Mobile App Development 1.Native App Development Best in class
performance, Smooth user experience, Superior access to device-
side capabilities like GPS, camera But High cost of development and
maintenance. 2.HTML5 (Web) App Development Are generalized for
multiple platforms and not installed locally but made available
over the Internet through a browser. Performance is not as smooth
as native, less secure and does not leverage every OS feature or
API 3.Hybrid App Development Best of both worlds (Native and Web
Application). Reduces mobile application cost and enables access to
device-side functionality.. Performance is not as smooth as native
The user experience (performance) is not uniform across different
OS and device models. 4.MEAP Enterprise grade solution framework
for scalable, reliable and complex mobility solutions. Provides
synchronization, data wipe, security, scalability, device
monitoring features Slide 9 Hybrid VS Native NativeHybrid ( Web
Kit)Xamarin Resources/ Cost Independent app for each OS. High Cost.
Generic App for all OS. Less Costlier as compared to native. Core
L:ibrary is common but UI layer is independent for each OS (
Native). High Cost UxFluid transition and smooth flow between
screens. The screen transitions are with glitches. Fluid transition
and smooth flow between screens. But it may be little slow compared
to pure Native App. UINative UI with predictable behavior. The
behavior differs with devices. Unpredictable behavior at times.
Native UI with predictable behavior. Device Rotation The
application adapts smoothly between portrait and landscape mode.
The application behavior between portrait and landscape mode is not
user friendly. The application adapts smoothly between portrait and
landscape mode. IDEMatured IDEMaturing IDE with

Slide 12 Approach : Hybrid/Native Survey/Shopper App User
Authentication : Application will establish secured connection with
the server using HTTPS and authenticate with the server. Offline
Mode : Application will be capable to update/add data and use the
previously fetched data even in absence of network connectivity.
Data Synchronization : When the network connectivity is resumed,
The mobile application will submit the data to the backend server
using Backend web service API. Backend server Survey Questions Sync

Slide 17 Increase productivity and effectiveness of merchandising
audit Requirement Manufacturers need increased visibility into
merchandising at a shelf level. Is merchandise displayed at correct
price? Does the display conform to planogram? Are competitors
activities impacting promotion success? While in-store visual
merchandising audits are conducted, labor costs are high and delays
in getting data. Solution The solution is on Android, Symbian &
blackberry platform With a combination of a mobile app based on
iNotify framework, coupled with native mobile camera and barcode/
QR code scanning capability, iNotify improves data collection from
the field and transfers to central IT systems faster. Business
benefits Improve effectiveness and consistency of promotional
activities Accurate merchandising audits Ensure Shelf and display
compliance Improve competitive Intelligence Slide 18 Mobile Panel
Management Requirement Enabling & managing ad-hoc surveys using
smartphones. Managing all consumers (panelist)for taking ad-hoc
surveys. Job shortlisting by his/her preference- Jobs accessibility
by area preferences e.g. within 5 miles from the residence of the
panelist Jobs meeting minimum threshold of remuneration as
preferred by the panelist Managing the entire survey right from the
notification of jobs to data collection and redemption of points
earned on survey completion. Short turn-around-time to enable quick
deployment of the solution Solution Developed a structured solution
using a combination of Web Views and Native Mobile application, XML
Web Services and Database server with Transact-SQL to provide data
in real time to the device. Along-with data availability, the
native mobile application were able to provide location details of
the mobile application using Native GPS details of the device and
thereby filtration of the data fetched from central server using
web views. Slide 19 Mobile Panel Management Features Device Push
Notification- Notifications to the panelist basis their job
preference which the panelist can chose to accept or reject Camera
Integration- to aid the data collection process and also adding
credibility to data. GPS integration-To identify and facilitate
movements of the user, which further can be used for further
analysis. Survey details: From project briefing to survey
completion. Point Redemption: Facility to redeem points earned on
survey completion by panelist. Benefits Real time data collection
and panel management. Complete control of activities right from
push notification to the redemption of survey points for panelist
With a planned roadmap of execution, Datamatics helped the client
to develop the requirement within a very short span of time. Data
collected can be used for further analysis Slide 20 Vehicle

reading and sends the encrypted data in bursts to conserve power
Back-end application generates different kinds of reports for use
for the IT support division Back-end application generates
different views that user can see based on his consumption and
manage his consumption A middleware was developed to interface
between different kinds of hand sets through adaptors and backend
system The middleware was also responsible for data synchronization
between Enterprise app and mobile unit Slide 23 Mobile Ticket
