Design
Background
One of world leaders in production of energy efficient glass coatings and specialized glass products needed an interactive tool to define the most optimal window solutions for certain buildings.
Tasks
1.Design and development of Guardian Glass Expert mobile applications for iOS and Android;
2. Design and development of an administrative panel for managing database content;
3. Designing, creating and completing a database;
4. Design and development of a mobile API.
The goal: to develop a mobile application displaying most optimal window solutions.
Solution
Guardian Glass Expert is a step-by-step decision-making tool to help determine the appropriate window solution for home.
The project is a native iOS and Android mobile application with smartphone and tablet adaptation. The application demonstrates the steps of choosing optimal glass solutions based on cardinal directions, appropriate level of acoustic performance, aesthetics.
The mobile application is designed to assist residential window manufacturers by providing an additional sales tool.
In addition to the mobile application, the project contains an administrative panel that allows regional administrators to manage content on the client application.
Challenges
Offline mode
The main requirement at the stage of application design was availability of the offline-mode for the application - the ability to demonstrate the optimum window solution even in the absence of Internet connection. For this purpose, we set up database updating and saving data from the server to local database on the device.
Localization
Target users are window installers and sales managers from window companies around the world, so, it's important to localize the application and make it accessible and understandable to users from different regions of the world.
Tips
For better understanding, Compass and Sound Control screens contain minimalistic transparent tips.
Compass
Compass screen allows you to use the built-in cardinal point detection function.
Sound Control
Sound Control screen shows the effect of noise absorption by IGU with various levels of noise insulation.
Database update
To keep the application data relevant, the database update function was designed. The popup message on updating the database on a device is initiated at the administrative level.
Landing Guardian Glass Expert
Landing Guardian Glass Expert mobile application guardianglassexpert.com was designed in addition to the application in mid-2016.
The inspiration was the lightness and airiness of the Spendee application landing page www.spendee.com.
Landing presents block-by-block navigation with a single block displayed at a time during scrolling.
The content on the landing page can be controlled through CMS.
