Challenges

Bringing legacy hardware into the smart device era required solving for multi-platform performance, integration complexity, and remote collaboration.

Risks of duplicated development efforts

The client needed to support both iOS and Android but there were risks of duplicated development efforts and inconsistent user experiences across platforms.

Complex device-to-mobile integration barriers

Connecting hundreds of traditional hardware devices to modern mobile interfaces created significant technical challenges in real-time monitoring and remote control capabilities.

Distributed team collaboration bottlenecks

Geographically dispersed development teams struggled with code integration, consistent implementation, and maintaining synchronized product development cycles.

Solution

Developed a scalable, multi-platform mobile architecture with custom-built, reusable components, and Redux-based state management for performance and reliability. 

Shared mobile architecture 

Implemented a cross-platform framework that enables complete component reusability across the entire mobile stack, improving collaboration between development teams. 

Centralized state handling

Established a unified approach to manage app behavior across screens and user sessions, minimizing UI inconsistencies and workflow errors. 

Consistent UI components 

Developed a library of reusable design elements to accelerate development cycles and maintain visual consistency across the app. 

Continuous integration pipeline 

Created a deployment workflow that allowed teams to independently build, test, and release features at a faster pace. 

Business impact

Delivered a crash-free app ecosystem with seamless smart device management, faster deployments, and a smooth user experience.

Scalablility

Robust hardware integration

Integrated 100+ devices into the mobile ecosystem, providing reliable remote control and diagnostics at scale.

Fully component reusability

Enabled full reuse of UI components across platforms, accelerating development and improving alignment between iOS and Android teams.

Stable performance

Released with zero crashes or major regressions, delivering a smooth user experience and minimizing support overhead.
