YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – I still don’t feel that the spring season has arrived in our area. It was unusually warm a week ago. I think the highest temperature was 20 °C. It was only 12 °C yesterday.

Anyway, It’s been only six days since I announced the last iOS app but I have a new one to introduce to you today. This new app is called. Robo Desk 2.

Robo Desk 2 is a virtual front desk assistant that is designed to answer visitors at your reception desk so that you can all concentrate on your own office assignment. If you like what Robo Desk 2 does, you can probably replace your human receptionists with an iOS device (preferably, iPad) running Robo Desk 2 in the future.

Robo Desk 2 lets you create a list of employees that your visitors to have an appointment with. It’s up to you as an office administrator to decide whether a visitor must have an appointment and select one to see. When a visitor taps the submit button, Robo Desk 2 will send a reception update to anyone responsible for the front desk. You can enlist as many front desk handlers as you need. Just send each of them an invitation. Once they accept your invitation, the handshake between the front desk handler and the administrator is complete.

So every time a visitor taps the submit button, the same reception update will reach all front desk handlers. And they will receive a notification alert. Shown in their screen is a list of visitation logs. They can select one and tap the magnifier button to see the details of the selected log.   Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – What an exhausting day… It’s another day of double releases. Earlier, I introduced a desktop application to you. Now, let me announce its iOS counterpart, which is called Travel Plans Mobile.

Travel Plans Mobile is a free iOS app for iPhone and iPad users. Using this app, you can directly receive your travel plan from travel agency through the iCloud server. This app is not developed for the sake of individual travelers who want to make their own itineraries. Therefore, you should talk to your travel agency and have your travel plan prepared so that you can receive it with this app.   Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – This is another day of double releases. Earlier, I introduced a macOS application called Supply Chain Central. The other half is Supply Chain Mobile. It’s an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users.

In the days of smart phone use, if you have a supply chain business, your retailers probably want a quick shipment update delivered to their phones and tablets and don’t want to let them down, do you?. Or your days may be numbered. Supply Chain Mobile works closely with its macOS counterpart called Supply Chain Central so that retailers and delivery truck drivers will get an instant shipment update sent to their iOS devices. So a supply chain company manager uses Supply Chain Central to create a shipment order and then pushes a shipment update with its location and an expected arrival date. They can enlist retailers and delivery truck drivers so that the same shipment update will be delivered to them at the same time. A retailer can tap the notification alert to see the details of the shipment update and may return an update to the supplier with a thanks note. The delivery truck driver may choose to return a shipment update to the supplier with the latest arrival date and time and the current shipment location.   Continue reading →
