For most of our clients, native mobile applications are not that exciting anymore. Whenever there is a need for a convenient user interaction on a mobile device, and a low entry threshold, we offer our clients one of the two solutions: chatbots or Progressive Web Apps (PWA).
Let’s start!Progressive applications are written in web languages using JavaScript and frameworks. The difference between a PWA and a standard application launched from a browser is that a PWA works just like a mobile application. In particular, a PWA can work offline, send notifications or use mobile phone functions such as GPS, camera, gestures, etc. And what is more, you do not need to download it from Google Play or AppStore.
The major benefit of developing a mobile application in progressive web apps technology is that you save your time and resources. It is because, when creating a PWA we use only one team of programmers who utilize a single technology stack.This means that we write the application only once, but it will work well on all platforms, whether it is Android, iOS, Windows or desktop.
PWA applications can be quickly integrated with existing databases or content management systems. In this way, we achieve considerable flexibility in connecting and further developing the back-end of the application.
The progressive web apps prove very helpful for enterprises that aim at performing specific business, informative, sales or customer care functions.
PWA implementations will work excellently with any communication and marketing activities of the company. We are positive that with a PWA many companies will significantly improve their customer communication and take a step forward into the omnichannel era.
