Vodafone New Zealand and BlinkMobile have teamed up to offer what they say is an exclusive telecommunications partnership enabling businesses to mobilise information across smartphones and tablets.

Using Blink Mobile’s mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP), which enables businesses to mobilise information across their organisation on a variety of internet capable devices, including smartphones and tablets, Vodafone says its business customers will benefit from the partnership through use of the “innovative and unique solution”.  

According to Vodafone Director of Sales, Grant Hopkins, “Vodafone customers on the Blink Mobility Platform will be able to abandon paper systems in favour of remotely submitting reports, accessing applications and completing job sheets while they’re out in the field.   It’s a future-proof and more simple way for our business customers to work wherever they are.

“This is a hugely exciting collaboration for Vodafone and BlinkMobile.  Organisations around the world are discovering the benefits of mobilising their workforce, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this innovation in New Zealand.”

BlinkMobile Director, Tony Harris, said the partnership with Vodafone New Zealand was the first the company had signed with a telecommunications provider anywhere in the world.  “BlinkMobile is excited with the visionary approach Vodafone New Zealand is taking in providing their business customers with a complete mobile solution beyond devices and data plans, and additionally how those employees access just those components of their business systems that add massive value to their mobile work day,” Harris concluded.'
