It’s the same thing with in-house apps, which are designed specifically with employees in mind to help them organize tasks better and ultimately, become more productive.
The workflow in a work environment is almost always fast paced, whether we’re talking about large corporations or small and medium enterprises.

This is why a very important aspect when designing in-house apps is to involve the staff and simply ask about where they feel that their work could improve with the help of a mobile application. The set of features should really depend on their input. And there is always the possibility to improve an old application with additional features in the future, using employee feedback.
In-house apps help save time, money and effort. About 48% of all companies are already using 1 to 10 mobile applications for their employees (according to Mobile Marketing Watch blog) and that says it all. And the percentage is growing by the hour.
