Project Summary

A smart indoor greenhouse manufacturer partnered with Innowise Group to develop a mobile app, a Shopify website, and ESP32 firmware integrated with a Node.js backend. The vendor implemented firmware (MicroPython + C), backend services, and front-end/mobile interfaces, and provided project management via Confluence, Loom, and regular meetings. The client reports that the website, app, and firmware now work smoothly and praises the vendor's professionalism, punctuality, and responsiveness.

Key Challenges

Lack of in-house expertise across app development, web development, Shopify development, and ESP32 firmware development
Need for a vendor capable of multi-technology delivery (mobile, web, firmware, backend)

Project Deliverables

Mobile app
Shopify website
ESP32 firmware
Backend (Node.js)

Project Solution

Innowise Group provided full-stack development and firmware work for a smart indoor hydroponic garden. They developed ESP32 firmware (MicroPython + C) to control LEDs, webcam, water and nutrient flow and integrated it with a Node.js backend API. They also built a mobile app for end-users and a Shopify website. The team used Confluence for requirements and story creation, produced estimates, and communicated daily via Skype and through defined groups, later moving to twice-weekly meetings and Loom demos for stakeholders.

Project Outcome

Everything works smoothly across the website, mobile app, and firmware
Stability and fewer issues compared to prior vendors
Improved project management and communication with daily then twice-weekly meetings and Loom demos
