The mobile channel embodies the low-code approach and rapid mobile app development by ensuring that you can configure and customize the content of the app directly in the model and without coding. Simply leverage your existing cases to effectively design vital user experience components, such as navigation or search, and efficiently tailor the styling of your app to match your company's guidelines. When you are ready to take your content to users, you can build your app in one click or use the Pega Mobile Preview app to examine the outcome.
Native app experience
Stay in the model and let Pega Platform do all the heavy lifting to enable you to focus on what work you want to get done on mobile devices. You never have to worry about operating system dependencies or complicated update procedures. Pega uses a cloud service to build responsive apps that leverage device capabilities, native transitions, and mobile features, such as push notifications or barcode scanning. The mobile client exemplifies a hybrid approach that guarantees security and flexibility to provide the outcome and experience that your users deserve.
Offline support
Pega Mobile supports the way mobile users work by ensuring that they can access their content at all times, regardless of network connection status.
