When the courier delivers ordered equipment from the company, the receiving party “signs” the order on android devices (drawing his or her signature on touch-screen). This signature is then processed as an image, attached to order, and later a pdf document is generated (with client’s signature as image) on android device. Furthermore, this generated pdf document is then transmitted to server-side (via SOAP) and system changes the order status to “Delivered”.
Works performed by ELEKS:
- Client application design creation
- Application logic and requirements analysis
- All development works
- Implementation of data exchanging with server side via SOAP protocol
- Application Database development

Industry: Healthcare
Service: Commercial Product Development
Technology: Java, HTML5
Business Challenge:
To create a complete patient assessment online system to assist inpatient rehabilitation facilities in their compliance with CMS' regulations under the IRF-PPS, based on the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument.
What ELEKS Did:
ELEKS was involved into development of information system for the collection of Medicare-mandated patient assessments and providing real-time analysis of both patient and facility indicators, which provides continuous quality monitoring and improvement. Patient assessments can be stored locally (on device) when network is unavailable. Later when a network connection is available, collected data is synchronized with a server-side application.
The customer originally requested that ELEKS create mobile applications specific for each mobile platform (Android, iOS, etc.). ELEKS offered an alternative solution of creating a single an HTML5 cross-platform application that the customer’s management team felt was very acceptable. This approach not only saved them a considerable amount of money, it significantly reduced the amount of it took to develop, test and bring the product to market, not to mention it was far easier to maintain and could scale much more easily in the future.
