How Aviron Software Became Integral to Facilitron’s Mobile App Development Success
About Facilitron
Facilitron serves thousands of schools and public facilities by streamlining maintenance, rental and facility scheduling in one place. Facilitron’s innovative and effective approach to facility management and customer support helps districts save money, increase revenue and improve efficiencies and resource allocation.
The Challenges
Facilitron needed a growth partner to scale key areas of their development and processes as their customer base rapidly grew. To meet their growing demands and maintain reliability of their existing platform, Aviron Software was brought in as a key partner to drive efficiency and innovation for future development. Specifically, Aviron Software’s expertise with backup/recovery strategies, software deployment methods, bug and feature releases, Microsoft ASP.NET tech stack, Azure, and React Native mobile development strengthened Facilitron’s platform and delivery for their customers.
The Solutions
Since 2019, Aviron Software has leveraged its effective partnership model to align with Facilitron’s core values and objectives. This collaboration ensures all solutions are thoughtfully crafted to delight customers, improve internal processes, and reduce costs across Facilitron’s technology and development infrastructure.
The following solutions were implemented as an outcome of the partnership:
- Core development methodology: Increased productivity through developer-centric assistance, feature additions, bug fixes, and expertise in the Microsoft ASP.NET tech stack.
- Infrastructure Strength: Enhanced development and technology infrastructure, including backup/recovery strategies, deployment methods, Microsoft ASP.NET expertise, and React Native mobile development.
- Mobile App Development: Developed Works Mobile for work order management and Facilitron FIT for detailed inspections, enhancing accessibility, usability, and integration into the larger ecosystem.
- Project Management Fundamentals: Migrated Facilitron to JIRA and Kanban-style sprint methodology, creating a solid foundation for efficiency, communication, and transparency across all levels.
- Efficiency and cost reduction: Reduced development costs and increased operational efficiency by consistently managing internal developers and accelerated the product roadmap to address growing customer needs for functionality and reports
Our two mobile apps were completely done by Aviron and they nailed them. One is a mobile version of the work order system, and the other is a more detailed inspection tool. Aviron manages our entire mobile project.
The Impact and Outcomes
Aviron Software seamlessly integrated into the Facilitron technology team, maintaining the high standards expected by Facilitron’s clients and stakeholders. Since 2019, Aviron’s impactful contributions include developing two mobile apps (Works Mobile and Facilitron Fit), integrating role-based functionality to enhance app security, deploying automated testing to ensure smooth production deployments, implementing JIRA for enhanced feature tracking, adopting the Kanban-sprint methodology, enhancing the code release process with strict secret management, and scaling Facilitron’s infrastructure to Azure, better aligning with their Microsoft ecosystem while also providing increased scalability, performance, and security.
Aviron Software significantly contributes to maintaining the high standards expected by our clients and stakeholders. Aviron Software's role in supporting and enhancing these applications has been pivotal in ensuring their continued success and reliability.
