The Challenges
With the strong vision to help the citizens of Canada and make this world a better place to live, the mobile app ideation triggered way back in 2015. The company started with the awareness program, and it researched, understood the problems of survivors from sexual assault, and then worked with supporters to find a solution; which would integrate all features needed to provide safety to the loved ones. The team was ready with the concept, list of features and created the wireframes to start with developing the mobile app.
The client needed an app that works as a monitoring service, which would allow people to track the location and safety status of their loved ones. If the loved one is in need of assistance, he/she can trigger an alert, where guardians would be notified via email, SMS, and app. Also, the GPS location would be sent to them, even if the victim cannot get to the phone.
Going through all the top mobile app development frameworks available in the market, the team narrowed down to Xamarin to build the app. But to develop this community-based app and get it right with all the required features, they needed a Xamarin partner. Due to proven expertise in developing robust mobile apps for various enterprises across US, UK, Canada, UAE and Australia, the client has chosen Saviant as their strategic Xamarin development partner.
