Project introduction

Over 1.5 billion people worldwide rely on AccuWeather to help them plan their lives, protect their businesses, and get more from their day. AccuWeather delivers forecasts with astonishing accuracy.

AccuWeather needed customized enterprise weather apps to serve their Fortune 500 B2B clients to align with their vision—save lives, protect property, and help people prosper.

Challenge

The move to mobile

In 2017, AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions (AES) was only accessible by browser. So AccuWeather (AW) partnered with us to build native apps for iOS and Android mobiles and tablets.

Additionally, In-field users of the Fortune 500 enterprise clients were forced to use mobile browsers to access information on their mobile devices. Unfortunately, this led to a substandard experience with data loss, configuration issues, and a control nightmare for users. Hence, AccuWeather partnered with us to build a native app experience for AES App.

Weather data meets customization in the enterprises
