5 Pros of Hybrid Mobile App Development

The constantly beefed up computing powers of the latest smartphones, high-resolution screens, 4G and high-speed internet access for the masses is completely changing the trends of how people are accessing the internet. All this lead to people being more on mobiles than computers. The ease of mobility and the simplicity of instant access is changing the trends rapidly, people are preferring to access to the internet more from mobile devices rather than conventional computers.

There are two major classifications of the mobile app development on the bases of the technologies used to build them. The older and more conventional technology is called Native App building the modern and a bit advance technology is Hybrid Mobile App Development. Here are some of the benefits of having a modern hybrid app over the conventional native app.

Improved User Experience

Hybrid Mobile App Development technique is more flexible towards user interface designs and functionalities, the overall user experience and the interactiveness of the application is far superior than the native app development platforms. The updates and upgrades are also comparatively simple and quicker than conventional native apps.

Speed & Performance

After the user interface the second biggest concern of any mobile app developer is the speed of the mobile application hence it is a big challenge for mobile app development companies in Dubai. As different mobiles have different computing power, different operating systems and even different versions of the operating systems, especially in Android devices there is a lengthy list of available screen sizes and operating system versions.

So maintaining the similar user experience on all Apple and Android devices can only be achieved with a combination of the user interface and the speed of the content loading in the mobile application. Thankfully hybrid app development platforms are way too faster than the native app development platforms, as they typically do most of the computing on the server where they are hosted and require very less computing at the user’s mobile device. This ensures more than 90% similar user experience on all supported devices.

Innovative UI/UX Design

The advantage of having new technology is that you can have more innovation. There are a lot of features and interactive functionalities that can easily be done with the hybrid app development technology which was either not possible at all or is very hard to achieve with the native app development platforms. Another advantage of hybrid app development is that you can have so many functionalities which will enhance the user experience without compromising the load-time or speed of the mobile application.

Ease of Integration

The most important aspect of any mobile app development is its compatibility and integration with the smartphone, its data synchronization and compatibility with other applications. Both the native app building and hybrid app building techniques perform this with the device’s programing language which is quite efficient and if coupled with the super-fast and responsive user-interface of the hybrid app development technique it will surely be capable of delivering more than that of the native apps could ever do.

Offline mode

With the passage of time and the latest advancements in the hybrid mobile app development technologies, now the offline mode of a hybrid app is equally useful and effective than that of its counterpart, the native apps. Even the hybrid apps are performing well with the offline mode as well. The hybrid app development technology allows their users to carry on their work in offline mode by downloading the requisites in the mobile phone’s memory or cache. This also helps people who have limited data plans, or people who are living in low coverage areas.

As the Dubai and the whole UAE itself is a large metropolitan and people from all around the world are coming here for business purposes as well as for vocation and leisure this makes it a really competitive playground, the consumer’s standards are as high as the sky, the innovation and creativity is praised the most, people have a certain taste for everything. Which is the reason being a smartphone app developer company in Dubai we are always been asked by our customers for the only best solution.

Not only that but as the technologies are advancing very rapidly so in order to keep up you must have to upgrade your products and services too, or at least how you are furnishing them to your customers, and in case of the mobile apps the hybrid app development is way too expandable and easy to upgrade platform than the native app building platforms. The user-interface is superior and the integration and synchronization techniques are efficient, the application’s speed is higher, and overall, the hybrid app building technology is far superior to the native app building.

Conclusion

The hybrid app building platforms are not only superior in the functionality and performance but they are also way too simple and easy to work upon. A mobile app development company requires fewer resources and can do the project on shorter lead time as compared to the native app building. This results in great ROIs for the customers as well.

Can a Queue Management System Improve Customer Experience?

Waiting is always a difficult and irritating task for anyone. Good customer experience can be achieved with an outstanding Queue Management System that can enhance customer perception. A properly managed queue system can benefit both the staff and customer alike. With technology, the Queue System in Dubai has seen many positive changes. There was a time when only moving the customers into and outside of the business was all that was cared about. But now that there are various other options, the Customer Experience is improved by many folds.

Appointments and Scheduling

There are certain kinds of businesses which can help the queue system by allowing appointments and schedules that can be pre-booked online or through their call centres. This helps the customer create a connection with the business, gives better customer satisfaction and also helps with staff scheduling. Ultimately, there is an increase in revenue too.

Management of each individual case

When customers visit your business, it is not right to pass them onto the next person, where he/she has to repeat their whole story till they are sent to the right person who can deal with their problem. It is only the right kind of case management that can save a customer from this kind of ordeal. This can be done only when information is accurately captured and recorded so that it can be accessed when staff or representative needs it and accordingly helps the customer. Also, the past contacts can be recorded so the next representative can see the flow of the system.

Customer Flow System

Some businesses can do well with a self-service kiosk wherein the customer can line up in a virtual queue or an electronic queuing system. This allows them to help themselves or if not then the customers are asked a couple of questions which would determine what representative would be able to help them best.

Digital Media

When there are digital displays in the waiting area or queue area, it keeps the customer entertained while they are waiting. It also gives you an opportunity for selling. At grocery stores and other shops, the same system can be used to show the number of people waiting at each queue, which gives the customer the liberty to choose which queue he/she would like to join in.

Messaging

Who doesn’t have a smartphone these days? These smart-systems can also be used to enhance the customer experience. These can be used by a customer for booking appointments and also they can be texted in advance to let them know or as a reminder of their appointment. If the appointment system hasn’t been used, the organization can still send a message to the customer to inform them that they are the next to be served. This gives the customer enough time to continue to shop or browse around and gives you extra revenue.

These kinds of modern Queuing Systems can bring in enhanced customer experience and makes it more efficient for your employees and customers both. Customers would be given the feeling that their best interests are being taken care of. When you implement things that bring their waiting time down or make it easier for them to explain their case history, it makes them feel unique and appreciated. Employees also appreciate it as it means that it is more of a planned and organized scenario. All this ultimately leads to a better business scene.

Queue Management not only helps your business, but it brings it forward. It gives a modernized feel and can set you apart from other businesses with an atmosphere of forward-thinking. Enhancing customer experience can launch a business into the future and make it cutting edge.
