Authenticity Proofing Solution (IoT)
What can you do if you have a promising product idea, but no time to develop it in-house? The answer is to hire an experienced partner who will support you with their software delivery know-how and experienced experts. A qualified team and a well-matched project methodology can lead you to outstanding results – read our case study to learn how the guidance of a technology partner can become a real game-changer.
Project background
- The Client, a Swedish company operating in the IoT industry, reached out to us to develop a cloud-based infrastructure, software for factories and mobile application supporting product authenticity verification. The company was launched by an experienced founder of a few successful companies who had over 20 years of business experience.
- The product was intended to be a cloud-based universal solution that could be successfully used worldwide, by a number of companies. Its mechanism was based on package scanning and comparing the scan with the benchmark photo which was prepared right in the factory and loaded up to the cloud template database.
- Although the client had former experience in producing IoT and image recognition solutions, they didn’t have the capacity to complete such a big project on their own. This is why they decided to ask for help and hire an experienced technology partner who will help develop a long-term delivery strategy.
Project challenges
Solutions and Technologies
As a key member of the project team, the IT Architect designed the entire solution and planned its implementation. Shortly after, we built a team containing a Product Coordinator, Python, C++ developers, a Business Analyst and QA specialists. We were also supported by developers from the Client’s internal team experienced in AI and building advanced algorithms. In addition, we used the Microsoft Azure cloud, which could be easily done in Python and offered a functional SDK. The Client decided to follow our recommendations, and we managed to kick off and complete the project fast.
The Client became confident about using SCRUM in their daily work
In this project, we not only developed the solution but also provided the Client with an accurate project management methodology. We recommended working in SCRUM as this was the best way to manage this type of project, and we helped the client to establish processes. They didn’t have experience in this method, but thanks to our support, they were able to take over the project management after the major part was completed. At the moment of the takeover, they were already fully convinced about the SCRUM benefits and confident about using it in their daily work, so we were sure they were well-prepared. After the takeover, our developers remained active in the project.
Technologies applied:
- C++
- Python
- Flask2
- Azure MQTT
Results
After 6 months, we managed to define the clear vision of the product and successfully lead the client through the entire SCRUM implementation. They managed to learn enough to become independent and manage the project on their own. The client was also satisfied with the dedicated team. As IT-experienced specialists themselves, they claimed that it rarely happens to build such a qualified and efficient project team. Within a short time, they saw their brief idea turning into a functional product with the potential to be scaled and developed further, which resulted in overall high satisfaction.
