Feed Management System (dairy farming) 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.
