This included construction, field services, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, government, transportation, and logistics.<\/p>\n<p>In the construction portion of the survey, 36 percent of firms said more than five mobile business apps were used in 2014, and 69 percent of participants see value in integrating them with mobile devices and tools\u2014a six percent increase from the previous year. In 2013, cloud storage use sat at 58 percent, but has since grown to 62 percent. The most popular mobile app features were signature capture at 64 percent, and image capture at 60 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstruction firms are not only using multiple mobile business apps, but also building and deploying them to their mobile workforces fast than ever before,\u201d said James Quigley, Canvas CEO. \u201cThis is an indication businesses of all sizes are shifting from expensive, resource-intensive custom app builds to cloud-based mobile business app solutions. The survey results also reaffirm when construction firms are able to easily share and learn from data collected via smartphones and tablets across the mobile workforce, the cost savings and productivity benefits can be significant.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud software and mobile app company, Canvas, released the results of its business app survey, focusing on industries with heavy paper-use, which included construction.
