OPPORTUNITY

Cycling up or down a scenic mountain route may appeal to many adventure seekers. It’s just that any minor mishap can lead to disastrous–even life-threatening consequences. Being mindful of such occurrences, Skillion, a long-time creator of eBikes, thought of connecting and securing a fleet of bikes in Australia. 

So, after acquiring funds from the USA in 2019, the HAWKeye project was finally initiated. After a comprehensive market analysis, Skillion engaged BrainX to make their connected dashboard mobile app a reality.

APPROACH

Initially, team BrainX was contacted through a series of emails. Once the project started taking shape, verbal communication increased between team members from both sides. The app requirements and specifications were established after numerous detailed meetings.


The Hawkeye app designs and prototypes were built, exchanged, and finalized soon after. Once the development started, a working product was delivered after each sprint as our company adopted the Agile methodology to see the project through.

SOLUTION

The app was supposed to help riders enjoy their biking experience and keep track of their rides. So, one of the biggest challenges in developing a connected dashboard app for bikes was ensuring that it’s easy to use while on the go.


Many existing apps are difficult to read or operate while riding, and they can be disconnected from other apps and the bike itself. So, to overcome these issues, the app uses modes to allow riders to quickly switch between various screens at the touch of a button.


The key innovation in the app is the IF module and Thumb Controller that connect to the eBike motor and the phone via Bluetooth. Once connected, riders can control their bikes and access the app's features without looking down at their phone, improving their situational awareness and safety.


The app offers several other unique features, such as:


  • Find-a-bike feature: Allows riders to see the location of other bikes using the app, and it’s handy when riding with others.
  • Flash messaging: Riders can quickly send messages to other users on the app using this feature.
  • The Hawkeye rear camera feature: Uses AI to detect vehicles approaching from behind the rider.
  • Tours: A feature that allows riders to follow a scenic route from one point to another.

    With constant innovation driving the automotive industry, buying and selling second-hand vehicles often presents a complex crossroads for many.

    The used car market is plagued by a process reliant on spreadsheets, handwritten notes, and fragmented information. This not only creates inefficiencies but also hinders transparency and accountability.

    Such intricacies necessitated an alternative to the conventional paper-based method. Recognizing the need for a modern solution, BrainX Technologies was contacted to evolve the second-hand car dealership market.

    Our team of experts designed and developed a comprehensive Second-Hand Car Dealership app across Android and iOS platforms, enabling seamless tracking of taxes, payments, and stocks through a unified Xero integration platform.

    APPROACH

    Since it was a clean slate, the BrainX team started with multiple meetings to meticulously understand the project's unique requisites. With a clear requirements blueprint, we seamlessly transitioned into the creative phase, exchanging, refining, and finalizing app designs and prototypes.

    Another challenge was to collaborate with the Xero Integration team and get their documentation that was resolved with the cooperation of the client.

    As the project gained momentum, the design, mobile app, and web development teams joined heads to make this project successful. The BrainX team developed the product in sprints while adhering to the Agile methodology. Post internal testing, the project was forwarded to the client for User Acceptance Testing (UAT) before the final deployment.

    Experts at BrainX Technologies, driven by a keen understanding of client's needs, embarked on the mission to craft a seamless platform tailored for second-hand car dealerships. Throughout this venture, the BrainX team prioritized the user experience, security, and convenience of car owners and dealers. While setting the foot right and accomplishing each milestone, we were able to provide the following solutions.


    Wide Accessibility:  Developed and deployed an Android app in Kotlin, and an iOS app in Swift, for buying, selling, and exchanging second-hand vehicles, owner subscriptions, and stock checks.
    Owner Dashboard:  The BrainX team constructed a user-friendly Admin Portal using the ROR tech stack for owners to log/sign in and keep track of the store details, current subscriptions, and billing information.
    Unified Transactions: We designed a hierarchical system enabling companies to purchase app access for employees, enabling collaboration and consolidated record-keeping.
    Effortless Account Management: Xero integration in the apps enabled effortless management of all account operations such as saving the purchased car detail, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive and secure user experience.
    Hassle-Free In-App Purchases : BrainX experts integrated RevenueCat for seamless in-app purchases, enhancing user convenience and experience.
