Cooperation started after in-house development encountered hard to resolve issues and needed consultancy to solve them.

Our software development services focused on following topics:

• Review existing code
• Improve reliability and implement fail-safe FOTA
• Offline data storage including debug logs
• WiFi assisted GPS fix
• Wake up on accelerometer motion
• Power consumption optimization

Results and Impact

Active development lasted 6 months, during this period we managed to:

• Reduce average power consumption by 70%
• Reduced average reboots per month from 15 to 0
• 100% of data collected is stored and send when connection is available
• Reduced clients predicted time to market by half
