At InfoComm 2014, Flex unveiled the company's new native iOS application for iPad and iPhone. This application allows for reviewing schedules and pull-sheets easily from the user's phone, and the camera on the device can be used for scanning in and out inventory in place of a scanner (or, the device can be paired with a bluetooth scanner if desired). This directly supports the needs of Flex's unique rental and production industry, and the company says it is looking forward to bringing the iOS application to market for their Flex users later this fall.
