Challenges
Getting All Digitalized
Previously, Dow’s employees and contractors had to constantly refer to large physical rule books or their computers to get any data concerning the Environment Health & Safety norms at the firm. The client wanted us to find a solution that would enable them to translate all Environment Health & Safety related documents into a mobile app.
Meeting Project Deadline
One of the main challenges was the extremely short deadline to finish the project. The application had to go live very soon as announcements of the release had already been made. So, the development work was supposed to be planned according to the short deadline.
Tracking Usage Statistics
We were supposed to build a database of all the users of the app as well as track their usage statistics. The company had no automated means of getting feedback of the working tools and policies from its workforce, so an interface to enable Dow to get this feedback to ensure their safety was also to be included in this mobile app.
Proposition Offered
Resourcifi identified the problem and took it as a challenge to deliver the Phase 1 within the timeline. We put along a hybrid team of on-site and off-site, highly skilled Android & iOS developers for this project.
This hybrid team of developers built a custom application so Dow could track usage statistics of all its users and get the required feedback.
Resourcifi also developed a custom mobile app for the client to allow easy access to EH&S related data in a user-friendly way to all its employees.
