Mobile (WRE) Application Packaging
Transform existing web applications into installable, mobile-friendly applications using WRE technology, enabling secure deployment across desktop, mobile, kiosk and offline environments.
Introduction
PiRho Services provides Mobile (WRE) Application Packaging services that enable organisations to transform web-based applications into managed application packages without extensive redevelopment.
WRE delivers the advantages of web technologies while providing deployment, offline capability, device integration and managed application experiences normally associated with traditional native applications.
This approach allows organisations to modernise business systems, extend application reach and improve mobility while protecting existing software investments.
Business Challenges
- Existing web applications provide a poor mobile experience.
- Legacy business systems are difficult to deploy to remote workers.
- Users require access in locations with limited or no connectivity.
- Mobile application development costs are difficult to justify.
- Kiosk and shared-device deployments are difficult to manage.
- Organisations want native application behaviour without rebuilding existing systems.
Benefits
- Faster application modernisation
- Reduced redevelopment costs
- Consistent multi-device experiences
- Offline application capability
- Simplified deployment

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WRE Application Packaging?
WRE allows existing web applications to be packaged and deployed as managed applications while retaining the flexibility of web technologies.
Do applications need to be rewritten?
In many cases existing web applications can be packaged with minimal modification, reducing redevelopment costs and project timelines.
Can packaged applications work offline?
Yes. Suitable applications can be configured to support offline operation with synchronisation when connectivity becomes available.
Can applications access device features?
Depending on requirements, packaged applications can be configured to interact with supported device capabilities and local resources.
Is WRE suitable for kiosk deployments?
Yes. WRE is particularly well suited to managed kiosk environments where security, simplicity and reliability are important requirements.
