Story:

Our client explained that the current version of the website was not responsive and also not mobile-friendly. Furthermore, the information on the website was outdated, and there were a number of different technical and SEO issues.

What we do:

The new interface was developed by a third-party design agency provided by the client. The CitrusDev team discovered the entire design for both desktop and mobile versions, clarified incoming requirements from the client, and suggested some additional improvements from our side.

Feedback summary:

Impressively, CITRUSDEV met the client’s goals and deadlines, rendering a pixel-perfect HTML markup implemented in WordPress. The team maintained a high-level project approach and communication. Above all, their speed, work quality, and transparent customer service were exceptional.

Story:

Customer provided an old version mobile app for Windows phone devices that had only a wired connection interface with a weight controller. There was no documentation and no access to sources of mobile application or backend. So we decided to start from scratch keeping in mind problems that customers faced with the current version.
There were 5 main stages of cooperation: development of detailed Software requirements specification (SRS) – 1 month; MVP development and integration on partners farm – 4 months; feedback gathering and support of MVP – 3 months; core development – 6-8 months; features development –  (November 2020).

What we do:

SRS project documentation
Mobile Android app
Integration with weight controller via WiFi & Bluetooth
Backend with REST API
Backoffice (farm management, analytics, reporting and control)

Besides writing documentation and development tasks we resolved a lot of related issues. F.e. Customer had no hardware chosen as a basic tech solution, so our team took an active part in communication with different vendors, research connection, communication and data exchange protocols etc, checking what is better for Customer needs WiFi and/or Bluetooth based scale modules.

Truly said the R&D process was really exciting and each member of our team was deeply involved into.

Results:

Developed MVP was successfully installed on 3 farms, first feedback from farmers was obtained.

Farm productivity increase
Better traceability of animals nutrition
Yields increase
Animals fertility increase
Herd management
Full control of your farm financial, human and material resources

This project case was developed for Polyscale, a company of approximately 50 employees operating in the appliance, electrical, and electronics manufacturing industries. The department we collaborated with specialized in developing, manufacturing, and distributing light guide plate (LGP) based systems. 

Our client was completing the production of LED panels and needed to develop a mobile application for controlling these panels. The interesting part of the task was that it was essentially a constructor, where the end user could determine the order of the panels by composing different geometric shapes. During the requirements gathering stage, the client noted that speed was important to him at the moment, as the company had to present its project at an exhibition.
