Winners were chosen by subscribers of MobileVillage's "Go Mobile™" – a free bi-weekly email newsletter that delivers informative headlines and links to top mobile technology stories on popular websites including: Cnet, Mashable, BGR, Engadget, PC World, Computerworld, and many others. "Go Mobile" was launched nearly 12 years ago and is now read by thousands of readers.

“We’re honored to receive the Mobile Shining Star Award in the category of Best Mobile Enterprise App,” said Philipp Schloter, CEO of ABUKAI. “We look forward to continuing to provide our customers outstanding service, making the expense reporting process a seamless, fast and easy process.”

"The Mobile Star Awards pits today's most exciting new mobile products and companies against established competitors, and the thousands of mobile-savvy readers of 'Go Mobile' choose the winners," says Mobile Star Awards director Gary Thayer. "In this way, winners are chosen by real users who really love the product. And both the nominees and winners are respected in the mobile industry as the new 'stars' to watch."

ABUKAI and its leading service, ABUKAI Expenses, helps companies and business users track and control costs associated with business travel by simply taking photos of their receipts with their smart phone. ABUKAI Expenses automatically creates the expense reports for the users.

Unlike other expense report offerings, ABUKAI Expenses users do not ‘key’ information into mobile devices or computers. ABUKAI automatically creates your expense reports for you, with cost categorization, date, vendor and other required information already filled in. Even currency conversion is automated. Once a report is created, it is sent via email to a preferred email address along with a PDF document with copies of the receipt images for the expenses in that report. For corporate account customers, ABUKAI offers several options to input expense data directly into existing expense management or accounting systems accommodating many of the data formats most commonly used for that purpose.
