What is Gapp?
Gapp is a mobile application designed to transform the way organizations interact with their users in today’s rapidly evolving digital environment. Focusing on integrated self-service solutions, Gapp provides users with intuitive features to streamline processes and increase productivity.
Gapp Versions

- Gapp White Label. Gapp White Label offers an extended, customizable mobile application specifically designed to accommodate an organization’s GLPI management requisites and branding. Tailored for larger entities or intricate usage scenarios, it ensures a seamless fit for diverse organizational needs.
Gapp Self-Service Configuration
Configuring Gapp Self-Service is a straightforward process that involves just two steps:
- Server-side Configuration. Begin by enabling the API support on your GLPI server. Detailed instructions on how to accomplish this can be found in our dedicated guide: How to set up GLPI API.
- Client-side Configuration. After configuring GLPI, proceed to download Gapp Self-Service from Google Play Store. Upon installation, input your server configuration details into the app.
With these two steps completed, your Gapp Self-Service will be fully configured and ready to optimize your workflow seamlessly.
