SAGE has announced the release of a new version of SAGE Mobile. The app, available for iOS and Android devices, allows industry distributors easy access to all their critical research and business management operations while on the go. In addition, as the official show planner for The PPAI Expo, distributors have complimentary access to the app’s expanded set of trade-show planning features to plan and manage their experience at the show.

Some of the new features in the SAGE Mobile 8.0 release include the ability to perform advanced searches using 54 newly-added product search criteria, which now makes SAGE Mobile’s product research as robust as SAGE’s desktop services, SAGE Online and SAGE Web. The updated app can also search for decorators using the new decorator search area, allowing users to search for embroiderers, screen printers, engravers, and other special decorators, and add clients’ logos to their contact profile in the CRM module, allowing for quick and easy cross-functionality in the Virtual Design Studio, Order Management module and more. Users can easily access trade show registration barcodes in the app for expedited badge pick-up at the Expo and any industry show where SAGE Event Services is available; quickly access nearby exhibitors while walking the trade show floor at Expo through enhanced location technology; take advantage of suggested trade show walk lists based on search history, preferred suppliers and other preferences; and share walk lists with other users with editing privileges enabled or disabled.

“We’ve all become accustomed to having access to anything that we need right on our phones. That’s why we continue to invest in our mobile app. We want to make sure that our customers can do everything that they need to right from their phone, seamlessly integrating with their desktop experiences,” says SAGE President David Natinsky, MAS. “Whether you need to perform an advanced product search while on the go, or manage your journey at the PPAI Expo, SAGE Mobile will get it done for you.”

SAGE Mobile 8.0 is available now. Current SAGE Total Access subscribers can download SAGE Mobile for free from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Amazon App Store. For users who have automatic app updates turned on, the update will download automatically.

To receive full access to SAGE Mobile, tap the “Start a Free Trial” button on the homepage of SAGE Mobile.
