AuthenticateIS Mobile App

Project Overview

AuthenticateIS develops collaborative software for UK supermarkets, food service operators, and manufacturers to gain supply chain insights and compliance strategies. Their core offering is a web-based platform accessed through browsers.

The Challenge

Customers needed field access to the platform but carrying laptops proved impractical. Poor internet connectivity hindered auditors attempting real-time assessments, note-taking, and photo capture in the field. Simultaneously, the core development team was stretched thin expanding web platform features.

The Solution

McKenna Consultants co-sourced development of a native iPad application using Swift programming language, enabling customers to complete audits while offline. The app integrates with the existing web API infrastructure.

Delivery Approach

Development occurred at McKenna's Harrogate office with AuthenticateIS developers embedded within the team. This approach enabled rapid application development while transferring technical knowledge to AuthenticateIS staff for independent future feature development. The product owner maintained daily involvement in strategic decisions.

Results

The native application shipped ahead of schedule and under budget. The app expanded platform capabilities and delivered customer satisfaction, elevating the AuthenticateIS platform to new functionality levels.
