State-of-the-art technology and efficient backend control for a sophisticated mobile application
Although the application had a version optimized for mobile viewing, it was unable to provide an adequate user experience. Despite the fact that the web version was optimized for mobile viewing, it became clear that it could not provide the same intuitive and efficient user experience that a dedicated mobile application offers. There was a clear need for a solution that would offer an optimal experience for mobile and tablet users in line with new technological trends.
The client is one of the world's best-known and longest-established music publishers, representing numerous artists and albums. In addition to its global influence, it is also renowned for its innovative technological solutions and rapid adaptation to market trends. Their dynamic, multifaceted approach to the music industry ensures that they are always at the forefront, whether it's the latest digital platforms, marketing strategies, or artistic collaborations. One of the client's key application projects helps manage the release of music tracks worldwide. The explosive growth of mobile technology and the proliferation of smartphones and tablets have presented this application with a serious challenge.
However, the challenge was not only in developing the mobile application. It was important to ensure that the new application would integrate seamlessly with the existing backend system. Given that the backend system already had all the necessary business logic, the challenge was to create a thin, efficient, and fast client.
The solution we developed was a sophisticated mobile application that provided users with all the functionality of the web-based system, but with mobile-optimized views. The solution features the simplified display typical of mobile applications and familiar user interface elements. We designed the application to be installable on both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring maximum reach and user base.
We had to choose from among modern technologies and frameworks one that would meet not only current but also future needs. To this end, we opted for the Flutter framework, which not only offers the advantages of cross-platform development but also provides a fast, efficient, and sophisticated user experience.
When we talk about software development, the technological background and functionality of the solution are just as important as the user experience itself. The mobile app developed by Gloster-P92 ITS Kft. is not just another app on the market. It is much more than that: it is a revolutionary technical solution that lies in the communication between the backend and the frontend.
In most applications, communication between the server and the client uses standard protocols. However, our application uses a custom, uniquely designed binary protocol over a WebSocket connection. This solution ensures exceptional speed and efficiency, minimizing data transmission delays and improving system performance. The mobile app’s design is based on the “thin client” principle. This means that complex business logic and validation rules run on the backend system, while the app is responsible only for the user interface.
Every interaction in the app—whether it’s pressing a button or filling out a data entry field—is sent directly to the backend system, which returns a response based on the appropriate business logic, thereby controlling the mobile app.
This architecture allows complex and frequently changing business logic to be implemented only once, on the backend, thereby minimizing the number of potential errors and reducing development time. In the initial approach, the configuration of UI elements also came from the backend. However, this has evolved over time, allowing us to define within the application which fields should appear on which screens.
The system developed by Gloster-P92 ITS Kft. uniquely combines state-of-the-art technology and efficient backend control, ensuring that your mobile presence can be maintained without any changes to your business logic.
The mobile app solution developed by Gloster-P92 ITS Kft. has been a great success, so the client is planning to port other web and desktop applications to mobile devices using Flutter technology. This new project offers a unique opportunity for Gloster-P92 ITS Kft., as the company has been given more creative freedom in terms of user interface design, allowing it to create more innovative solutions and designs. The challenge now is to optimize all of the applications’ features for use on mobile and tablet devices, thereby enhancing the user experience.
The future of the project looks promising, and Gloster-P92 ITS Kft. continuously strives to provide the best products and services to its customers by applying the latest technologies and solutions.
