Dairy Business Startup Exceeds Investor and User Expectations with Cross-Platform App

FACILITATE COLLABORATION IN AN INDUSTRY WITH MULTIPLE AND DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS

In the dairy supply chain, there are many steps and stakeholders involved: the farmer who owns livestock, the producers who develop dairy products, the retailers who commercialize the products, the consumers who buy them and so on. Even though these roles are all part of the same process, they don’t always communicate or collaborate in an optimal, transparent way. This was the problem that Vyla sought to solve. The startup envisioned a collaborative dashboard software to better connect the production process and players to increase collaboration and improve results, but couldn’t bring that idea to life without an experienced software development partner.

Developing Native Apps to Make Dairy Operations More Efficient

Our professionals worked in three teams: iOS, Android and Backend. Along with the Product Owner from the client side, we defined the priorities for both products and worked on dedicated sprints for delivering new releases frequently to the app stores. Vyla’s first version was built in iOS and then we worked on an Android app with the same characteristics. We knew this app would incorporate new functionalities and users over time, so it was important to create the right structures to ensure the product’s evolution. In addition to receiving information, users can also take informed actions by creating tasks and sharing information easily.

Collaborative Solution Brings in Funding to Support Business Growth

Our client had a strict time frame to fulfill and our team aligned with their expectations: we launched the first version of the app quickly, which helped the company get funding to work on the second version. Using Vyla, farmers can now check out data from different sources in a single place. The app has a cool and configurable UX/UI, in which users decide what information they want to see and how they want to visualize it, via widgets that include different farm KPIs. The data is provided by a third-party company that specializes in dairy metrics. We highlight the products’ ability to present a large amount of data in a clear, concise way. Another important initiative was the integration of specific QA processes into the development progress, such as unit tests and UI tests for making sure every iteration functioned smoothly. We assisted the client in the implementation of the platform in 15+ farms, taking care of the solution’s UX/UI and ensuring technical quality standards. Once this step was completed, the process and application we built was seamless enough for the client to handle in-house, so we stepped aside and provided them with the documentation required for their internal teams to work on the maintenance.
