Enhanced Room Utilization Application

Solution

• Zoreza Global created a solution that pulls sensor data via Java and runs it through an analytics engine, displaying interactive visuals on an intuitive dashboard (developed using AngularJS and Node.js), which can be viewed anywhere – searching by timeframe, room location, room amenities and other attributes
• Incorporated a backend via Azure to collect data onto the cloud
• Created regular developer workflows with Scrum ideology by setting up a Scrum team and advising the client on how to operate
• Opened a DevOps pipeline to speed up software development and testing process

Result

• Created an agile development process, increasing team velocity from 8 points to 55 points per sprint, reducing build times from days to hours
• The application increases satisfaction of the client’s customers, helping facilities managers determine if they can buy more furniture and what types
