Would you manage your business on your mobile?
« on: November 24, 2010, 05:41:50 pm »
I'm working on software to allow you to use your smartphone to track your due jobs, payments received, etc (a bit like Pocket George if you are familiar with that). Would any of you guys use something like that on your phone or do you think it's a gimmicky idea? What other things would you like to be able to do on your phone? Perhaps you can think about this whilst waiting for the snow to stop  ;D

I would love to have my round, debts, takings on my iPhone. But it would depend on how much it would cost?

no!not for me!i like having my work on my laptop at home as i like to spend my time at work cleaning as much as i can!then i spend 10 mins in the evening updating then another 10 mins printing invoices etc.etc.


mobiles are easily lost/damaged or stolen and are too small for round software IMO.im more than happy to just have it for the purpose it was intended for.(calls and texts)

price higher/work harder!

I'm really talking about a system for iPhone/Blackberry/Android type phones, which are so much easier to use that the old Palm or Windows Mobile variety. I'm hoping that most owners of these type of phones would love a window cleaning app! (but I could be wrong  ???)

@doctorwindows The app I'm working on wouldn't cost anything as I'm just providing a way to access your existing Aworka account on your mobile. It would be too risky to run your business solely from your phone as they are too easy to lose or damage, so there would always need to be communication with a cloud-based system (like mine), or synchronisation with a desktop PC app (like George or WCP) to ensure your data is backed up.

My software is web based and theoretically I could run it off my X10, (provided I made the programme accessible via the www)

Not really sure on that though, there are loads of benefits etc. Would it be "cloud based" that way if the phone is lost/stolen it is not such a major issue.

Is that the software you are using? When you say you could theoretically run it on your X10, do you mean just by viewing the normal web site on your phone, or is their a mobile optimised version?

No that's not mine.

Mine is basically a website that is not hooked to the web (if you see what I mean)

It could be made available online then I could access it through my web browser on the phone.
