile devices, including wearables.

Most importantly, SmartUX Platform is compatible with Android, iOS and all HTML5 devices, which means apps can be built without any knowledge of specific programming languages. This superb feature drives down the costs of development significantly.

“Enterprises are hungry for mobile apps to help them meet their digital workplace needs, but finding the budget to outsource development work or the labor in-house can be difficult, keeping them from taking advantage of the benefits of enterprise mobility,” said Kia Behnia, CEO of PowWow Mobile. “PowWow is the only company with the ability to transform Windows and web-based legacy applications into smart, mobile apps — dramatically improving the user experience and the functionality along the way”.

SmartUX Platform is still in beta, but will hit general availability sometime next month.
