"The Internet has changed everything," noted the association on its mobile app webpage on the Apple iTunes platform. "That includes the way we do business. From online shopping carts to blogs, from social marketing to a range of other online business resources, there are plenty of opportunities for business owners to boost their competitiveness via the Internet."

The Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce admitted that taking advantage of some opportunities can be "challenging" but their mission is to help its members use what the Internet provides. The association hopes to make the any method of communication easier with the app, which is also free.

The Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce app is available on Apple's iTunes and Google Play.
