Engagement Situation & Challenges
One of our client’s main products was a web-based application used by airlines and operators to track and report lost or damaged bags, returning them for their owners.
The Company had a simple Proof of Concept for a mobile version of its web application – and needed a Team to improve its idea and execute its implementation into a real-life product, using up-to-date technologies and coordinating with other teams and stakeholders.
The Solution
Our development team worked for an entire year to turn the Proof of Concept into a full mobile app for iOS tablets. After we implemented the initial version, it went into testing in a big airport in Europe.
The mobile app makes it easier for companies and ground handlers to deal with passengers when they have lost or damaged baggage. They have an easier interface to work with and can scan the boarding pass to retrieve the passenger’s information. If needed, passengers can enter their info themselves.
Since the implementation, we have been working closely with the client and stakeholders on additional features and improvements, based on customers’ feedback. Nowadays, the application is used in various major airports around the world.
