The Challenge
After studying and working on several projects.This project started to explore and experiment with the ins and outs of working with a client. This led to an idea of developing an application that provides a platform to Nokia employees for reserving equipment and rooms in an automated fashion. The idea was pitched to our team by a Nokia representative.
An application that helps employees optimise their time by automating the tools and rooms reservation process in a seamless way.
The need & Opportunity
- Designed the UI of the app using Figma. - Developed the app for native Android using Kotlin and the backend using MongoDB, ExpressJS, Node.js in less than five weeks. - Developed the app using several technologies such as Jetpack components(Navigation, LiveDate), Bcrypt, Coroutines, Retrofit and Koin to name a few. - Followed the accessibility practices to make the app more accessible for the wider range of user groups.
- Worked on the get equipments feature. - Worked on the MongoDB queries to filter the data from the database. - Created the user authentication and reservation feature in the API. - Deployed the API on Heroku.
Outcome & impact
- Nokia employees spend less time organizing and spend more time on being productive. - Employees are more responsible about the equipment they use since the reservation history can be seen. - The reservation system does not limit your ability to book your spot from home which makes your workday more organized.
