Background
NorthStar is a mobile workforce optimization platform. A dispatcher can upload work orders for route drivers, and then sequence the stops optimally for traffic, service windows and other factors. The dispatcher can view progress in real time throughout the day, and access reports and analytics afterwards. The driver uses a native mobile app to manage their stops and tasks, and can perform surveys, which allow for actions like scanning bar codes, taking pictures, getting signatures and providing other input.

Web + Mobile + Logistics
Trailhead built the web front end, along with a back end service that uses a combination of routing and sequencing APIs paired with custom algorithms to plan and analyze routes. The solution is multi-tenant and hosted in the cloud, with tenants paying a monthly subscription fee per route. Trailhead also built a cross platform mobile app, and a completely dynamic and flexible survey feature, which allows the app to record whatever data the tenant needs to collect, including biometrics, GPS location, signature, photos, videos, and text or voice input.

Background
JDi Data has built several insurance related products, and found a recurring need to configure actions that happen when various events occur, for instance, sending emails of faxes, updating database records, or FTPing files. They wished to build a product, FlowBot, that would be a configurable workflow engine that could serve all these needs and be sold as a standalone, multi-tenant cloud service.

FlowBot
Trailhead built the front end web application that allows management of FlowBot tenants and users, as well as a custom workflow design surface to allow events to be connected to tasks and actions. Trailhead also did the UX work, an API that the web app uses, and assisted with porting existing workflow engine code to .NET Core. The API runs in a Docker Container on Linux, and can dynamically operate with either SQL Server or MySQL databases.

Cross-Platform Tablet App
Trailhead architected and developed the cross-platform tablet app using Xamarin.Forms which allowed for significant code sharing between the iOS, Android, and Windows apps.

Background
Avail Technologies builds software and hardware systems for every aspect of public transit. Their driver interface application, the Mobile Data Terminal, ran on legacy platforms that were becoming difficult to update and maintain. Avail wanted to upgrade the MDT application to the latest technology and leverage the platform flexibility that .NET Core and Angular offer.

Touchscreen Web App
Trailhead worked closely with Avail product managers and engineers to design and develop a modern touch interface web application that closely resembles the legacy application from the user’s perspective, but is built using the latest technologies including .NET Core and Angular. The new application architecture is built with future capabilities in mind and alleviates many of the constraints and complexities of the legacy system.

Jewelers Mutual Insurance wanted to bring to market an interactive holographic kiosk that would draw potential customers into retail jewelry stores and allow them to view custom jewelry in an exciting new way. With Holojem, kiosk users can search and interact with 3D models of custom jewelry and share them with friends.

Kiosk + Web + Azure Cloud
Trailhead architected and developed the full software stack to enable a scalable and distributed network of Windows 10 touchscreen kiosks backed by content delivery and web administration on Microsoft Azure. Jewelers are able to manage their jewelry catalog via a secure web application and new content is immediately distributed to their cloud-connected kiosks. Users can view, save, and share jewelry items through a responsive web application.
