eNabler Corp. has won the grand prize in the enterprise portion of AT&T's Fast-Pitch best mobile application competition. The prize of $15,000 was awarded to eNabler for its eMobilePOS, a mobile retail solution that performs bar code scanning, credit card payment processing, signature capture and receipt printing. The solution also uses the wireless network to remotely update financial records in a company's accounting system.
The competition was held at the annual CTIA wireless show in Las Vegas, with more than 100 developers participating in it.
“eMobilePOS is a well-designed application that can help a wide range of businesses, from a roadside vendor to a large wholesaler, be more productive and better serve customers,” commented Mike Woodward, vice president of business data service at AT&T's wireless unit, in a statement. “We had a tremendous number of great enterprise applications, and we congratulate all the winners and participants in this year's Fast-Pitch.”
The runner-up, JavaDive Technologies, received $5,000. JavaDive's MedsTimer application offers a solution to two issues with outpatient drug trials by using a wireless device to remind patients of the dose schedule and maintain the patient's diary of self-reporting. MedsTimer can be customized for a specific drug trial protocol and reporting structure.
