AffinityLive Launches Android Mobile App

Business management software company launches first version of Android app, bringing business on the go for professional services professionals

AffinityLive, the makers of a suite of professional services automation software tools, launched its Android app recently which improves the ability of professionals to stay up-to-date on their client work in one app while they are away from the office.

The AffinityLive Android app gives users mobile access to their AffinityLive accounts to review, complete and record tasks across clients, sales, projects, service issues and retainers. The app includes features such as:

  • Support for 92% of all Android devices (v4.0) across hundreds of different handsets.
  • Inclusion of sales, projects, issues and retainers modules.
  • Updated app navigation to make it easy to find anything stored in AffinityLive.
  • Task timers that sync with AffinityLive’s web app making it easy to track work.

“It’s exciting because this app allows Android users for the first time to see what's going on through their entire business in one place,” said Geoff McQueen, CEO of AffinityLive. “Every customer point of contact, every sale, all retainers and client projects are in one location on users’ phones. Built-in timers can even help users can keep track of the work they’re doing on the go.”

AffinityLive previously integrated directly with iOS, Android and Windows devices through the contact, calendar and email features, so users can keep using the built-in address book, email and calendar apps but still have full, automatic sync with AffinityLive. Building on this popular core integration, the new app makes it easy to interact with the kinds of important sale, project and service information not found elsewhere, making it easy to go deeper and let users work better on a team basis while on the go.

“So much of our work happens away from the office on mobile devices and that poses a risk to projects,” said McQueen. “If the work we do on our mobile devices isn’t synchronized with the rest of our team, important information is siloed and lost in the shuffle. Now professionals can see, in real time, exactly where the status of sales, projects and other client work, and easily connect with their teammates.”

The new Android app is available for free and can be downloaded through the Google Play.
