Need

In order to optimize their In-Flight management and control, Servair wanted to start a paper-free approach, based on touch screen tablet and web browser.
The goal was to improve quality control using digitalized procedures. As requested by Servair, we brought our expertise to carry out the solution.

Solution

A multi-platform application needs an hybrid development so we advised to built it using web technologies (HTML5 / CSS3 / Javascript) and integrate this « web app » to a native application thanks to WebWiew component.
The final result is a classic application that distributes, sets up and runs like any other application, while running on a browser.
To make the most of this application implementation in this approach, we have based its development on the Open Source PhoneGap framework.

Communication between tablet application and back office was implemented using Web Services REST (JSON) on the HTTP transport protocol.
