Imagine HQ iOS app
Available as a free download from the Apple App Store, Imagine HQ iOS app lets users walk away from their computers to perform other tasks while media is offloaded with ShotPut Pro. As long as both the computer and the user’s iPhone or iPad are connected to the internet and logged in under the same username, the new Imagine HQ app can provide remote access and real-time status reports.
The Imagine HQ iOS app offers ShotPut Pro users benefits including:
- Real-time job status and push notifications for completed jobs
- Listings of both completed and active jobs for quick reference
- The ability to link multiple workstations together for a team experience and shared visibility across all offloads
The app is available with any ShotPut Pro license type whether perpetual, rental, or company-owned (rather than user-owned).
“Our new iOS app transforms ShotPut Pro users’ day-to-day work experience, bringing them much greater mobility while giving them peace of mind with real-time data and notifications. Going forward, we anticipate that the integration of these two solutions with our forthcoming cloud solution will have the potential to change workflows forever.”
Michelle Maddox, marketing director at Imagine Product
