Sprint
has partnered with leading solutions providers to deliver the Sprint Biz App
Marketplace. Available at Sprint Biz App Marketplace, the self-service
portal gives customers the ability to browse and purchase a variety of
applications targeted specifically to address businesses’ mobile application
needs.
Businesses
can discover and acquire applications that Sprint has vetted as trusted and
appropriate to a business customer, including those for location, navigation,
fleet asset and time tracking, wireless payments, workflow and productivity. To
quickly guide customers towards solutions that are relevant to them, users can
find applications by industry or search by type, keyword or provider.
In
addition to finding and acquiring applications, the Sprint Biz App Marketplace
is also a management portal. Businesses can manage application licenses, when
applicable, and indicate which devices/users should receive the application,
including ongoing management of activations and deactivations of applications
on users’ devices. All applications in the marketplace are Sprint-billed thus
streamlining the billing process for businesses.
The
Biz App Marketplace helps increase Sprint’s
responsiveness to changes in the marketplace. For example, Sprint quickly
worked with ZoomSafer, a provider of risk-management solutions, to deliver
applications that help prevent accidents from distracted driving.
FleetSafer
Mobile is a patented software application for smartphones that detects when
employees are driving and automatically enforces compliance with defined mobile
phone use policies. FleetSafer Vision is a clientless, cloud-based analytics
solution that measures employee use of any cell phones while driving, so
employers can report and manage compliance with defined policies.
The
new Sprint Biz App Marketplace makes it very easy for companies to find and
purchase innovative enterprise applications, such as FleetSafer Vision and
FleetSafer Mobile to help reduce the risk and liability and advance their
business,”said Matt Howard, co-founder and CEO of ZoomSafer.
We’re
pleased to offer a virtual marketplace to make it easy for business customers
to purchase and manage applications for their employees. The Sprint Biz App
Marketplace provides our business customers with a diverse suit of
applications, enabling them to fully embrace mobility,” said Tom Roberts, vice
president of business marketing – Sprint.
Mobile
business applications are available through Sprint Business, which is composed
of sales, support, marketing and operations personnel solely dedicated to
enterprise, small – and medium-sized business and public sector customers.
Sprint delivers wireless, wireline and converged solutions for companies,
drawing on its 3G and 4G wireless capabilities, push-to-talk network, Global IP
network and growing portfolio of M2M partners and solutions.
