Hilo, Hawaii Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Luminix Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for advancing mobile CRM data synchronization. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12026174, titled ‘Systems and methods for facilitation communications among customer relationship management users’, uses a multi-table local database system to maintain seamless CRM functionality – even when offline.
The patent introduces a method that allows mobile users to read and write CRM data without needing constant internet access. By creating a local database on the device, users can continue their work uninterrupted. When reconnected, the system intelligently synchronizes changes between the mobile device and the cloud-based CRM platform.
This innovation addresses a common challenge faced by sales and service professionals: maintaining productivity in areas with unreliable connectivity. The system employs three distinct local tables – representing the original, updated, and synchronized data states – to ensure data integrity and consistency during the sync process.
A visual status indicator provides users with immediate feedback on the synchronization status, enhancing user experience and trust in the system. This feature is particularly beneficial for field teams who require reliable access to up-to-date information.
By enabling robust offline capabilities and efficient data reconciliation, Luminix Inc.’s technology sets a new standard for mobile CRM applications. It empowers professionals to work effectively, regardless of their network environment, and ensures that critical customer data remains accurate and accessible.
This patent not only showcases Luminix Inc.’s commitment to solving real-world problems but also highlights the company’s role in shaping the future of mobile enterprise solutions.
