Capitalizing on the success of the Prē flight tracking application, FlightView wanted to
expand their mobile presence into other platforms, specifically BlackBerry. RIM has a strong
reputation with the business community, people who often need to get on planes so it was a
natural segue. FlightView needed to migrate the wonderful user experience they had already designed
for the Prē to the BlackBerry family of devices.
FlightView chose Agile Commerce for the task. Having completed numerous projects
successfully with Agile Commerce and just completed the Prē application, FlightView
recognized that Agile Commerce understood their business very well.Y
Initially targeting only a few devices, the application ended up supporting 19 BlackBerry
models. In addition, Agile Commerce was able to keep the code in one codebase, greatly
reducing maintenance time and costs.
FlightView has solidified their footprint in the mobile space and created another
revenue channel. The application enjoys solid reviews and currently rates 4 of 5
stars in the BlackBerry App World. All of this continues to raise the profile and
awareness of FlightView as the premier vender for real-time flight information.
