What is the mobile services provider's perfect tool?

edsaco · 13th Sep 2012, 10:54 AM

As a mobile services provider, either if you provide mobile website design, sms marketing, mobile app development or any other mobile related services:

what repetative tasks do you do on a day to day basis?
what frustrates you the most about providing the services?
what services do you pay for on monthly basis?
What all in one tool would save you time and money in your business?

I was thinking more like a tool where you can do most of the day to day work required like managing clients, building mobile sites or managing text messages. What features would a tool like this would be the most important to have included?

Thanks,
Edgar

Nice try at some product research.

A good tool would be a web-based device emulator that would let you see, life-size, how a website rendered in various browsers across various devices (tablets, smartphones, laptops).

If the device list was big enough, I'd use it.

Thanks Will!!

iaeo, an emulator would be nice to have and be able to add new browsers as they come out.

Yeah. Just have the big four as far as browsers go: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. IE really isn't necessary, but it'd be nice to have (for Windows phones... LOL).

A big device list is gonna be the main thing, with relevant screen dimensions (and swipe functionality would be cool).
