Phunware Launches RAPID - A Mobile Application Solution for Small and Midsize Businesses

Phunware, Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN) (the “Company”), a fully-integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that provides products, solutions, data and services for brands worldwide, announced today its Rapid Application Programming Interface for Devices (RAPID) solution on mobile to provide small and midsize businesses (SMBs) access to its Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform and launch full-featured, native mobile applications.

RAPID provides SMBs with a pre-integrated software layer on mobile to access many of the features and capabilities of Phunware’s broader Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform. With RAPID, SMBs can deploy native mobile application portfolios on Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems in just a few weeks.

“A lot of small and midsize businesses in the United States are struggling right now as COVID-19 forces them to not only reduce their workforces, but also rethink how they engage customers and achieve digital transformation during a pandemic,” said Luan Dang, CTO and Co-Founder of Phunware. “Many of these business owners don’t think they can afford native mobile application portfolios, but RAPID allows them to rapidly design and deploy streamlined, feature-rich mobile application portfolios focused on real-time consumer engagement at manageable price points.”

Phunware’s RAPID mobile solution for SMBs includes:

• Application Programming Interface (API) access to Phunware’s Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform.
• Phunware’s Mobile Engagement Software Development Kit (SDK) to enable broadcast, geofence and bluetooth low energy (BLE) proximity push notifications, alerts and messages.

• Phunware’s Content Management Engine to enable the configuration of dynamic content and content structures with over-the-air content publishing and updates.
