Identified Challenges in IoT Data Collection and User Engagement for Cycling Power Meters

The client faces difficulties in providing seamless, reliable, and user-friendly mobile applications for sensor data collection, calibration, and firmware updates of cycling power meters. Existing solutions lack cross-platform compatibility and scalable architecture to support growing device sales and subscription-based features, ultimately impacting user satisfaction and market expansion.

About the Client

A mid-sized technology company specializing in developing IoT devices and companion software solutions for sports and fitness enthusiasts, aiming to enhance user experience and device data management across multiple platforms.

Goals for Developing Multi-Platform IoT Power Metering Applications

  • Create robust, user-friendly mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms to facilitate sensor recognition, data collection, calibration, and firmware updates.
  • Implement subscription management features allowing users to access advanced functionalities through secure in-app subscriptions.
  • Enhance app design for better user experience tailored to different customer segments, including professional cyclists and casual users.
  • Develop a modular architecture that reuses core functionalities across platforms, ensuring maintainability and scalability.
  • Achieve significant sales growth of the power sensor devices through improved app functionality and performance.

Core Functionalities and Features for Power Meter Mobile Applications

  • Sensor Recognition Module: Detect and connect to Bluetooth-enabled power sensors.
  • Data Collection and Interpretation: Receive data from strain gauges and process in real-time.
  • Local Data Storage: Store collected data in proprietary formats for analysis.
  • Data Synchronization: Upload data to cloud servers for analysis, visualization, and reporting.
  • Sensor Calibration Interface: Support calibration procedures directly within the app.
  • Firmware and Bootloader Updates: Enable firmware upgrade and maintenance via app.
  • User Registration and Subscription Management: Allow user account creation and in-app subscription activation to unlock features.
  • Custom Customer App Versions: Develop variants with tailored UI and functionalities for different market segments.
  • Beta Testing Integration: Include mechanisms for user feedback and firmware testing.

Preferred Technologies and Architecture for Cross-Platform Development

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) services for sensor recognition and data transfer
Shared core libraries for code reuse across Android and iOS platforms
Mobile frameworks supporting cross-platform development (e.g., Flutter, React Native, or native development with shared modules)
Cloud backend services for data storage, synchronization, and report generation
Auth0/Lock for authentication, with integrated subscription management
Crashlytics for app stability monitoring
Google Play Services for Android-specific functionalities
AFNetWorking or equivalent network libraries for data transfer

External Systems and Services for Data and User Management

  • Bluetooth services for sensor connectivity
  • Cloud server APIs for data synchronization and report generation
  • Authentication services for user registration and secure access
  • Subscription management system integrated with in-app purchase functionalities
  • Firmware update servers for remote sensor updates

Non-Functional Requirements Ensuring Reliability and Performance

  • High reliability in sensor recognition and data transfer with minimal latency
  • Scalability to support increasing user base and sensor devices
  • Security of user data and subscription transactions
  • Offline capabilities with local data storage until synchronization
  • Cross-platform consistency in user experience and functionalities

Expected Business Impact and Outcomes of the New Application Suite

The development of integrated, cross-platform power metering applications is projected to significantly increase sensor sales and market penetration. Enhanced app features and stability will improve user satisfaction, driving higher subscription uptake and enabling the client to launch multiple product lines under its brand. The scalable architecture will support future feature expansions and user growth, contributing to sustained revenue growth and a strengthened industry position.
