DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW:

The App is more than just an emergency mobile app; it’s a comprehensive technological solution for user safety and daily assistance. Our goal was to create an application that caters to both emergency and everyday needs of users.

We developed The App to provide crucial information about weather, emergency situations, and schedules for trains and planes. Additionally, we implemented practical features such as reminders for tax dues and readings of utility meters in specific areas.

The project was executed on both iOS and Android platforms using Flutter SDK, which allowed us to ensure a seamless experience in both emergency situations and everyday life. The primary focus during development was on flexibility and scalability, allowing the application to adapt to various requirements and usage conditions.

Throughout the development process, we closely collaborated with the client to accurately understand and embody their vision, enabling us to create a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of users and the client.

Client Goal:

Initially, the client approached us to support and refine the alpha version of the The App. However, over time, our partnership evolved. We transitioned from being just a support team to an integral part of their project, actively contributing to and influencing the app's development

Evolving Role and Contributions:

While we began with addressing specific client requests, our role expanded significantly. We not only executed tasks but also started proposing and implementing new features and functionalities.

This proactive approach led to a complete overhaul of the app’s interface and the addition of new, user-centric functionalities.

Our enduring collaboration with the client is a testament to our commitment to the project and our ability to live and breathe the app’s vision.

Challenges and Solutions:

Optimizing Push Notifications:

Challenge: Push notifications are pivotal for The App, requiring fast delivery and guaranteed performance.

Solution: Achieved a 20-fold optimization of app processes and workflows, complemented by an upgraded notification service.

User-Friendly Interface for Varied Audiences:

Challenge: Addressing a diverse user base, including Ministry of Emergencies staff with limited technical skills, necessitated a simplified interface.

Solution: We successfully revamped the application interface, ensuring simplicity with a maximum one-level nesting in each menu. Additionally, clear instructions were incorporated for operator workflows, streamlining the UX/UI of the administrative panel.

Integration with Various Services and Tools:

Challenge: Seamless integration with services like seismic sensors demanded a reliable API due to the critical nature of the app.

Solution: We enhanced the API to facilitate wake-up functionality for phones and efficient processing of numerous operations.

Rigorous testing ensured near 100% functionality across both the application and administrative panel.
