Develop a run-time intelligence tool that provides usage analytics about mobile and desktop software products and helps to make smarter business decisions.

What ELEKS Did: 

Under a close relationship with MagneticOne (MagneticOne.com) ELEKS developed the software solution called Software Statistics Service (SSS) that they in turn offer as a service to software authors and owners that allows them to obtain essential software usage data on their mobile and desktop applications.  Their statistics offering provides detailed reporting on how a software product is actually being used in the field, how many times the product is run, the number of downloads, tracks user paths within the applications, tracks versions of software actually used, obtains geographic location data, view screen resolution, and much, much more.  By using the data obtained from real users, developers can spot key trends on how your software is actually being used in the real world and see what’s working and what’s not.  The provided statistics can be essential for helping to guide future product development.

ELEKS made the code for each software application platform compact and highly efficient, while being easy to use for install and maintain.  With a few lines of code, the service natively supports mobile apps made for Apple iOS, Google Android and Windows Phone 7 smartphone and tablet devices.  For desktop applications, the service supports Windows, Mac OS X and applications based on .NET, C++, Java, Delphi and Microsoft Silverlight.

Data is collected regardless of Internet connection.  When an Internet connection is found, the statistical data is sent in the form of XML statistics to a secure server on the Cloud where the data is then collected and tabulated for analysis and displayed in simply-to-understand reports.  It is also possible to manage what statistic information is tracked for each device.

Software developers can access statistics from anywhere on the planet with access to the Internet.  Source code is also available for customers of certain plans.

Create an “Android Delivery Confirmation” application dedicated to planning and controlling the delivery process of medical equipment

What ELEKS Did: 

ELEKS developed an Android-based “Delivery Tracking System” application dedicated to planning and controlling the delivery process of medical equipment to insured people.

Each of the customer's employees (couriers) is equipped with android tablets where the developed application is installed and resides.  The application communicates with the dedicated server via SOAP-based protocol.  Delivery orders are retrieved from the server and stored in the local SQLite database (on device) to provide the possibility to form offline orders by the deliverer. The performed orders state could be synchronized later with server when network is available.

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
• Development of Handwritten (on-the-screen) signature functionality
