Usablenet, a mobile and multichannel technology provider, today introduced the Usablenet API Service, offering retailers a new way to provide digital services to consumers.
Depending on a company’s current Agile Web Services technology, which also is provided by Usablenet, the API Service is designed to help retailers become more agile in their multichannel initiatives.
Through a services-based architecture, retailers that use Usablenet API Service can create native and/or web experiences based on the device and user context.
