On-the-Go Profit Maximization from StarMobile
On-the-Go Profit Maximization for Multi-Family Housing (LRO®) In December 2014, StarMobile engaged with Atlanta-based The RainMaker Group to help transform the company’s existing desktop application used by multifamily housing reps, LRO®, into a mobile application for use on smart phones and tablets. The RainMaker Group’s LRO® desktop application enables multifamily housing operators to optimize rates and maximize revenue from apartment leases. The application is used to price more than one million units in North America and its end users are property managers that are often away from their desks and in need of accessing this critical information on the go. The RainMaker Group decided to undertake the task of extending this popular desktop application to mobile devices in order to meet the needs of their property manager end users. The RainMaker Group’s end users needed anywhere, anytime mobile access to the application’s core functions and data outputs, including pricing trends, competitor pricing and rent data. The RainMaker Group sought to complete their LRO® mobile application project within five months and reduce LRO® users’ common workflow down from 22 clicks/interaction on the PC to 15 on mobile. Initially, The RainMaker Group considered building a mobile solution in-house with internal or contract resources. However, when the company discovered StarMobile’s capabilities to enable a mobile version in five days rather than five months, at a tenth of the cost, the team commissioned StarMobile for the project.
On-the-Go Profit Maximization for Hotel Mangers (GuestREV®) In January 2015, StarMobile and The RainMaker Group worked together for a second time in order to extend The RainMaker Group’s flagship desktop hospitality application, GuestREV®, to mobile devices. The RainMaker Group was under pressure to generate a mobile version of their popular hospitality application due to their hotel manager users’ demand for an app. The desktop version of the GuestREV® software product integrates into any in-house hospitality booking system and delivers data on optimal pricing, profit and yield for hotel operators and managers. The RainMaker Group needed to deploy a mobile version of GuestREV® quickly and cost effectively. After having achieved success with their multifamily housing mobile app (LRO®) using StarMobile, the RainMaker Group team commissioned StarMobile a second time to extend the desktop version of this popular hospitality software application to mobile devices. The RainMaker Group sought to complete the GuestREV® mobile project in two weeks and reduce GuestREV® users’ common workflow down from 20 clicks/interactions on the PC down to 10 on mobile.
On-the-Go Profit Maximization for Multi-Family Housing (LRO®) Within five days, StarMobile delivered a mobile version of The RainMaker Group’s multifamily housing desktop application, LRO®, removing extra page navigations throughout the application and streamlining the overall workflow. StarMobile also extracted raw data and complex tables and delivered them in a mobile-friendly format. The project was delivered in five days rather than the anticipated five months, and at one-tenth of the anticipated cost. LRO® users’ most common workflow as reduced from 22 clicks/interactions on PC down to only 10 on mobile – exceeding the company’s initial objective and reducing workflow times for end users. The deployment was so successful that just weeks later, The RainMaker Group reached back out to StarMobile to work on a mobile version of the desktop version of their flagship hospitality product, GuestREV®.
On-the-Go Profit Maximization for Hotel Mangers (GuestREV®)Similar to what StarMobile enabled for The RainMaker Group’s multifamily housing application (LRO®), StarMobile was able to deliver the mobile app version of the GuestREV® software product in only five days, and for a fraction of the cost of developing the app in-house. The mobile solution launched ahead of The RainMaker Group’s anticipated schedule and at a tenth of the cost of developing in-house. The mobile version of GuestREV® enables hotel managers and operations users access to the software’s full suite of pricing functions and reporting in real-time on their smart phones. StarMobile was able to deliver mobilized version, with a native user experience, that displayed the raw data, in easy to consume graphs. GuestREV® users’ workflow has been reduced from 20 clicks/interactions to only 6 on mobile – exceeding the company’s initial objective and reducing workflow times for hospitality end users.

Prizm
Prizm is a mobile app that helps you collect your inspirations and achievements in one place, kind of like a journal and a trophy case combined. Your Prizm reflects who you are by bringing the posts you choose from apps like Instagram and Twitter together with posts you create inside of Prizm.

Youth organizations don’t have the time or resources to develop their own technology to be “the place” to communicate with their members, yet the vast majority of their members have smartphones and use apps. These organizations are also under increasing pressure to fundraise and demonstrate the effectiveness of their programming.
The primary objective of Prizm is to be the mobile-based place for an organization to communicate with members, learn about and engage with its members, measure the impact of its programs, and use the data to report back to its board and donors. The secondary objective is to expose members to opportunities around higher education, available scholarships and various career paths, particularly in STEM fields.

Epilepsy Advocate App
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting approximately 65 million people worldwide and over two million people in the U.S. The disorder’s chronic nature increases the ongoing need for patient empowerment and support; this led UCB to launch the Epilepsy Advocate initiative in 2004. That program now features an ecosystem of platforms, including the largest U.S. epilepsy community on Facebook, a YouTube channel featuring original interviews with advocates, a website full of educational materials, and a printed magazine with original journalistic content which gets distributed to physician’s offices.
UCB partnered with Mobiquity Inc. - a trusted mobile engagement provider - to create a mobile experience to deliver the great EpilepsyAdvocate journalistic content into the digital realm. The companies worked closely together to determine the most desired and needed features of patients living with epilepsy that don’t appear in other apps targeted at this audience. The joint effort resulted in the “EpilepsyAdvocate App,” a mobile resource that helps patients get inspired, set their goals, and find support on their journey of living with epilepsy. The app features:
• Inspiring personal stories from people making a difference in the epilepsy community
• Educational articles, with tips and ideas to help the patient handle his or her epilepsy journey
• Tools to help patients set goals, stick to them, and share their success
• A select list of websites where the patient can find information and support
• An interactive article finder to select the perfect story based on an individual’s current needs.
Epilepsy Advocate is free to all users. The application is available in the U.S. in both the Google Play and Apple App Stores.

National Center for Civil and Human Rights App & Augmented Reality Experience from Bark Bark
In addition to delivering a traditional app, we aspired to make a second-screen companion AR experience for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, a breathtaking 90,000-square-foot building in Atlanta dedicated to the achievements of both the civil rights movement in the United States and the broader worldwide human rights movement. The app is not only a traditional and well-designed hub for people to find out information, buy tickets, and navigate the museum, but most importantly, it’s a new way to dive deeper into the content inside the space, with our custom augmented reality viewer.
We specifically chose to start by enhancing the 35-foot lobby mural designed by artist Paula Scher, which has quickly become a symbol for The Center itself, by creating a custom-built tool allowing someone to hold their smartphone up to the artwork and explore information about the 28 individual civil and human rights posters that make up the collage. This not only encourages greater interaction with the piece, but deepens the content and context of the experience… and the intent of the artist.
We researched the technology closely with our partner Qualcomm, a leading designer of AR software, who donated their Vuforia platform license-free to create this unique interactive feature for the Center. Our little experiment turned into a huge success – Apple approved the CCHR app which can be downloaded HERE on the first submission round (a rarity with such complex AR). Now, anyone can take their visit to the next level with an immersive augmented reality experience that encourages museum-goers to be hands-on. And this is just the tip of the iceberg…the NCCHR has a wealth of opportunity to bring more of their exhibits to life with future installments in VR, spreading the message of equality to the 21st Century.
