The Challenge
The client lacked a centralized mobile application to efficiently disseminate data, information, and updates to organizational members.
They required separate sections to share information, photos, and videos of their initiatives for better user engagement and visibility.
The client wanted to integrate smooth animation effects and dark/light themes into the application for enhancing visual appeal.
They wanted to allow users to search members’ locations and identify them on maps from the mobile application for better user connectivity, interaction, and engagement.
The client wanted to enable users to access, create, edit, and organize shortcuts on the mobile application, allowing them to take quick actions.
Despite the heavy features, they wanted the application to perform consistently and optimally on Android and iOS platforms.
Our Solution
The Programmers.io team followed an Agile approach to deliver impactful results in 12 months.
Requirement Analysis
The Programmers.io team collaborated closely with the client to gather detailed requirements, ensuring a thorough understanding of their needs and challenges. By defining the project scope and prioritizing features, they laid the foundation for a solution tailored to the client’s objectives.
Design and Prototyping
They visualized the app’s structure and navigation using detailed wireframes while developing prototypes to validate key features. In addition, they incorporated client feedback iteratively to ensure the design aligned seamlessly with the organization’s goals and user expectations.
Application Development
The team utilized React Native to develop a cross-platform app that delivered a consistent user experience on iOS and Android. They also employed modular coding practices and Wix React Native Navigation to ensure scalability and efficient navigation throughout the application.
Media Section Creation
The Programmers.io team developed blog, photo gallery, and news sections to highlight organizational events. Additionally, the team integrated React Native YouTube for seamless video playback, offering visually appealing and easily accessible media content to increase user engagement.
Animation and Theme Incorporation
They incorporated smooth animations to modernize the mobile application's interface and improve interactivity. In addition, a dark/light theme was introduced that users could switch between to enhance accessibility and receive a personalized user experience.
Geolocation Feature Integration
The team used Google Map Geolocation and Marker to create a precise and efficient member search function based on location. They ensured the feature integrated seamlessly with member profiles for effective connection and interaction between users.
Shortcut Management Enablement
The Programmers.io team implemented a shortcut management feature for allowing users to quickly access frequently used sections throughout the application, enhance navigation efficiency, and improve overall user experience.
QA and Testing
They conducted compatibility testing across devices to ensure stability and performance consistency. In addition, the team used Postman for API testing and Expo for functionality testing. They also performed acceptance testing to confirm the application met client expectations.

Mobile Application Enhancement and Upgradation Drove Pharmaceutical Operational Excellence
I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
