In the competitive world of app development, creating sophisticated apps and enterprise solutions that include advanced features such as geolocation, NFC, MQTT, QR code scanning, and rich device integration for all platforms is crucial.
Support for advanced functionality in a single development environment reduces the need for third-party integrations and simplifies the development process.
Altova MobileTogether provides built in UI components, actions, and functions that help developers build apps with these cutting-edge capabilities quickly, using a unique low-code development approach.
In addition to its long list of supported features, the develop once and deploy everywhere aspect of MobileTogether ensures that users have access to a familiar app experience on their device of choice. Whether your target users are on iOS, Android, Windows, the web, or all four, your app will run seamlessly across all platforms, broadening your app's reach without extra development overhead.

Whether you're working on a small project or a large enterprise solution, MobileTogether gives you the tools you need to define sophisticated app functionality. This includes:
Data visualization is a cornerstone of data-driven apps, and MobileTogether makes it easy to define rich charts, graphs, and interactive dashboards for visualizing real-time information. Developers can easily incorporate a variety of chart types, including bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and more, to present data in a visually engaging and informative manner. These features are especially valuable for business intelligence apps, financial reporting tools, and any application that relies on clear data presentation.
For businesses needing to collect and process data in the field, MobileTogether offers built-in support for enterprise mobile forms. Developers can create complex forms that are fully integrated with backend systems, allowing for real-time data collection, validation, and submission. These forms can include features like conditional logic, dynamic fields, and offline capabilities, making them ideal for industries such as healthcare, logistics, and field services.
In today’s global market, creating apps that support multiple languages is vital. MobileTogether includes support to seamlessly localize mobile apps in multiple languages including English, German, French, and others. This means you can build one version of a mobile app or enterprise solution that works across many languages as well as across multiple platforms.
Developers can include translations in a single MobileTogether app design for all text phrases required, and when any end-user runs the app, whether on an Android phone, an iPhone, Windows desktop, or any other supported platform, the language for the app is selected to match the language for the device operating system.
MobileTogether makes it easy to incorporate signature capture functionality into your apps. This feature allows users to sign documents, forms, or agreements directly within the app, providing a secure and convenient way to obtain digital signatures. Signature capture is essential for industries like finance, legal, and healthcare, as well as delivery or courier services, where signed documentation is often required.
MobileTogether makes it easy to integrate geolocation and maps into your apps, allowing you to create location-based services, track user movements, or provide real-time geographic data. Its visual design tools and pre-built components allow you to quickly add and configure maps and geolocation features without extensive coding.
With built-in support for NFC, MobileTogether enables developers to create apps that can read and write NFC messages, facilitating contactless payments, data sharing, and more. This feature is ideal for apps in retail, transportation, and event management. With specialized NFC Actions, functions, and events, you can drag and drop components and define NFC actions for your app.
MobileTogether supports the MQTT protocol for building apps for industrial automation, smart office, and smart home scenarios. Actions and events in MobileTogether allow apps to join an MQTT network as a publisher, as a subscriber, or as both. An app with subscriber functionality can subscribe to topics published by both MobileTogether publishers and non-MobileTogether publishers.
MobileTogether allows seamless integration with device-specific features such as cameras, microphones, GPS, and email clients. Developers can create apps that fully utilize these tools, enabling features like photo capture, audio recording, location tracking, and email communication directly within the app. This deep integration enhances the app's interactivity and offers users a native app experience on their preferred device.
MobileTogether supports two ways to scan barcodes and QR codes to meet needs of all types of apps: via external mobile scanners or via the device camera.
Support for Mobile Scanners
Many industries rely on handheld, mobile scanners for collecting information. Data captured by the scanner can be used to update inventory levels, order statuses, customer information, and other data in real time. However, the scanner alone is not enough: data collected must be parsed and processed before interacting with backend databases and systems, and that's where MobileTogether comes in.
Solutions built in MobileTogether can process data from popular external scanners including Zebra, Zebra Mobile Computers, and DataLogic Mobile Computers. Support for building apps that connect to barcode scanners allows developers to build apps for industries like retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing that rely on real-time data collection.
Support for Camera Scans
For organizations that want to implement barcode scanning with the device camera instead of an external scanning device, MobileTogether apps can scan and process a wide variety of barcode types, including QR codes, using the camera on a phone or tablet. MobileTogether apps can also draw barcodes and QR codes from supplied data.
