MacroSolve, functioning under the name of Illume Mobile, announced that Oklahoma State University will be adopting SaleSentral mobile app for tablets to spruce up its football recruiting efforts. Illume specializes in delivering mobile technologies, apps, and solutions that are suitable for business use.

It was revealed that the university will be using this new technology in classrooms, offices and also in athletics. The OSU Cowboy football recruiters will be leveraging the capabilities of the SaleSentral app to highlight the salient features of the University pertaining to sports.

The app will provide up-to-the minute videos, brochures, statistics and other information sought by prospective student-athletes.

In a release Chris Deal, web developer for coachgundy.com said, “Collegiate football recruiting is a very competitive process. The SaleSentral app keeps our recruiters updated with the latest news and information, while showing the prospective student-athletes what Oklahoma State University Cowboy football is all about.”

According to officials this new app has been designed in line with the specifications of the NCAA rules and guidelines laid down with respect to use of social media platforms in recruiting players.

SaleSentral offers all required information on the user’s mobile devices conveniently so that field personnel feel that they are armed with all the information with them wherever they go.

Besides, the app can be customized according to the specific needs of a brand. Further, the app content can be easily updated via a Web interface in order to maintain data as current as possible. This will enable sales personnel to make relevant and correct decisions.

Steve Signoff (News - Alert), CEO of Illume Mobile remarked, “Athletic recruiting is a great use of the SaleSentral app. ‘Sales’ can obviously take many forms, and recruiting for your organization, whether a corporation or university, is all about having the right information at your fingertips.”

Recently Illume Mobile announced that it has signed an agreement with The Crosby Group, a global manufacturer and marketer of accessories used in the lifting and material handling industry.

The Crosby Group has also picked Illume’s SaleSentral as the mobile app solution for its sales force. Headquartered in Tulsa, OK, USA, the Crosby Group has eight manufacturing facilities across the USA, Canada and Europe.
