The Idea
The world has gone mobile - everyone has a smart phone with which they constantly communicate, shop, make appointments and find services. Our smartphones are with us all day and almost everything is done through it.
The Need
Today’s businesses need online visibility to stay relevant in their targeted markets. In business, staying relevant is the name of the game and being present for your customers is critical.
However, today most service providers and SMBs still rely solely on websites, as opposed to mobile applications, to promote and advertise their business. Unlike building an attractive website, which today can be done easily through DIY web creation sites, building a mobile app remains a complex matter that requires prior knowledge, and the existing app building sites do not provide an adequate solution.
The Solution
geekApps one stop shop for DIY platforms enables all types of SMBs and service providers to simply create their own high quality business apps, raise their online exposure and increase their business activity.
geekApps is undercutting the superiority of larger companies in today's online and mobile marketplaces and ensuring the ongoing relevancy of SMBs and SPs in today's "mobile first" economies.
geekApps is transitioning and positioning SMBs into the mobile sphere, giving them critical omni-channel and digital presence.
The Technology
The premise behind geekApps products is the establishment of a fixed infrastructure with sophisticated algorithms that enable easy creation of a dedicated native application for businesses in a few simple steps of data entry; the selection of designs, fonts and other visual features. Once completed the application is automatically and quickly uploaded to iOS and Android app stores - method is described below.

Our products and interfaces are visually pleasing, have simple to follow instructions for the app build with “help me” film clips to also assist. Users can choose to add in-app shops and/or smart diary management modules.
The company's key breakthrough technology is the API developed between the company's Admin Panel and the iOS and Android APIs.
