In the annals of digital technology, the iPhone’s release (June 29, 2007) is celebrated as ringing in a new era of innovation in communication. And rightfully so. But it could be argued that almost 13 months after that infamous debut came a just-as-important launch.
On July 10, 2008 Apple introduced the App Store. There were 500 apps in the store’s initial offering. By the beginning of 2023, there were more than 1.96 million.
All facets of not just the economy, but our individual lives, have changed from the development and implementation of apps. Getting around cities has become easier thanks to Uber. Connecting has gotten more streamlined due to mobile apps (Think Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat). Entertainment options are endless and at the tip of our fingertips 24/7 with gaming and streaming.
Yet not all apps are created equal. For every Uber and Instagram launch, there’s been dozens of failed attempts. And the same goes for business-oriented apps. That’s why the designers behind the relaunched RepConnect app were focused on the details to make the user-experience a powerful one for distributor reps. Among the key features:
No. 1: Instant accessibility
RepConnect provides reps instant access to their manufacturer partner’s rep lists, contacts, brochures, product information, website, white papers and more. The listings are free to use and easy to scroll. It allows you to more effectively prepare for client appointments, and be ready with materials during your meetings rather than having to waste time scrounging for the right paper products or having to get back to your client at a later time.
No. 2: Up-to-date news
As we all can attest to during the last few years, things change quickly in the U.S. healthcare supply chain. The RepConnect app includes an updated tracker with the latest industry specific news. Supply chain disruptions, mergers and acquisitions, products launches and industry news – it’s all there.
No. 3: Training videos
In the med/surg industry, movement is life. Rep Connect provides opportunities for reps to enhance their product knowledge and selling skills, so you’re always pushing forward in your wisdom and skillset.
RepConnect is a next-gen app with the right mix of tools, news and resources reps need to success in the field. To download the app, click here.
