Challenge
Much of the work done by Hayat Communications relies on its employees doing field work in multiple countries. The company wanted to improve its efficiency and field productivity by building a software platform that combines a mobile app with a back-office application. The company was looking for a solution that would improve productivity, give database access, relieve the back-office workload, improve reporting accuracy and improve customer service.
Solution
Hayat Communications created a document outlining the system's requirements based on a comprehensive audit of requirements by multiple departments and current projects in all the countries in which the business operates. Based on the document and additional research, Hayat decided to develop the solution itself, using a Rapid Mobile Application Development (RMAD) platform. It compared RMAD solutions from a number of vendors and found that Alpha Anywhere was the best suited for the project. "Alpha Anywhere ticked all the boxes," says Nikos Kazantzis, Group Head of Systems Integration for Hayat Communications. "It offered numerous out-of-the-box advantages, of which offline-capability on mobile devices was the most significant --- most other platforms didn't have that capability built-in."

The Alpha platform is the only unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct “no-code” and “low-code” components. Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Alpha TransForm), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
