1. Enterprise Mobility
Pratham Software (PSI) has developed a workflow based mobile
application for asset management in asset intensive industries.
Developed an Enterprise mobility application for
asset management using Xamarin platform
Global IT Solutions
An ISO 9001:2015 & ISO/IEC 27001:2013

2. About the Client
The client is a leading provider of enterprise asset management solutions with over 12 +years of
experience in asset management. It holds engineering expertise leveraged by their clients operating in
asset intensive industries including mining, government, safety and utilities.
Client’s Service Offering
The client’s asset management solution is a complete solution with a combination of software, asset IDs
[which incorporate global unique serialization, barcodes, RFID and micro-dotting technologies], hardware,
services, and data from one’s existing systems, for managing any point of interest, as globally unique. It
provides ability to track assets uniquely and gives a real-time view of all assets and associated risks for
the organization.
Solution Approach & Methodology
The asset intensive industry, requires management of enormous data against an asset. To input data in a
preformatted workflow process, client has a web based solution wherein they create workflows i.e.
step-by-step data input screen for one or multiple assets. Once workflows are created (which may vary
from one input field to many or from one page to many pages), they can be run several times to create new
assets or update the existing ones. The client wanted us to develop a mobile interface for executing the
workflows. Since assets are spread across multiple geographical areas, client also wanted offline working
on assets. Once work is completed offline, the application can upload the workflows on the central servers.
Key Highlights of the Approach
The entire workflow process is dynamic without a single screen or field being fixed
The different attributes for a particular asset are dynamic and complex along with controls
The client required a customized mobile solution just as a replica of existing web application, with same UI
across different mobile operating systems
The end-client users wanted to download the assets info offline as per their requirements and sync data
when online

3. Key Challenges
Achievements
The dynamic screen of the workflow to be recreated on mobile screens, generally mobile screen are fixed
with standardized layout
Users could create their own workflows, with dynamic attributes and controls and validation
The Xamarin native had a constraint in some attributes wherein team developed independent codes for
different OS
Sync of offline and online workflow data
Complexity of asset attributes and workflow to be managed and filtered
Shared business logic used for all OS, be it iOS, android OS and windows UWP
Maintaining the same UX for all platforms
Integration of data downloaded on mobile devices and the web server
The feature requirements evolved during the development process
Adopted Xamarin platform to develop shared business logic across platform
Worked on latest Windows 10 framework for the windows phone operating system
All the functionalities of the web application were built in the mobile applications
Utilized recently launched Xamarin Test Cloud and reduced the testing efforts for the application consider-
ably
SQLite structure is adopted for process technology
The team developed own controls to cater specialized needs of application like Due Date Control, Grid
Control with add/delete feature, image/file control, asset selection control, validation controls etc.
