  • St. Louis, MO-IL (1888PressRelease) January 27, 2012 - SteadyRain, an award-winning digital agency located in St. Louis, Missouri, announces partnership with FTL Finance for the development of a custom iPad application (app), which will serve as the mobile complement to the current web-based application.

    The mobile solution provides FTL Finance contractors' the ability to document time-sensitive information in the field and upload the necessary credit data directly to the web-based application, eliminating the need for additional time and paperwork.

    "The mobile solutions SteadyRain has developed for FTL finance will allow contractors to collect potential customer information on site, right there with the lead," said Todd Grzybinski of FTL Finance. "This enables faster turn-around on the credit approval process. Contractors can potentially provide credit approval while waiting with the customer."

    A series of customized applications will be included in the main iPad app, which includes Customer Application, Business Application, and Contractor Application as well as financial calculators. Application usage will be dependent on the type of work the contractor is enlisted to perform.

    Through the development of customizable applications within the iPad app, FTL Finance and its contractors have greater control over the organization of information and the ability to quickly locate data on the web-based application, once the necessary details are uploaded from the iPad.

    "FTL came to us with a challenge. Their contractors needed faster approval on credit applications in order to close deals. Working with FTL, we devised a plan that would allow mobile devices to capture data on-site, said Joe Marcallini, Vice President of Internet Strategy, SteadyRain. "SteadyRain chose to develop a native application for the iPad. Tablets, such as the iPad, have proven to be a successful source for B2B interactions."

    SteadyRain worked previously with FTL Finance on web application development projects and is excited to partner again within the ever-evolving field of mobile technology.
