Though mobile apps offer an unprecedented opportunity for organizations to streamline their internal process dramatically, building native iOS and Android apps is often an expensive and risky process. Development usually takes longer than expected and costs tend to spiral out of control. Some of the enterprise mobility platforms from large ERP vendors are also associated with extremely high barriers to adoption rates in terms of cost and complexity. This is where JourneyApps makes a difference in the intricate retail mobility space.

Not so long ago, Standard Bank—the largest financial services group in Africa offered a money transfer solution—Instant Money, which had to comply with stringent legislation regarding training, processes and instruments. Since the service was facilitated via participating outlet stores, the training of staff at the store, was critical. In order to offer a compliant service through outlet stores, Standard Bank had to ensure and prove that sufficient and bi-annual training was completed for over 1,000 store employees who administer the Instant Money service. Joining forces with JourneyApps to address the compliance challenges, together, they developed an app that enables dedicated instructors to perform on-site training at a variety of outlet stores. “JourneyApps has assisted over 600 stores to perform Instant Money transfers—bolstering Standard Bank’s compliance levels. The firm has an agile and iterative approach, enabling apps to be continuously improved on, timelessly,” explains Deshan Govender, CFS Business owner, Instant Money.
