Custom Software Development & Integration to
Power IoT Enabled Pet Feeder
Quick Summary: The client, an owner of an IoT-enabled pet feeder, wished to build a mobile
application that empowered them to manage the pet feeder by counting it to their smart mobile
phones.
An application that enabled the users to easily manage the feeding schedule and quantity
through their smart devices while allowing them to view their pet feeding in real-time.
Client Requirements: The team creating the backend software was working remotely and had no access to the physical product or its inbuilt software integrations. The team
had tro rely on the inputs shared by the client for creating the program and were not able to test
their codes in real-time.
Case Study Challenges: The client realized that some of the biggest apprehensions for baby
boomers and seniors in changing their shopping methods were product quality. They preferred
in-person grocery shopping because they could evaluate the quality of each item before buying
them. Besides this, they were also skeptical of online payments and preferred card or cash
payments to be made at a physical store.
Our Solution
Despite having zero access to the actual pet feeder, the team developing the software for the
IoT device created robust backend integration to enable seamless operations. The team used
Azure services to set up an RTMP server enabling real-time video streaming of the pet activity
around the feeder. The solution comprised of a user mobile application, an admin panel, and
backend integration with a pet feeder.
Impacts and benefits from our solution
The Flipware Tech Team team delivered a cloud-enablesd solution that is highly flexible and scalable to meet the current
and future needs of the application.
Quick TAT – The entire project was built and delivered from the ground up within 8 months.
