Creating a bespoke event application

Software technology firm Hawkrose provides a wide range of consultancy services for both the public and private sectors. The company’s services cover financial analysis, legal, strategy and sustainability issues.

Stunning design

Recently, SD Studios worked with Hawkrose to design three bespoke mobile applications built for the company’s exclusive gamification Action Learning Output events. These applications, provided for the Navy ALO, Marines ALO, and Automation ALO events, required both Apple and Google Play store graphics, being available across both iOS and Android operating systems.

Strategic development

Each ALO application was developed to allow delegates to log in, create a profile and read the event agenda, as well as find out how to get to the venue, how to navigate the venue on arrival, and participate in real-time event voting in collaboration with other delegates.

To ensure goals were met during the development process, SD Studios built a delivery plan with engineering milestones and structured product reviews, co-ordinating testing and releases to fix bugs.

Successful delivery

Our digital team executed the build and tested the app for Hawkrose, allowing delegates to use the applications before, during and after the ALO events. Collaborative testing was carried out through Testflight to ensure apps were maintained and constantly improved as part of an ongoing partnership with the client.
