It seemed like the church of PLM at the swell and quirky Sanderson hotel on November 20th as I evangelised about mobile PLM and interviewed Flis Leverton on Ted Baker’s recent PLM journey! So inspiring to talk to brands Jimmy Choo, LK Bennet, Tesco and Superdry about their PLM endeavours We are truly changing the…

While in a taxi heading to a friend’s birthday dinner, I got a notification from the bank that I had forgotten to pay a credit card. Oops! Using my mobile banking app I quickly paid that AND my other bills due in the not too distant future. Paper bills and checks? Who needs em when…

Good UI, Music

Shazamed a tune that’s a blast from the past that I couldn’t remember the name. Now let’s hope when I click through to “buy on iTunes” iTunes actually serves it up! Sometimes it does not and I have to search for it on iTunes instead. Vaguely annoying.

I am really loving passbook. I’ve stored my Fashion Digital UK conference ticket (which by the way is a QR code! Love!), my Air BnB reservation, and my upcoming airline tickets. Now why hasn’t the London Zoo offered up the same? I couldn’t navigate their site on my mobile to buy my advanced ZooLate tickets (that…

The link allowed me to order via the app.The experience would have been perfect if they had offered one click payment, but the transaction was seamless and now that I’ve purchased once, repeats will be one…
