Tracker Mobile App Development

Mobile app to help

stolen vehicle 

recovery

As the UK's leading stolen vehicle recovery specialist with over 30 years of experience, Tracker offers an account-based service that lets members track their vehicles, record trips, perform security checks, and report thefts. Most customers access these features through a mobile app. But, with the market becoming increasingly competitive, Tracker needed to maintain its leading position by improving the app's user experience and introducing innovative new features.

The Problem

Tracker partnered with Si digital to enhance their Tracker Touch mobile app. We developed the app in React Native to ensure compatibility with both Android and iOS. Using TypeScript, we efficiently integrated data from Tracker's backend REST APIs.The mapping features include vehicle geofencing, crime hotspot visualisation, and movement tracking, all implemented using native Apple and Android maps.For emergency situations, we integrated direct in-app calling to Tracker's support team.

The Solution

The resulting app is clean and easy to navigate, giving drivers peace of mind with vehicle security at their fingertips. Tracker calls the Touch app "the new secret weapon in vehicle tracking technology"—and we couldn't agree more. The app has already reached over 5,000 downloads on the Google Play store alone.We continue to work with Tracker on new features and developments. You can find out more about the Touch app on Tracker's website.

A bespoke platform to allow the public to submit toy invention ideas.

Have you ever dreamed of creating the next big toy or game? Hasbro wanted to make that dream possible, so they asked us to create a platform where anyone with a great idea could share their toy and game inventions directly with Hasbro. Unlike other major toy companies that typically only work with professional inventors, Hasbro wanted to open their doors to everyone with creativity and imagination.We were given complete creative freedom to shape everything from the direction and branding to the visual design of the platform. We created a inspiring and welcoming space that would inspire inventors from all walks of life to share their toy ideas with Hasbro.

Hasbro’s new platform needed to integrate with the existing professional inventors platform we’d built for them.

To make things simple and streamlined, we wanted to create one central place where Hasbro could review all their invention submissions—whether they came from amateurs or professionals. We’d already created a special platform for professional inventors, so we simply expanded it to welcome amateur submissions too. When someone submits their invention idea, it goes through to an external inventor management platform for review. If their idea shows promise, it gets added right alongside submissions from professional inventors, giving everyone a fair chance to share their creativity with Hasbro.

Bespoke Integrations

Established in 1923, Hasbro are one of the worlds largest children’s toy manufacturers, with brands such as Monopoly, Dungeons & Dragons and Peppa Pig part of their vast portfolio.We’re been working with Hasbro for over a decade, and we continue to work with them to allow inventors and creators across the globe to submit their creations to Hasbro, allowing their portfolio of games to continue to grow.

Thanks to the flexibility of Payload, we can directly integrate your SaaS systems with your new website. Using our Si Middleware, we can pull through your Salesforce product data or your payment system to automate your ordering, saving you countless hours of admin.

Our websites are built to perform. Quick page load speeds, built-in SEO tools, and modern coding practices mean your website is quick and easy to navigate for both you and your users.

When we build your website, we use the very latest technologies and coding standards to ensure our code is reliable and long-lasting. This reduces the chances of your website needing to be rebuilt anytime soon, so you know your new website is a long-term investment.

Payload websites are self-hosted, so you have complete oversight and control over any sensitive user data your website contains and accesses. So, you won’t have to worry about keeping on top of data security, giving you more time to focus on business growth.

Setting the foundation for a future-proofed digital presence for Harwin.

We worked closely with Harwin to tackle the key challenges they were facing with their website. They wanted to refresh their brand's online presence, make their site more secure, and deal with the technical issues that had built up over time. Through our consultative approach, we mapped out exactly what Harwin needed - a website that's easier to use, simplified backend processes, and a modern platform that would help them grow.We developed a streamlined solution that brings together <a href="https://sidigital.co/services/integrate/salesforce">Salesforce</a>, <a href="https://sidigital.co/services/integrate/asset-management-software">Bynder</a>, and Payload CMS, all working seamlessly with a Next.js frontend to give users a great experience. The results have been outstanding, with the pages now loading 90% faster, so visitors can find what they need quickly and easily.

Harwin’s website was rebuilt from the ground up, and our bespoke solution introduced advanced <a href="https://sidigital.co/services/integrate">custom integrations</a> to allow for efficient product data handling and future scalability.

The website’s architecture was key to its success. We built bespoke middleware that syncs the website with Harwin’s product data stored in Salesforce. Our custom Representational State Transfer (REST) API serves data efficiently to the website frontend, so when Harwin updates the data of any of their 4000+ products, the website frontend can display the changes almost instantly. Not only does this mean the data is accurate, we also index the data in Elastic Search for faster filtering and searching. All this has dramatically streamlined Harwin’s internal product management processes. For their customers, this means they have access to up-to-date product information delivered quickly through the website.Our integrations don’t stop with Salesforce though. We’ve also worked with Harwin to integrate Bynder to dynamically pull through product images, downloads, and videos, SnapMagic to display CAD images for users, and TrustedParts to allow users to check stock availability and pricing at third-party Harwin distributors.

Harwin’s new website is built using Payload, a modern, headless CMS.

Building a site of this scale in Payload has come with countless benefits. From user-facing benefits like rapid page load speeds and editorial tools to make content shine, to client-facing benefits like the built-in SEO tools and clear and simple backend user interface, Payload has proven to be an excellent choice for Harwin and us. If you want to learn more about Payload, <a href="https://sidigital.co/lab-notes/why-weve-swapped-wordpress-for-payload">read our Lab Note about the benefits</a>.

Built in Payload

Since 1952, Harwin has been an industry leader in electrical connectors used in space ships, airplanes, and electric vehicles, to name a few. We’ve established a relationship with Harwin over the last few years to become their digital partner, pushing their digital presence to new levels and enabling their business to grow through a powerful, fully integrated website.We continue to work with Harwin to push and develop their Salesforce website integration, always looking for growth opportunities and areas of improvement.

If your business has <a href="https://www.sidigital.co/services/integrate">SaaS systems you want to integrate</a> into your new app, we can work with you to make that happen. Using our Si Middleware, we can integrate your Salesforce, internal system, or payment systems directly into your app, saving you from admin and data headaches.

Our app development team builds our apps using React Native, so they work across iOS and Android. Our hybrid approach provides great flexibility and means there’s only one codebase to maintain, so there’s less ongoing maintenance, so you can focus your efforts on one app, not two.

From bespoke Payload websites to custom software to mobile apps, we’ve got 20+ years of development experience behind us.
