Business Need
Sudenga wanted an updated version of their current system to allow them to take advantage of the internet of things. They also wanted to create the app quickly (2-3 Months) to demonstrate at trade shows after the new year.
Solution
We designed an app that allowed their clients to create feed formulas, manage their mill(s), ingredients, and livestock. The application also monitored the creation of the feed batches. Mendix was a good choice for this company because of its ability to take advantage of the internet of things and its fast development capability. Also, they wanted one of their employees to learn to develop with Mendix so he could manage the application after the project was completed.
Results
We created an app that met all their needs. It was about 90% done before we ran out of hours but the in-house developer had learned enough to complete the project. The scope did expand over time but the core needs were met. The impact was significant. They were given an updated look and feel with the app and with the IoT implemented they had a platform that they could build reports from and keep track of feed production in real-time.
