Onomi CongressIQ: Introducing the new Field App

The new Onomi Field App brings a fast, intuitive app experience for sponsor representatives and booth staff to capture and qualify HCP interactions at congresses.

Built as part of the premium paid Universal lead capture module, the Field App is designed around the realities of working on a busy congress floor: conversations are short, connectivity can be unreliable, and every interaction counts.

From capturing a badge and resolving HCP identity to collecting consent and qualification data, everything happens in one streamlined flow. 

And with offline-first capture, representatives can keep working even when the venue network can’t. Find out more

The Field App runs on iOS and Android and is enabled per workspace by your Onomi team. Any template or copy made from that workspace will include the Field App.

Before your congress, make sure representatives are running the latest version of the mobile app.

If your organization publishes its own branded app, allow additional time for the app update and publishing process. App Store review can take up to a week, in addition to your own release process.

Contact your Onomi Account Manager or Implementation Manager to plan the Field App for an upcoming congress.
