Project Summary

Dev.Pro designed and developed a Xamarin-based cockpit data application that runs on iOS and Windows, delivering a front-end for real-time airline data and third-party algorithms. They provided technology selection, UI/UX design, DevOps implementation, and code-review/cybersecurity support. Initial users praised the app's usability and stakeholders highlighted the modern design and effective collaboration.

Key Challenges

Need to develop a front-end application for the company's services.
Staff up the organization quickly without waiting for internal hires.
Decide on a technology that supports dual-platform deployment (Windows and iOS).
Efficiently transmit expensive real-time data between ground and aircraft while integrating third-party algorithms.

Project Deliverables

Mobile cockpit application (Xamarin)
UI/UX design
DevOps implementation and ongoing DevOps support
Technical specification for real-time data integration and third-party algorithms
Code reviews and cybersecurity/communication protocol agreements
Knowledge transfer and consulting / handoff for version one

Project Solution

Dev.Pro advised on technology selection and quickly recommended Xamarin to enable dual-platform deployment. They built version one of a cockpit application compiled for iOS and Windows, designed the UI/UX, implemented DevOps processes, integrated real-time data feeds and third-party algorithms per specification, conducted code reviews focused on communication protocols and code quality, and provided consulting and knowledge transfer during handoff.

Project Outcome

Usability rated very high by airline trial customers.
Exceeded expectations on design and ease of collaboration.
Clarified missing specifications and recovered progress after initial hiccups, resuming with 10% of the original schedule.
