PointAbout has created a thin-client springboard native phone application that we can effortlessly private label with your brand across multiple phone platforms.

Imagine having your brand available as a downloadable application on multiple types of phones within a matter of days. Since PointAbout has done the heavy lifting of creating a native application for each phone type, all you have to do is focus on creating a mobile website, which will sit inside our thin-client application.

That mobile website will be able to do some very special things. When our thin-client native application launches your website or web application, we provide it with location and user profile data, so you will know exactly where in the world the user is, and also exactly who the user is.

Suddenly, an entire new world is open to you. Now you can customize how your web application interacts with each user based on their location and their profile information. You could, for example, provide special promotions to users near your physical store to entice them to come in. Or provide them location-relevant data from your online service. Only your imagination will limit this new channel of communication.

PointAbout has, for example, enabled a real estate company to display homes for sale in the vicinity of the user's physical location, and in another example, made the WMATA Metro site location aware, so the user can see where the nearest Metro station is and when the next train is leaving.

As a PointAbout white labeled application, you will also have access to the entire PointAbout Application Gallery - a gallery of web applications we've made location aware, allowing you to include a filtered list of related and complimentary applications along with yours to increase the stickiness and longevity of your application.

PointAbout makes your mobile website location aware. We abstract the user's location via any means available, including GPS and Cellular ID triangulation across multiple carriers and handset platforms, so all you have to worry about is improving your existing web infrastructure to handle this location data. We can even help with that, through our Certified Developer Program of available developers to assist in implementing your vision with location data.

Additionally, you can use our API's and widgets to take advantage of user location and profile data. Want to reach out to all the male PointAbout users between 18 and 35 who are in downtown Washington, DC right at this moment, and offer them your product or service? Want to ask all the female PointAbout users between 35 and 60 who are in San Francisco right now and give them a special promotion? No problem, this and much more is possible with PointAbout, and the privacy process is completely managed by the user, so they only share the data they want to share.

Contact us to make your website or web application location aware, and start taking advantage of the possibilities to completely revolutionize your business.
