CANVASFLIP : MAKING APPS SIMPLE
9 years ago Prashant DasCustomers wanted to shop so companies created an app for it; they also wanted entertainment, travel planning, good food, and BOOM! There is an app for everything we need at our fingertips. With the rise of Internet of things, companies want to remain connected to their consumers 24*7 to understand their preferences, likes and dislikes for surviving in competitive market.
Then again there is the problem of information overload and sometimes users find it complicated or don’t know how to benefit from these apps. When that happens, you lose your customers’ interest because it’s tedious to browse through a website or youtube for instructions. On an average, any company has about 8 secs to influence customers through its app.
So, what if you not just provide an app but also walk your customers through it, step-by-step. Wouldn’t that enhance the experience? Canvasflip, a brainchild of two young but proven entrepreneurs, Vipul Mishra & Manish Jha is providing a platform for solving this issue. “By design, mobile apps are supposed to be more intuitive & should not need a walk through. This is most frequent we get. Canvasflip walk through are not like tutorials but it’s supposed to offer an easier on-boarding to the application user†says Mr.Vipul Mishra. It is a DIY SAAS platform for creating a walk-in through HTML5 to be integrated inside the app or on the website.
How does it work:
It is a simple DIY platform & comprises of 4 very intuitive steps:
➢ Upload screenshot of mobile apps
