Business Matters

The client was able to meet SLAs, maintain up data hygiene, and improve operational efficiency. This brought about a 15% reduction in the cost of operations.

  • Support the client through different milestones like investor demos, prototype 
development, and field tests

sustained software delivery

The Problem

The client was facing opportunity costs from delays and needed to scale a software engineering team quickly.

  • Software development needs were complex because the client’s
  • custom IoT hardware was being developed in parallel and required low-level code to support the software goals
  • Product development teams perform best when co-located. Having an end-to-end solution built by a co-located team was essential for the success of the product.

The Trantor team supported the project by delivering the following software solutions:

  • Kernel-level code to support the custom IoT platform based on Android AOSP
  • Applications that run on the custom flavor of Android and support the low-level functions
