How a Logistics Company Modernized Safety App Using React Native & Salesforce
Our client, a prominent player in the logistics and supply chain sector, offers advanced solutions for equipment fleet management and workplace safety. They relied on a mobile application for field inspections and safety checklists, but it was built on an outdated React Native version. Over time, the app became unstable, hard to maintain, and prone to failures. This limited the team’s ability to scale operations and deploy new features efficiently.
The client’s mobile app was built using an old version of React Native (v0.62), which caused several problems:
- The app kept crashing on newer mobile operating systems.
- It used outdated libraries that were no longer supported.
- The user interface looked broken or inconsistent on different devices.
- Developers found it hard to fix bugs or add new features because of technical debt.
- It didn’t work well with newer versions of Salesforce and the Realm database.
To address the app’s growing instability and technical debt, we carried out a complete modernization of their safety app. Here are the solutions we offered:
- Modern Tech Stack Upgrade: Upgraded the app to the latest React Native version for better stability, security, and long-term support.
- Library & Dependency Refresh: Replaced deprecated libraries and updated all third-party dependencies to ensure compatibility and maintainability.
- Crash & Bug Fixes: Resolved major runtime issues and improved app performance across iOS and Android platforms.
- Consistent Cross-Device UI: Fixed broken layouts and implemented a responsive design for a smooth user experience on all screen sizes.
- Robust Backend Compatibility: Refactored integrations with Salesforce and Realm to ensure seamless data syncing and performance.
- Enhanced App Performance: Significantly improved load times and responsiveness across both Android and iOS platforms.
- Stability Achieved: Reduced app crash rate to near zero, which resulted in a more reliable experience for end users.
- Accelerated Development: Enabled quicker iteration cycles, allowing the client to roll out new features and updates faster.
- Superior User Experience: Delivered a sleek, stable, and modern interface that boosts usability and user satisfaction.
By modernizing the legacy mobile app, we helped the client overcome critical stability, performance, and scalability challenges. The upgraded solution now offers a reliable foundation for future enhancements, seamless integrations, and a significantly improved user experience. With a robust tech stack and streamlined codebase, the app is well-positioned to support the client’s evolving operational and safety needs.
