The client’s vision for the automotive industry’s future are vehicles that offer the latest communication capabilities and are intelligently connected to the Internet Of Things (IOT); serving as digital, automotive companions and not just as a means of transportation. They want to provide their customers with the highest possible levels of safety and comfort, by developing vehicles that can intelligently communicate and control smart appliances around their homes and offices, helping simplify their day to day activities. Towards that goal, the client is actively pursuing and expanding their Internet Of Things integration strategy.

As part of this initiative, they wanted to enhance their existing mobile app, by integrating it with all major home automation platforms like Apple’s HomeKit, Google’s Nest and Samsung’s SmartThings platform.

Since the client’s in house innovation teams did not have any expertise or experience working with Samsung’s SmartThings platform, the company was looking for a reliable mobility partner to help them develop this integration. Having heard great things about Folio3’s expertise in the mobility space, the client decided to partner with Folio3 for this project. The company wanted the solution to be developed fairly quickly, so they could begin its implementation with their mobile app as soon as possible.
