FlexApp Mobile & Collaboration

Approve, chat and share files from anywhere — on the phone app, WeChat or a browser.

FlexApp Mobile & Collaboration

In short

FlexApp Mobile & Collaboration is the mobile and team-chat part of FlexApp that lets people approve tasks, fill in forms, chat and share files from iPhone and Android apps, a browser or a WeChat Mini Program.

Who it is for

Managers, field staff and travelling executives who need to approve and keep work moving away from their desks.

The problem it solves

Approvals wait until someone is back at a computer, and work conversations are scattered across personal messaging apps where the company has no record.

What you get

01

Approve on the go

Check the details and approve from your phone — no need to wait until you are back in the office.

02

Work where your people already are

Phone apps plus a WeChat Mini Program for teams in Greater China.

03

Fewer email threads

Discuss work in team chat, with files attached straight from FlexApp Drive.

04

Alerts that arrive

Notifications reach iPhone and Android phones, including Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo.

AI

Where AI helps

The phone camera does the typing for expense claims.

  • Photograph a receipt and the amount, date, currency and category are read automatically

  • The details fill in the expense claim, ready to check and submit

How teams use it

General manager · manufacturing company

Approvals while visiting factories

Purchase approvals used to wait while the general manager was travelling between factories. Now a notification arrives on their phone, they check the details and attachments, and approve on the spot.

Sales team · consumer goods distributor in Greater China

Working through WeChat

Sales staff in mainland China spend their day in WeChat, so separate apps went unused. With the FlexApp WeChat Mini Program they handle tasks, forms and enquiries without leaving WeChat.

Project team · engineering consultancy

Work chat kept with the work

Project discussions used to happen in personal messaging groups, with files lost in long threads. The team now chats in FlexApp, attaches the latest file from Drive, and the conversation stays with the company.
