Zaigo's AutoPilot App Transformation for Wrap Shops

Explore how Zaigo transformed AutoPilot's mobile app, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency for wrap and sign shops.

About The Client

The client has decades of experience in the sign and wrap industry. As part of his vision to build a software exclusively for the wrap and sign shops, he sought an all-in-one mobile and web-based solution to optimize business operations, AutoPilot. The application should streamline customer management, estimate generation, invoicing, appointment scheduling, inventory tracking, and reporting—all within a single platform.

Their Reviews, Our Pride

Take a moment to explore the valuable feedback from our esteemed clients. Knowing their satisfaction brings us one step closer to achieving our goals.

Project Background

The client previously had an existing mobile app and web portal. However, the mobile app's user interface was outdated and did not meet modern UI standards, leading to usability issues. The client decided to completely redesign the mobile app, keeping the existing backend admin system and APIs intact.

Goal

The objective was to develop a cross-platform mobile app that would enable users to:

Register their business, including adding company details, tax information, labor charges, and employee management.
Manage customers and link vehicles to customer profiles for streamlined service tracking.
Generate and track estimates, invoices, and payments with automated tax calculations.
Schedule appointments with an integrated calendar.
Visualize workflow using a Kanban-style board.
Access detailed reports on revenue, sales, and performance.
Manage inventory and employees efficiently, using features such as a VIN scanner for quick vehicle identification.

Project Timeline

The project was completed within a 3-month development timeline.

Challenges

Legacy System Integration

The existing backend and APIs were incompatible with the new mobile app design. Zaigo collaborated with the external backend team to develop custom APIs for seamless integration.
UI/UX Redesign

The outdated app UI needed a complete overhaul to meet modern standards, which required balancing user expectations and workflow continuity.
Data Migration

Ensuring smooth and accurate migration of data (customers, vehicles, estimates, payments) into the new system without data loss or corruption.
Cross-Platform Compatibility

Ensuring consistent performance across both iOS and Android using Flutter required extensive testing and optimization.
Performance Optimization

Zaigo worked to ensure the app remained fast and responsive despite handling complex features like estimates, invoicing, and inventory.

Solution Delivered

Zaigo redesigned the AutoPilot mobile app with a Flutter-based frontend and a PHP Laravel backend. The app automates and optimizes operations for car shop owners.

Custom Company Registration
