Explore the journey from challenge to triumph, where farmers and sales representatives are empowered with precision and efficiency, even in the remotest corners of Ireland. Join us as we unveil the seamless synergy of Swift/iOS development and agricultural ingenuity.
The Big Problem
To allow farmers and sales representatives to quickly and accurately calculate feed and silage requirements using a mobile device, without requiring an active internet connection.
The Solution
A native iOS app that allows farmers to calculate in exact quantities the meal required to feed animals, in conjunction with hay, grass or silage, in order to achieve specific milk and beef yields. This allows farmers to budget their feed requirements and livestock management accordingly.
The Result
- To develop a pair of performant native apps for iOS and Android that can retrieve and render a vast array of products from a sophisticated backend system. Integrate a number of payment gateways at the app-level in order to give users a flexible checkout experience. Allow for doctor’s prescriptions to be uploaded through the app for verification by a chemist. Maintain a data-conscious throughout the app, allowing the app to function and be responsive even under limited connectivity.
