How ViziApps Works
Time to Frontline (TTF) – the time between when a new supply chain need or improvement is identified and the mobile tool to solve it is in the hands of your frontline workers – is the critical KPI for supply chain agility and success.
At most large retailers, Time to Frontline is weeks or months. With ViziApps, TTF is reduced to days or sometimes only hours.
The key difference is not in shortening the time needed to develop mobile apps – many tools provide rapid application development (RAD) – but rather the time it takes to deploy a secure app. By using ViziApps within your IT security perimeter, you can deploy the app as soon as its developed.
Step 1: We set up ViziApps with you within your security perimeter
Our technical services team can set up a secure ViziApps app development and deployment environment on a private cloud inside your security perimeter, enabling you to deploy and update apps as soon as they’re ready, without lengthy security approval cycles for each app.
Once your app is ready, publish it directly to your frontline workers — instantly.
- Deploy inside your private cloud or secure perimeter.
- Deliver to rugged handhelds, tablets, or smartphones used by your teams.
- Skip lengthy IT per app security reviews and app store submission cycles .
Your frontline people quickly get the new and updated mobile tools they need.
Step 2: Design Your Apps However You Want
Your frontline teams know what the problems and improvement opportunities are. ViziApps provides multiple tools to build apps fully with no or low code: our no code app builder and visual app builder studio feel as familiar as building PowerPoints or Google Slides.
With ViziApps’ tools you can:
- Drag and drop screens, forms, images, buttons, and data fields.
- Securely connect via drag ‘n drop to your data and IoT sources.
- Add workflow logic using simple visual rules — not coding syntax.
- Preview your app instantly on your phone, tablet, or desktop browser.
Or your team may prefer to create apps with other tools such as:
- Flutter
- React Native
- Xcode or Android Studio
- Or Vibe Coding with GenAI
The ViziApps app publishing platform supports them all.
Step 3: Securely connect to your Data and AI
Using your preferred app building tools, ViziApps securely connects your apps to your existing and evolving business systems.
- Link to cloud and edge databases, AI LLM and ML APIs, IoT sensors, spreadsheets, and WMS and ERP systems with a few clicks.
- Use the built-in connectors for SQL, REST, Google Sheets, and more
- Use and capture data flows in real time — from DC/warehouse floor to edge handheld computers to AI and back.
All using your proprietary data and AI Models, your most precious assets.
Step 4: Continuously Improve
With ViziApps’ system in place, you can reduce your Time to Frontline to hours or days. App development and deployment are no longer constraints. And that makes continuous improvement of your supply chain a reality.
- Edit workflows and push updates in minutes.
- Integrate AI decision support to make frontline tools – and your AI models – smarter over time.
- Every new data point from your edge workers can feed and train your AI models and systems.
And your supply chain becomes your agile competitive advantage.
