Foresight Mobile

APP DEVELOPMENT - BACKEND ARCHITECTURE - CLOUD INFRASTRUCTUREIf buying jeans can be problematic, imagine selling items from a huge clothing range to a variety of retailers - at different volumes and price points. Which is why Foresight were approached by Levi Strauss and Co. - the world’s biggest denim brand -  who asked us to create a Digital B2B Showroom for them. Rather than a retailer having to send their buyer into a Levi’s warehouse and have stock selected for them to purchase - the traditional method -  a Levi’s sales rep could visit buyers with an iPad based Digital Showroom instead.Let’s make it simpleThe Digital Showroom app is a native iOS app, which uses SwiftUI for the front-end and Realm to handle the data and queries. Items can be selected by a number of variables - with clothing type, colour, seasonality, forthcoming availability being just some of the examples. Prices can be tailored to reflect differing price agreements with individual retailers. So, no more trips to a warehouse to have stock picked and inspected, everything immediately available and priced - much more efficient.

SDK DEVELOPMENT - NEW MARKETSSwrve’s mobile marketing and engagement technology has been market leader for over 10 years, but Swrve were unable to target new customers developing against more modern platforms.Foresight were engaged to migrate their native iOS and Android SDKs over to React Native, allowing Swrve to access new markets and developers.Foresight produced, documented and support the Swrve React Native SDK, which has been a great success for the customer so far.SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KITWhat’s a Software Development Kit (SDK) ?Simply put, an SDK is a selection of tools, libraries, documents, code samples and “how to” guides which make it easy for a developer to connect their systems up to your company’s software - in this case, Table. (SDK’s differ from API’s - “Application programming interfaces” - in being much wider in scope and complexity.) Fundamentally, for any PaaS / SaaS provider the SDK allows them to ease the process for new customer to integrate their technology on new platforms.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve recently completed a Technical Showcase App and Android SDK for Vaxtor, a leading light in the field of automatic number plate recognition systems (ANPR).Vaxtor approached us to assist them with porting their on-camera software to Android and opening up the growing mobile ANPR market. They wanted an app to demonstrate the impressive technology to new customers as well as an SDK that could be integrated into existing apps to provide ANPR capabilities. We were quite astonished by the demos they had, showing number plates being recognized in milliseconds at simulated closing speeds of over 200 mph!The high-performance app is offered free to potential customers to allow them to see the ANPR technology in action. The SDK is currently in use by police forces, and parking providers, and we hope for more customers to join in the future.
