Mobile App Modernization Improves Field Service Efficiency with Offline Access

Built a mobile app that lets field engineers access device data offline, with automatic syncing once they're back online.

Mobile Applications

Objective

Design a mobile experience that supports offline access to water device data and build a UI that works across different brands and roles.

Challenge

Coordinating multiple brands, roles, and data sources across regions while ensuring usability and consistency in one shared app.

Solution

Used React Native to support both iOS and Android, integrated Realm for reliable offline syncing, and developed a shared UI library to ensure consistency across brands.

Results

Gave field teams the ability to access and manage data without needing a constant connection. The app syncs automatically in the background, improving speed and reducing manual work in the field.
