Client & product

MileIQ Inc. is a US-based technology company that specializes in providing advanced mileage tracking and reporting solutions. Their flagship product, the MileIQ mobile app, that acts as mileage reimbursor, assisting entrepreneurs and small businesses in tracking miles to secure tax discounts in accordance with local laws or receive payment from third parties.

By offering precise mileage logs and simplifying the reimbursement process, their app serves as a convenient tool for independent contractors and business owners, boosting efficiency and productivity in their daily operations.

Challenges

MileIQ Inc. engaged our services to transition their legacy Objective C app to Swift, as the existing app was resource-intensive and challenging to maintain. The decision to switch to Swift was driven by its simplicity, high performance, and cost-effective maintenance capabilities. In addition, Swift’s highly reusable code facilitates effortless updates and revisions, making it an ideal choice for MileIQ, ensuring its continued success and prominence within the App Store.

Job done

Our developers skillfully transitioned the app from Objective C to Swift, incorporating the new features offered by the Swift programming language. Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive app audit, pinpointing areas for improvement, resolving potential issues, and performing thorough testing and acceptance procedures. Furthermore, we added animation effects to the tables and tabular data, enhancing the user experience by making the information more visually appealing and easily digestible.

Outcomes

Our team successfully migrated the Objective C app to Swift, significantly enhancing the app’s architecture and overall performance. By addressing the maintenance challenges and reducing the memory usage previously consumed by legacy code, our developers have optimized the app for greater efficiency.
