Torsion Mobile Enhances Mojaba Mobile Payment Options by Adding Dwolla

Two Des Moines-based technology companies enhance the mobile buying experience through integration.

Des Moines, IA— February 20, 2013 — Torsion Mobile, creator of Mojaba^® today announced integration with the Dwolla payment network. The resulting integration allows Mojaba customers to offer Dwolla’s revolutionary “free or 25 cent flat-fee” pricing model, all within a convenient and easy-to-use mobile optimized environment that smartphone users will appreciate. Both companies are headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, and have been part of the city’s rise to notoriety as a home for technology startups.

“Consumers are using their smartphones as the first screen to make buying decisions and then making the purchase,” said Christian Gurney, co-founder and president of Torsion Mobile. “With over 54% of American mobile phone subscribers owning smartphones, it’s important for us to offer an innovative consumer-focused payment network. That payment network is Dwolla. When we launched Mojaba a year ago, I told Ben (Milne) that it was my hope we would support Dwolla one day. That day has come.”

“Breaking down the obstacles to purchase is key for mobile users and e-commerce customers in general,” said Ben Milne, founder and CEO of Dwolla. “ Our goal has been to offer a money exchange platform that works for both the customer and the business. Business must be going mobile to stay competitive and Torsion Mobile’s Mojaba makes that easy and affordable, keeping in step with the Dwolla philosophy.”

Gurney said Dwolla customers will be eligible for a 50% discount on Mojaba in order to facilitate their adoption of a mobilized website for use with consumers. More information on the Dwolla integration and the limited-time special offer can be found at www.mojaba.com/dwolla .

Customers can then use their smartphones to donate to or buy virtually anything they can through Dwolla – all with a simple and secure experience made especially for mobile users.

Torsion Mobile’s Software as Service Offering, Mojaba^®, Lets Mobile Web Clients Use SinglePlatform to Win Customers and Build Strong, Lasting Relationships

Des Moines, IA— January 24, 2013 — Torsion Mobile, creator of Mojaba, today announced an integration with SinglePlatform from Constant Contact^®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT).

“Consumers are using their mobile devices as the go-to place for information about buying decisions,” said Christian Gurney, co-founder and president of Torsion Mobile, based in Des Moines. “With over 50% of American mobile subscribers owning smartphones, it’s important to make quality information about a business available through SinglePlatform.

Once a user connects their SinglePlatform and Mojaba accounts, they can use all the information they have in SinglePlatform to develop a robust mobile website without the need to program or engage a web developer. SinglePlatform gives small businesses a single place to update their critical business information and delivers that information across its publishing partner network, as well as the business’s social media profiles, website, and mobile site.

Customer Feedback Results in New Location-Based Analytics Product by Torsion Mobile

← Back to Directory

Product reports hyper-local consumer behavior for any mobile website

January 7, 2013 – (Des Moines, IA) Torsion Mobile, a Des Moines-based tech startup, announced the release of a new product in the Mojaba® software as service line. Less than a year after the launch of Mojaba, the company is adding Mojaba® Analytics.

“This product springs directly from customer feedback,” says Christian Gurney, Torsion Mobile president and CEO. “Those who had experienced the analytics portions of Mojaba were thrilled by the information they could get about mobile customers and their behaviors on the website. The ability to link a consumer’s street-level coordinates with, for example, their calling a retail service location, was a revelation. Our customers wanted to bring the simplicity and power of the analytics to all of their websites, mobile or otherwise – regardless of which technology created the mobile site.”

Gurney says that resulted in Mojaba Analytics, which provides actionable analytics for a mobile world. Whether a website is created using responsive design, WordPress, other popular web technologies or is custom-built, the Mojaba Analytics package will provide valuable data for website owners. With a deeper local focus than other products, Mojaba Analytics will provide valuable insights into website user behaviors related to street-level location. The consumer has complete control about what they share since the location features of Mojaba Analytics is 100% permission-based. Unlike other analytics products, Mojaba Analytics data is owned by the customer and is not shared in aggregate.

“Using data is marketing’s new normal,” says Keith Snow, founder and president of B2E Director Marketing specializing in database marketing for international and national clients. “But you have to collect data from all sources to make your best business decisions. Mojaba Analytics offers new data about how prospects and customers behave when and where they are interacting with a brand’s website – mobile or not. The mobile data will become even more valuable as more and more people use their smartphones as their only means of website engagement with organizations – large and small.”

Mojaba Analytics is currently in an invitation-only beta test. To be considered as a beta tester, participants can sign up by going to http://torsionmobile.com/mojaba-analytics-beta/.

Torsion Mobile Named a Mobile Startup to Watch

bbenschoter@TorsionMobile.com

DES MOINES, IA – November 9, 2012 — Torsion Mobile has been named to the inaugural Mobile Startups to Watch – the Final 40 authored by Jeff Vance, contributor to Forbes.com, Network World, CIO, Datamation, Wi-Fi Planet, Cloudbook and many others. Des Moines-based Torsion Mobile is the only Iowa startup on the list.

“Mobile is hot and my goal was to showcase companies that are disrupting the mobile space,” Vance said. “Having covered mobile startups for more than a dozen years, I’ve never seen the sector this hot. Mobile is the next big thing, and mobile startups are challenging our preconceptions about what it will take to succeed in this space.”

Torsion Mobile was chosen from more than 150 nominations. Vance’s Final 40 will serve as the foundation for two stories he is writing for high-profile technology publications. For Network World, he is writing a story called “10 mobile startups to watch.” The “startups to watch” series is a standby at Network World, and these stories are consistently some of the publication’s most popular.

For CIO, Vance is writing a story titled “7 startups ready to shake up the mobile status quo.”

“CIOs are desperate to catch up with what is happening in the mobile sector,” Vance said. “Keeping an eye on what startups are doing is a good way to keep ahead of the curve.”

“Native apps get a lot of ink but we think the future is not locked up in them,” said Christian Gurney, Torsion Mobile co-founder and president. “We have focused on putting mobile website creation in the hands of those who can drive content, rather than programming. That belief is what gave birth to Torsion Mobile as a company and
Mojaba<sup®, our first product. When everyone is talking about apps, we are talking about an approach that is much more sustainable and consumer-friendly.”

Brooke Benschoter Expands Company’s Mobile Products Marketing

DES MOINES, IA – September 6, 2012 — Torsion Mobile announced today the addition of Brooke Benschoter to the company’s management team. Benschoter will serve as the company’s Chief Marketing Officer effective immediately.

“Brooke’s knowledge of integrated marketing inside both agencies and their clients will enhance Torsion Mobile’s ability to create tools to serve the growing demand for mobile solutions,” said Christian Gurney, CEO and co-founder of the Des Moines-based company. “As we continue to help agencies deliver programs for the mobile market, a veteran like Brooke will introduce us to new customers and markets.”

“Agencies of all kinds – from traditional advertising to digital – face the challenge represented by the consumer shift from consuming content on computers to primarily mobile devices,” says Benschoter. “Developing effective customer experiences for the more than 314 million US mobile users is challenging for creative professionals. Torsion Mobile has delivered accessible solutions that benefit both the agency and the customers they serve while keeping profitability and usability in balance.”

Benschoter’s initial focus will be on Torsion Mobile’s offering of Mojaba (pronounced Mo-jah-ba) that enables creative agencies, web designers, and other professionals to design and publish mobile-optimized websites for their clients. Converting a desktop website to a mobile optimized site has historically been a very labor intensive, expensive task.

“Any organization whose target audiences include smartphone users has to think differently about the web content and the sites they are sending those audiences,” says Benschoter. “Communication from advertising to public relations is a different experience on a smartphone and companies are underestimating the value of a positive first impression from a usability standpoint.

Brooke Benschoter has more than 25 years of experience in corporate communications and integrated marketing including branding, advertising and public relations with organizations such as Pioneer Hi-Bred, Meredith Corporation, ITAGroup, National Pork Board and Drake University. Her career started in broadcast journalism as a reporter, producer, and anchor and grew to include agency management and consulting experience at what is now Meyocks Group and Strategic America. Benschoter calls herself a branding geek, having worked with brands that include Kraft, Home Depot, Compaq Computer, Better Homes and Gardens, Tone’s, Frito Lay, USS Iowa, and Mary Engelbreit. Most recently, Brooke was Senior Consultant for Strategic America, a premier channel and field marketing agency located in West Des Moines.

Benschoter has received numerous national and regional awards for her work and has earned the Accredited in Public Relations (APR) designation from the Public Relations Society of America. Benschoter received her Masters Degree in Organizational Performance and Leadership from Drake University and her B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication from Creighton University in Omaha.
