Revolution Awards recognise 2ergo’s Rightmove App for the ‘Best Use of Mobile’
09 April 2010, Manchester – 2ergo, the international providers of mobile enabling technologies, has won The Revolution Award for ‘Best Use of Mobile’ for its Rightmove iPhone app. The award was announced last night, at a prestigious ceremony in London.
The Rightmove iPhone app, developed by 2ergo and launched in July 2009, revolutionised the house-hunting process by allowing mobile users to search for properties by postcode or GPS and provides property information as well as immediate access to the agent through a ‘Call Me’ button. The app reached #1 in the iTunes App Store within the first week of release and has since gone from strength to strength with Apple featuring it in its ‘Best of 2009’ chart. With 400,000 downloads to date and its continued spot within the top five ‘free lifestyle apps’, the app is a great example of a creative solution delivering results for both consumer and brand.
John Stevens, Joint Managing Director of 2ergo, said: “We are honoured to win this award for the Rightmove app as it gives us recognition for a project that we are justifiably very proud of. The Rightmove app demonstrates the unique power of mobile as a sales and marketing channel because it can target a user’s exact location and provide them with the property information they need on-the-move. The ability to access information anywhere, anytime is an invaluable extension to the service Rightmove.co.uk already provides its users, all delivered through a simple and intuitive app.”
2ergo enables companies to take advantage of integrated mobile communications to increase sales, enhance customer experiences, mobilise business processes and reduce costs. As well as iPhone, Blackberry and Android apps development 2ergo provides an innovative suite of interactive messaging, mobile CRM, mobile websites with CMS, mobile tickets and coupons and mobile security and advanced messaging software solutions.
Brands such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Proctor & Gamble (P&G), The Guardian Media Group, Arsenal Football Club and Fox Business have adopted 2ergo’s product set and are benefiting from more targeted and personalised communications with their customers via the mobile channel.
