Industry: Energy and Utilities
Technology Stack: C#.NETReact.jsMicrosoft Azure
Challenge
Skyfri is a Norwegian cleantech company specializing in the digital transformation of solar and battery asset management. Headquartered in Oslo, with offices in London and Denver, Skyfri offers end-to-end solutions that optimize the performance and efficiency of renewable energy assets. Their flagship products include Skyfri Intelligence, a comprehensive platform for real-time monitoring and management, and SolarSCADA, an integrated SCADA system designed specifically for distributed renewable assets.
In 2021, as Skyfri aimed to enhance its offerings in solar power plant management, the company identified the need for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to support its services. Two primary systems were envisioned:
- Solar Power Plant Monitoring System: Aimed at providing real-time data and analytics on solar plant performance.
- Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS): Designed to assist on-site workers by streamlining task assignments, tracking job progress, and recording maintenance activities.
Solution
Skyfri engaged LogiqApps to develop these systems from the ground up. The collaboration involved close coordination between Skyfri's team and LogiqApps' developers.
Development Process
- Backend Development: LogiqApps led the backend development using C# and .NET technologies. The team defined architectural standards and provided guidance to ensure a robust and scalable foundation.
- Frontend Development: The frontend was also developed by LogiqApps, utilizing React to deliver an intuitive and user-friendly interface across both systems.
- Collaborative Discovery Sessions: Regular collaborative sessions took place between Skyfri’s Product Owner and the LogiqApps development team. These meetings focused on defining module functionalities, analyzing competitors, and refining business requirements to ensure the solutions aligned with market needs.
Key Results
- Scalable Solutions: The systems were designed with scalability in mind, allowing for easy integration of future enhancements and features.
- Knowledge Transfer: As Skyfri expanded its internal team, LogiqApps facilitated a comprehensive handover, collaborating closely with the new team members, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in development.
- Foundation for Growth: The MVPs served as foundational platforms for Skyfri, enabling them to offer enhanced monitoring and maintenance solutions to their clients, thereby strengthening their position in the renewable energy sector.
The partnership between Skyfri and LogiqApps exemplifies how collaborative development and clear communication can lead to the creation of impactful technological solutions. By leveraging LogiqApps' expertise, Skyfri successfully launched MVPs that addressed critical needs in solar plant management, setting the stage for future innovations in the renewable energy industry.
Talented developers from LogiqApps enhanced our team's capabilities at a very critical point of product development. We appreciate smooth cooperation and hand-over. I would recommend LogiqApps to small, growing and large companies.
