YouSendIt has announced the launch of YouSendIt Tracker for BlackBerry, a file-tracking application that enables BlackBerry users to track their documents when on the go, directly from their mobile phones. This feature now is available for both iPhone and BlackBerry users.
“Offering a BlackBerry application that enables our customers to track their files from anywhere was a natural extension to our mobile offering,” said YouSendIt vice president of product management, Arun Prakash. “As the mobile workforce expands and users increasingly rely on their mobile devices to conduct daily business activities, more will be turning to YouSendIt for mobile file tracking. Anticipating their needs, YouSendIt continues to strive to provide customers with innovations that will help improve the way they work,” he added.
Similar to the YouSendIt Tracker for iPhone application, BlackBerry users can track the delivery status of files sent through YouSendIt to see who downloaded a file and when it was downloaded. The YouSendIt Tracker for BlackBerry also allows users to access and forward any previously sent files, so they can track their documents from start to finish in a secure manner. This capability is especially valuable to business professionals who send confidential or time-sensitive files.
“As someone who works in the design field, I am constantly sending out large and time-sensitive digital files to many vendors and design agencies. Those files are usually too difficult to send via e-mail,” said Lenore M. Wetzel, package design manager at Giant Eagle, Inc. “To have the ability to track these files on my BlackBerry from wherever I am makes my job so much easier. It gives me peace of mind to know that my files have been delivered quickly and securely.”
The free YouSendIt Tracker for BlackBerry application is available on the YouSendIt website and will soon be available in the Business category of BlackBerry App World. The application requires users to be registered for at least a YouSendIt Lite account. Users that are already registered can begin using the app immediately.
