About the project

After successfully developing the web application, our client is eager to continue their collaboration with BHSOFT to extend the system to mobile platforms. With the web application proving to be effective in managing lighting systems, the client now seeks a mobile application that will offer similar functionalities while ensuring a seamless user experience on smartphones.

The mobile application is intended for use by our client's workers, and as such, the technical requirements and standards will align with those of the web application. The system will be developed with the same performance and security standards to ensure consistency across platforms. However, unlike the web version, the mobile app will not be designed from the perspective of the system administrator (Root admin). Consequently, features related to adding or managing materials, lights, and equipment information, which are present in the web application, will not be included in the mobile version. The focus will be on ensuring efficient management and control of lighting systems for on-the-go access by workers. 

Thanks to the solid foundation built from previously developed components and seamless collaboration with the client, BHSoft encountered minimal challenges during the project. The integration of the mobile application with the existing system was smooth. However, a significant challenge was ensuring the smooth and visually consistent UI across different Android and iOS versions, as well as various device brands. The differences in operating systems and screen sizes required additional effort to optimize the user experience, ensuring the application functioned flawlessly on all supported devices.


To address the challenge of ensuring a smooth and visually consistent UI across different Android and iOS devices, we employed responsive design techniques and tested the application on a wide range of devices and OS versions. Additionally, we utilized cross-platform development tools to streamline compatibility and maintain a uniform look and feel across all devices. Regular testing and feedback from both platforms ensured that the application performed seamlessly on various screen sizes and operating system versions.




Upon receiving the client's request, including their ideas and interface designs, the BHSoft team conducted thorough research to fully understand the features and requirements before moving into the development phase. This ensured that we were aligned with the client’s vision and could deliver a solution that met their needs.

The mobile app successfully includes key features such as:

  • Manage the lighting system through control devices.
  • Receive notifications from other users and administrators.
  • Plan modifications and record failures of lighting equipment and materials.
  • Assign tasks, create requests, ask questions to system administrators, etc.
