Project Summary

Simelabs developed a companion mobile application for a residential cloud solution using Xamarin, integrating it with an existing API and building a stable architecture and infrastructure. The app was released on Google Play in beta and the iOS version was pending Apple approval; the vendor delivered on schedule and will continue to support future mobile feature development. The client's team provided the API and testing environment while Simelabs handled application architecture, development, and integration.

Key Challenges

Lack of internal bandwidth for mobile development.
Internal engineering was focused on the website and lacked a mobile team.

Project Deliverables

Mobile app (Android released; iOS pending)
Integration with existing API
Stable, standard app architecture and infrastructure planning
Release on Google Play and app submission for iOS

Project Solution

Simelabs architected and developed a cross-platform mobile application using Xamarin, integrating it with the client's existing API to pull residential cloud data into the app. They designed a stable, standard architecture, planned the infrastructure and bandwidth needs, and managed development and releases (Android already released; iOS pending). The vendor worked closely with the client's engineering team while handling most of the project management and development tasks.

Project Outcome

App is in beta with around 100–200 downloads.
Expecting 10,000–20,000 downloads within two months after iOS release.
Android version released on Google Play; iOS release pending Apple approval.
Delivered on schedule with strong architecture, communication, and stable design.

Quality of Deliverables

“Simelabs (formerly Logiticks) delivered the app on time but it’s still in its beta version and will be marketed after its pending iOS release. Their knowledge, design expertise, communication skills, and competitive pricing added value to the project and they’ll be in charge of future feature updates to the app.”
