Raleigh, NC, May 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- VMZINC® (http://www.vmzinc-us.com/), a leading specialist in innovative zinc products manufactured and sold by the Building Products Unit of Umicore, has announced that the company has launched a new VMZINC app designed for the Android network. The app, which can be downloaded to any Android device, is extremely user-friendly and allows users to effortlessly browse the VMZINC product range, access and view panel specifications, as well as view technical information. Additionally, a unique product selector feature allows users to select specific characteristics that they are looking for in a zinc panel, including characteristics such as distinct size, color or texture. This product selector feature filters the attributes and shows panel types that meet the defined criteria based on the user’s needs and specifications.
An interactive geo-location tool allows app users to search and view VMZINC projects that are located within close proximity, and provides them with a physical address and a guide to the project. Additional features of the Android app include the ability to browse multiple project photos, an option for viewing documents in both PDF and Word format for all product specifications, 2D details in PDF and DWG format, and sales representative contact information by state.
