EDM firm Sodick has launched a free iPhone/iPad app to provide: up-to-the minute news, dealer and distributor contacts throughout Europe; dates and locations of forthcoming exhibitions; as well as latest product announcements.
"Advances in technology are changing the way that we, and our customers, do business all the time and the iPhone and iPad offer an excellent opportunity to interact conveniently, directly and rapidly with the whole EDM community," said Jan van Egmond, president of Sodick Europe.
"We see the development of our app as being very much complementary to our other channels of communication; our websites, the media – both printed and digital, and of course, face-to-face meetings at Open Houses and Exhibitions.
"However, with so many people spending an increasing amount of time away from the office, an iPhone/iPad app has the great advantage of providing information on the move - when, where and how it is wanted."
"Two of the unique benefits of an app are its ease of interactivity and its functional richness and we certainly see great potential for the Sodick app in these areas. We are therefore very keen to hear directly from users what capabilities and information they would most like to see incorporated into the App and how they would like to see the app develop in the future."
The Sodick iPhone/iPad App can be downloaded from the App Store.
