WHO WE ARE
SiteOwl (https://siteowl.com/) is a startup that sells a B2B SaaS application that enables customers to design, install, and maintain physical security systems. Our primary customers are system integrators and corporate physical security teams. The best analogy for our product is Google Maps for physical security systems. System designers upload their real-world floor plans, then drag various types of pins representing cameras, card readers, alarms, or other devices onto the map and edit details about those devices. Technicians then use those designs to install or update the security system using our mobile apps. Offline is a primary use case for our customers that use our mobile applications while at wifi and cellular-challenged locations.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
Our existing platform is six years old and has a large surface area that uses Java for the back-end, Angular for the desktop web application, and .NET MAUI (formerly Zamarin) for the mobile apps. Also, our desktop web application and two mobile apps are each different, requiring us to implement features across three front-end applications and the backend, which is slow.
Our goal is to create a single app covering all use cases that runs everywhere. We are using web technologies everywhere to reduce the technology footprint and share code across platforms. We expect this architecture will enable our team to work as full-stack developers, decreasing the size of the application and increasing agility.
