Company Summary

UpChannel is B2B SaaS platform that connects smartphone OEMs with their customers; the smartphone owner. Today our clients (OEMs) rely on websites to create a connection but the ubiquity of smartphones has created an urgency for a better way. For each client, we create a custom app that is pre-loaded onto the device at the factory level. We also provide our customer with a dashboard to manage the app via a full suite of CRM tools.
