Hearthside Foods

**The Challenge**

Websites for food production take many images and lots of content that have to be updated constantly. Fleet Studio needed to build a site that allowed editors an easy way to keep their information up to date.

**Fleet Studio’s Solution**

Fleet Studio built the Hearthside Foods website using Contentful, a modern headless CMS to update websites, mobile apps, or other platforms that display content. As an API-centric platform, it helped the backend get data in and out of the Contentful platform using API calls.

**What We Learned**

Fleet Studio can use Contentful, a fast and developer-friendly platform, to give editors immediate access to the content they need to update. When we use this platform to develop wearables, smartphones, or web apps, we can do everything a CMS can without security patching, maintenance windows, or performance monitoring.

Greenlight™ Environmental Monitoring System

**The Challenge**

The Emilcott Greenlight Environment Monitoring system did not have an interface that could interact remotely with their on-site devices. They needed a tool for their clients to access the real-time data collected by the monitoring system. 

**Fleet Studio’s Solution**

Fleet Studio added a monitoring interface on the web for the Greenlight Monitoring system. We built a middle-tier web services wrapper using API calls. This web interface enabled their field engineers to remotely view real-time data from the devices installed on-site. Once in place, the interface allowed them to interact, control, monitor, and turn their devices on and off remotely. They also could set alarm thresholds to notify them when an alarm went off on a device. In addition to the wrapper, we created a web portal for Emilcott’s clients to view reports from their sites in real-time.

**What We Learned**

Fleet Studio can use the Laravel framework with blade templates like what we used to build the interactive web services layer. We created the web interface with a mobile-first design in mind so Emilcott could access it on their laptops, phones, or tablets and read data and view graphs remotely on their devices. This ease of access made them able to carry out their tasks seamlessly.

BMW’s e-commerce website features over 100 different series of cars. The data for each vehicle model needed to be updated and verified against old files once a month. This process was time-consuming and tedious. BMW needed a faster system.

**Fleet Studio’s Solution**

To save time and energy, Fleet Studio built an automation tool to check for accuracy. This tool runs once a month, verifying data and creating reports of failed items that a person could easily overlook by accident. This new tool gave the site added benefits of accuracy and efficiency.

**What We Learned**

When it comes to the clients that sit on a lot of data, accuracy matters. Fleet Studio can build automation tools that guarantee on-time delivery by optimizing the verification process and avoiding any human error.

Pacific Life Technologies

**The Challenge**

Some high-risk medical patients need assistance to remember to adhere to their medication. Pacific Life Technologies wanted to create an app to remind these patients to take their medicine at a specific time and allow the patient to notify the client that they had done so.

**Fleet Studio’s Solution**

Fleet Studio built an app that patients could use to remind them to take their medications at the prescribed times. To inform the client that the patient took their medication, Fleet Studio synced the app to an IoT electronic pill bottle called the BETR-Cap. Using Laravel, we built an admin dashboard to view reports generated from data collected by the BETR-Cap. Opening the bottle triggered a notification and displayed the details of the tablet count and time of the last intake. We made sure the bottle could send notifications to the Android app using Firebase Cloud Messaging.

**What We Learned**

Fleet Studio used Bluetooth technology to integrate the electronic pill bottle with the mobile app. The technology allowed the mobile phone to access a signal from the device. We gained experience using the Laravel framework to quickly create built-in registration and login functionality in apps. We further developed this framework to implement role-based access and new administration features.

Gallo Wines

**The Challenge**

Gallo Wines wanted to display each of their wines on their website, classifying them by their features. Each feature needed a separate module that Fleet Studio had to incorporate into the site’s existing modules.

**Fleet Studio’s Solution**

**What We Learned**

Fleet Studio can use Docker to create modules incorporated as a headless CMS through Drupal 8.

Canidae

**The Challenge** 
Client required a store locator to display all their retail stores. It was built in spring and integrated using APIs with WP. Later on, the client required some modifications on the data and wanted to add a little more info about each store. But with the spring and API setup, it was not possible as we didn't had control over that since it's a compiled WAR file.

**Fleet Studio's Solution**
Created a custom store locator using PHP and WP by integrating a third party API (zipcode download) and enabled all sorts of customisation. There were some performance issues on the previous setup, this solution cleared out all issues.

**What We Learned**
Learned how Google API behaves and the feasibility in-terms of Lat/Long handling & Reverse Geo-Coding. Learned about few other APIs which do serve the purpose much more efficiently than the pioneers.
