Applications
Applications put data into the hands of users.
Overview
Apps are one of the best tools for both initial data collection and delivery of data to users. Modern apps run on both the web browser or a native mobile device but their data is delivered via the cloud. I focus on business apps in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) space that help businesses to run more efficiently.
Features
Easy To Use & Secure
I build apps that are easy to use and secure. They run on any device with clear navigation and large inputs for data entry and automated notifications. Follow best practices for data security and coding standards, utilize encryption for sensitive data and authenticate users before access is granted.
APIs
On the backend, seamlessly integrate APIs to add features and data from a third-party vendor. Examples of this would be the payment processor on an E-Commerce system or sending text messages on a messaging app.
Data Quality & Validation
At the application level, data quality is ensured by restricting data entry through dropdown list and performing data validation checks that ensure that data meets quality standards before writing to the database.
Analytics
Apps can incorporate analytics including downloadable reports based on user selections, interactive dashboards with data visualizations, predictive analytics and automated recommendations.
Use Cases
Common use cases for applications.
CRM
Apps that keep track of customer relationships and interactions to improve the sales process. Data could also be extracted and used in analytics.
Asset Management
Keep track of equipment and other assets important to the business. Know about the condition, location, serial numbers and much more.
Work Order
Work order management enables the efficient request, assignment and fulfillment of work order. Include automated customer notifications to enhance the experience.
Inventory Management
Manage inventory and know how much you have of each product, where it is and when you need to re-order. Integrate this with your online store that atomically updates.
