Cogniteq

Our team developed two different coffee roasting IoT apps for iOS and Android platforms

The apps were built for IKAWA, a UK-based company engaged in manufacturing and selling two types of coffee roasters – high-tech professional and regular home machines. In order not to develop a similar functionality twice, our experts created a common app core with basic functionality (IKAWA Home version). The IKAWA Pro version includes some extra features.

Our key priority was to create the most convenient functionality for coffee enthusiasts who can customize the coffee roasting recipes exactly how they prefer. The apps allow setting very precise coffee beans roasting. Users can create their own roasting recipes by either putting points in the Roast Graph or prescribing the time and temperature for each point.

With our applications, IKAWA achieved a significant increase in sales revenue. Moreover, the growing popularity of IKAWA coffee roasters boosted the development of new versions of the machines.

Cogniteq developers created an official mobile application for fans of the world-famous Chelsea FC.

The app for the guests of Chelsea FC has rich functionality that helps them plan their visit to the game at the stadium and also enhances their experience. The range of its features includes exclusive offers, travel assistance, match schedules, weather forecasts, profiles of all Chelsea players, the latest club news about matches, scores, and club events. 

Users of the app also have access to a hospitality guide. This guide covers such issues as menu and wine list, information about the staff responsible for catering and hosting, guides on hotel rooms and business meeting halls, dress code and others.

The Chelsea FC Hospitality app has managed to gain thousands of satisfied users among both season ticket holders and guests of Stamford Bridge. After the app was launched, the club noted a significant improvement in the quality of guest care at their facilities.

Cogniteq had a task to develop four IoT apps for Android and iOS intended for cyclists.

We built two new Android apps based on the old one, improved its design and created two separate apps for iOS users. For Android applications, there was an important requirement to leave the core of the old code and separate its contents into a library for reuse. 

The apps are able to recognize the sensor, connect it to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, receive data from the strain gauge, store data locally in a special format, synchronize data with the server.

The apps also enable users to calibrate the sensor and check for bootloader and firmware updates. Some versions of the app provide the possibility to register a user. The server side interprets the data and generates visuals and reports.

As a result, TeamZWATT reported a significant growth in strain gauge sales. The development of the applications also made it possible for the company to launch new lines of products under its brand-name.

EnvirON is an IoT iOS app for remote control of household appliances.

This app is designed to be the best and easiest way to operate any device you might have in your home, including TVs, music systems, lights, kitchen appliances, door locks, wireless light switches, or remote controls.

The way EnvirOn works is exceptionally simple: the app uses Bluetooth to connect to hubs that link devices on a home automation network and control communications among them. Hubs provide seamless communication between iPhone / iPad and smart home devices. Users need to purchase some special hardware to exploit the EnvirOn app. At least, it is necessary to buy the EnvirOn Hub.

EnvirOn does not require Wi-Fi to work. It means the app can be used anywhere, for instance, at schools, healthcare institutions, etc.

EnvirOn has become one of the best disability-friendly apps and has helped the company to bring EnvirOn Hub hardware to the disabled assistive devices market.

Having robust expertise in FinTech, Cogniteg developers built a mobile banking app for a major Kazakhstan bank.

Our experts designed features that allow users to make payments, top up the balance of Altyn cards, transfer money from a card to a bank account or any other card. The app makes it easier to move money between Altyn cards and externally linked ones: a user needs to enter CVV / CVC codes.

The app also provides 24-hour access to accounts, account histories, and transactions, bills and mortgage payments, international money transfers. Via the app, it is possible to open accounts and deposits, to issue loans and credit cards.

Thanks to reliable tools of authentication including verification by SMS code, fingerprint, and ID scan, the introduction of one-time passwords to confirm transactions and the use of the 3D Secure technology, we achieved complete data protection

The Altyn-i app became the first mobile banking app in Kazakhstan. Money transfers have become simple and fast.

Our team built a large eLearning platform that has iOS, desktop, and web app versions.

The online learning platform contains a great number of video seminars for those who are interested in getting professional knowledge in different spheres.

All the versions of the platform have such features as honesty detection to prevent users from cheating, copyright protection, user authentication and multi-language support. 

When a course is completed, a user gets a certificate. Our experts also integrated a payment service to allow users to pay for courses directly on the platform.

In addition, we developed a separate desktop application for professors to upload video lessons and tutorials that they prepare for students.

The company got a full-fledged app, which led to increased customer loyalty and acquiring new customers. The application is becoming increasingly popular among Belgians. The platform already contains hundreds of training courses and their number is growing.

Cogniteq built a live TV Android and iOS streaming app for broadcasting on-demand videos and live streams.

We created this app for Daystar Television Network that is a US-based Christian TV network. The main thing that makes Daystar different from a portal with internet television is the way content is delivered to the user. In the app, the signal is shaped at the place where the event is taking place.

For broadcasting on-demand videos in our app, we used standard components: MPMoviePlayer and AVPlayerViewControlle. They can easily play MP4 files via the indicated HTTP URL. 

Daystar also provides the possibility to record and re-watch any videos, as well as to return to the most interesting moments chosen by editors and other users. Moreover, we integrated a system of copyright protection into the app.

As a result, we can observe a significant growth in Daystar’s unique users per month. The app offers the highest quality of video and functions without interruptions.

Our specialists created a pet social networking mobile app for Android and iOS.

The core purpose of  Bauwow is to enable users to make new friends, to find the best places for pet walking and playing, to provide tips and guidelines for taking care of a dog. 

Users can post photos of their pets, share news, “bark” photos of other dogs, and send/ accept friend requests. Moreover, dog breeders can arrange collective dog walking, track walking routes on the map, and share them on the social network.

The Health module allows users to record a pet's medical history and schedule visits to vets or groomers who are also invited for collaboration.

The app is integrated with Google Map services that provide information on dog-friendly places in the local area like restaurants, bars, cafes, accommodations and pet feeders.

Bauwow became the largest pet social networking application in Europe and the UK.

Over 35,000 users and 80,000 businesses are signed up for Bauwow.

Connected Kitchen developed by Cogniteq is a healthcare cooking app for people with brain dysfunctions.

Our experts developed a mobile application for the Android platform, taking into account all the requirements of the UK National Health Service. The Connected Kitchen app contains very simple culinary recipes with detailed step-by-step cooking instructions.

One of the key requirements was to provide voice control for the app, this feature was successfully implemented.

We also synchronized the Connected Kitchen functionality with a special bracelet via Bluetooth. If a user moves outside the kitchen zone, the bracelet emits sound signals and vibrates to remind them they are cooking. The bracelet also acts as a reminder in the kitchen. 

The application is able to function offline as well.

Connected Kitchen is actively being introduced to people with brain dysfunctions and has proven to be an effective, suitable solution for some of the key issues they face.

Cogniteq experts created a feature-rich AR mobile app for a hub terminal selling company.

The idea behind the AR Experience app was to allow users to view a virtual 3D model of a hub terminal from different sides in AR, get acquainted with its functionality, and read the description.

The app is able to read QR codes and to take screenshots of AR content. To develop this function, we used several Android API variants for working with Bitmap, applied third-party solutions, and conducted integration with the server-side.

The application can be used by different target groups as it ensures great flexibility in providing access to specific functionality.

We also created a template for the AR Experience app to facilitate its further support and provide the client’s team with the possibility to re-use the code in similar projects easily.

Thanks to the integration of the AR features into communication with clients, the company has noted sales growth.
