Simplify Metals Industry Software Procurement with PSI Industrial App Store
12 Dec 2023 - Industry 4.0, Technology, Logistics
Before now, "App Store" might have conjured images of smartphone users eagerly browsing through a digital marketplace for the latest games or productivity tools. Today, App Store has evolved beyond the consumer market and has gained popularity in the vast expanse of corporate territories, including the metals industry. With this, it becomes possible to purchase software solutions ranging from metal production planning to production execution.
According to a recent survey conducted by Statista, there were 255 billion mobile app downloads in 2022. This figure is up by 80 percent from 140.7 billion app downloads in 2016, which shows a paradigm shift in how consumers access and utilize software solutions.
While the consumer market was the breeding ground for App Stores, their significance has now extended to the corporate realm. Large enterprises, traditionally slow to adopt consumer-centric technologies, are now leveraging App Stores to streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and drive innovation within their organizations.
The game-changing convenience of a centralized software marketplace has significantly impacted the metals industry that is undergoing digital transformation, and PSI Metals plays a crucial role in this paradigm shift with the App Store.
