Project Summary

QSS Technosoft developed multiple cross-platform biometric mobile applications using Xamarin and C#. They built Android, Windows and iOS versions, integrated fingerprint and face-capture SDKs, and implemented a server to manage cross-platform licenses. The vendor provided ongoing development support and has helped commercialize one app while preparing others for market.

Key Challenges

Build cross-platform biometric-enabled mobile applications for Android, iOS, and Windows
Foster cross-platform, mobile, biometric and Xamarin competencies within the development team
Manage device-specific SDKs and peripherals that complicate testing and require physical devices for QA

Project Deliverables

Biometric-enabled Android app (proof of concept)
Decedent fingerprint card application (Android; later Windows and iOS versions)
Server for managing cross-platform user licenses
Reused code and additional mobile apps including a face-capture app and a crime-scene investigator app

Project Solution

QSS Technosoft built a series of biometric-enabled mobile applications using Xamarin and C#. They developed a proof-of-concept Android app integrating a fingerprint scanner SDK, extended that work into a decedent fingerprint card app (Android, later Windows and iOS), and implemented a server to manage cross-platform licenses. The team reskinned applications, integrated new scanner SDKs, added face-capture functionality, and reused code across multiple apps while supporting testing and commercialization efforts.

Project Outcome

Developed four cross-platform applications
One application commercially sold with multiple purchases; three others in the process of commercialization
Small-scale adoption to date with planned enhancements to achieve wider adoption
