We are really pleased to announce that the Digital Log Book is now accessible on mobile devices! Following research we carried out in December 2014, 67% of our customers were accessing their DLB via a mobile device and this is expected to increase. A news report in April pointed out that although iPad sales still lead the tablet market this is the 5th quarter in a row where tablet sales have gone down.
Since December our team has been working hard on creating a mobile responsive version which means that the Digital Log Book’s appearance will adapt automatically to the device you or your customers are using. As year on year growth in the use of smart phones increases , another report highlighted that the sales of smart phones with a 5.5in screen or bigger hit 9% in Q4 last year, up from 3% a year ago.
So the evidence is clear, suppliers of digital services to people must consider being mobile responsive in the first instance, tablets second and then PCs. The functionality remains exactly the same for now, simply to make it easy for your customers to interact with the new version.
Our focus is on simplicity and engagement, making it easy for people to use.
