About

The Client is a software product company that specializes in business process automation for the mining industry. Their products are used by 80% of the Australian mining companies. One of the distinct advantages of the Client’s products is software as a service (SaaS) approach, when customers purchase a license and access software via a web interface. This approach minimizes upfront costs and simplifies deployment and support.

Challenge

Australia’s governmental regulations require companies operating in the mining industry to comply with local labor protection, safety, and accident prevention regulations.

For example, before starting a working shift, each driver/operator working in a quarry or a mine has to fill out equipment inspection and availability checklists. Originally, this was routine paperwork with a range of disadvantages

Solution

With wide experience in .NET development and a profound knowledge of the fleet management industry, VolgoTechnologies took on the task.

Since truck drivers and equipment operators owned different types of mobile devices, iOS, Android and Windows Phone application versions had to be created. Thus, the project team decided to opt for hybrid development based on Xamarin. This helped to save project investments and ensured identical user experience on all mobile devices. Since employees and their supervisors are often provided with corporate tablet computers, the application had to be adapted for these tablets as well.
