One of the main motives for Office Depot wanting to develop a mobile application (besides the fact that mobile applications have been gaining popularity and demand in all industries throughout the past year) is because a recent study conducted by ABI Research predicted that by 2015, shoppers worldwide are expected to spend about $119 billion on goods and services purchased through their Mobile Smartphone devices and through mobile applications. The trend of increasing mobile shopping has been growing in the United States as mobile online shopping rose from $396 million in 2008 to $1.2 billion in 2009 and that trend is only expected to go upwards from here on.

An additional feature which Office Depot’s mobile application will have is the ability for shoppers to create a mobile shopping cart that can follow them across multiple Smartphone devices. For example, if a customer were to go online through their computer but did not have time to complete their order, they can log onto their Office Depot mobile application and finish their order from there.

Office Depot plans to expand their mobile application throughout more Smartphone platforms in the future and already has plans to roll the mobile app out to the Blackberry and Microsoft operating systems, as well as tablet devices in the near future. Office Depot is clearly heading in the right direction with regards to reaching out to their customers through mobile applications and many mobile application developers and mobile app “experts” believe that this will not only generate higher sales opportunity for the company but also give customers much easier access to Office Depot’s offerings.
