MANILA – Globe Telecom, through its IT-Enabled Services Group (IG), has partnered with mobile app Canvas to introduced an enhanced mobile business offering which converts paper-based processes to digital.
Launched on August 6, the cloud-based software service allows business users to collect, share, and integrate information using mobile devices with existing backend business systems.
As a result of this new partnership, enterprise and small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers of Globe can shift key business processes from paper forms to mobile apps with functionalities.
Every Canvas app is customizable and can incorporate functionality such as GPS, image capture, dispatch, barcode scanning, electronic signatures, push notifications and access to business data such as parts catalogs, price lists and patient records.
Canvas eliminates paperwork, captures more information and allows collected data to be shared instantly.
With Globe Telecom being the first and exclusive partner of Canvas in the Philippines, its business customers will be able to leverage on Canvas’s cloud-based service and mobile business app store, which currently has more than 14,000 business apps ranging from inspection forms and work orders to surveys and checklists.

A P500 monthly investment per account includes unlimited access to Canvas Application Store, unlimited creation of forms & unlimited submissions.
