Partnership Goal

We collaborated with a leading pharmaceutical company to address the need for a modern and engaging employee training solution. Our objective was to develop a mobile app to revolutionize the way pharmaceutical employees learn and stay informed.

Before

  • Classroom-based training disrupted schedules and offered limited accessibility.
  • Static content hampered knowledge retention and engagement.
  • Lack of personalized learning paths hindered skill development.

After

  • Employees access targeted training modules and personalized learning paths aligned with their specific roles.
  • Interactive features and gamified elements boost motivation and knowledge retention.
  • Bite-sized learning content enables employees to learn anytime, anywhere.

Team Formation

Team formation

To tackle the complexities of building the mobile app, we had a skilled team of 8 engineers. Each member brought their expertise and together they had a strong understanding of mobile app development, backend functionalities, and user interface design.

One main challenge they encountered was ensuring seamless data synchronization across various devices. In the pharmaceutical industry, where consistent access to up-to-date information is crucial, this was paramount. The team successfully addressed this by implementing efficient caching mechanisms, guaranteeing that employees have the latest training materials readily available, even in situations with limited internet connectivity.

Their collaborative efforts were crucial in bringing the vision of EMS Connect to life, ensuring a user-friendly and effective training platform for the pharmaceutical industry.
