ViziApps has been adding many features that make it faster and easier than ever before to create mobile apps for enterprise and commercial applications. Now ViziApps announces the availability of QR Code and Barcode scanning, seamlessly integrated into mobile apps with very little effort.

Some of the most common barcodes that you see are Universal Product Codes used for pricing and inventory control, and which can be seen on nearly all packaged products found in supermarkets as well as many other kinds of stores. Since they are so easy to generate, print, and affix to packages, barcodes have greatly improved the operations of many companies and industries, for example they are used to track packages by courier and shipping companies.

QR (or Quick Response) codes have the same ease of generation and printing as barcodes, but allow for much larger data representation. One of the most common uses that you see for QR codes is a quick reference to a URL, typically for finding a website or mobile app. QR codes have the ability to represent more than a thousand characters of text, or even binary data, so they are finding their way into a wide variety of commercial applications.

The quickest way to learn about integrating QR Codes and barcodes into mobile apps is to examine the Design Catalog template in the ViziApps Studio. This demonstration app shows you how to insert a single button in your app that call up the image scanner, and then automatically shows you the code’s value once the scan is successful. The scanned value is held in a variable that can then be used for any purpose, such as setting the URL in a browser, or performing a database query based on this value.

The ability to privately publish and manage mobile business apps is essential for many mobile business processes executed by employees, partners, or customers. Now you can select the Apperian EASE Mobile App Management option to publish your apps from ViziApps to your Apperian account with one click.

ViziApps’ seamless integration with Apperian, Inc., the enterprise mobile application management (MAM) pioneer, enables ViziApps users to publish their apps directly with Apperian’s EASE MAM platform and their own enterprise app store. Businesses often want to distribute and manage such B2E apps directly for employee, partner, and customer user business processes and mobile workflow, rather than expose them in the public App Store and Google play app market.

ViziApps apps are now easy to distribute, manage, and monitor – right from your EASE Admin Control Console and Dashboard. ViziApps enterprise users now enjoy key benefits building their enterprise mobile apps, including:

  • 1-Click app publishing with Apperian’s “enterprise app store” platform that hundreds of enterprises are already using today
  • Rich mobile app management capabilities to manage and track app updates, apply security policies, manage testing, and track user feedback
  • Integrated app signing to sign or re-sign iOS and Android apps for full enterprise distribution, or update existing apps with new credentials
  • Faster app adoption and higher ROI through app analytics to tune mobile business processes
  • User feedback capabilities that will let users post comments, ideas and report bugs quickly and easily

“ViziApps ability to create business mobile apps quickly without coding, now seamlessly combined with Apperian EASE, provides a powerful and elegant solution for enterprises to mobilize their work force and business processes,” said Cimarron Buser, Vice President of Business Development at Apperian.

Using ViziApps Studio, enterprise and small business users and their IT consultants and Digital Marketing suppliers can now quickly build mobile apps with Apperian EASE App Management without coding. sexpromo These apps can use native device features and manage data from SQL databases, Google Drive spreadsheets, Intuit QuickBase, Salesforce.com, Force.com, and Database.com to run on iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets.

ViziApps now supports direct integration of RSS Feeds from your app with no coding. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web standard for publishing frequently updated information in a standardized format using links. For example, you can use RSS to display a list of news items with links to web pages.

RSS is now a new ViziApps field that you can add to any page. In the property sheet, give it a name, RSS title, the feed URL and one of two ways to display the RSS items:

RSS Display with Title and Date
RSS Display with Image, Title, Date

Then, when your app runs and the RSS feed is displayed, the user can tap on one of the rows, and the associated link in the RSS feed is used to popup a web page.

Near Field Communications (NFC) is set to change our culture! NFC will change how we pay, how we find stuff and how we enter secure spaces. It’s in our mobile devices so anyone can use it just by sliding our device over a tag. NFC is that new technology that enables your smartphone or tablet apps to read NFC Tags and interact with other NFC enabled devices with a simple tap.

You may already be using NFC in your Android phone to make credit card payments, download product info from store shelves, navigate your way in a tradeshow or open your office door.

Many new Android devices have NFC support built-in, and it is heavily rumored that Apple will add NFC support for it’s next version of iPhones and iPads.

ViziApps now supports NFC for its hybrid mobile apps running on Android devices, and we’ll add iOS NFC support when Apple adds NFC in those devices. Mobile NFC can open whole new possibilities for the user experience and interaction with the physical environment in your ViziApps apps. It opens up a host of opportunities for potentially every app user with an NFC-enabled mobile phone. Here’s a small sample of Mobile NFC use-cases:

  • eWallet and mobile commerce transactions
  • Trade Show exhibit floor navigation
  • Retail mobile-to-shelf promotions and loyalty programs
  • Product inventory and replacement parts tracking
  • Field Service equipment and location tracking
  • Marketing and Social Media campaigns
  • Secure access to facilities

Here’s how it works. ViziApps gives you 3 options for NFC Tag responses:

  • Tag Info: Displays the NFC Tag info in a webpage popup. This is useful for testing NFC tags when developing your app.
  • Display Payload: Displays the website from the URL in the payload of the Tag.
  • NFC Callback: Passes the tag info to a JavaScript function you create for your app.

App Design Property to Set NFC in your App

To enable NFC support in your hybrid app, just go to App Properties, and select “Set Near Field Communications”. Then select the type of action you want when an NFC tag is read and save your selection. When your app runs, your selected action will happen as you slide your mobile device over a tag.
