BUILDING A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
THAT INCREASES CRANE PRODUCTIVITY BY 20%
Starting in 2020, MobiDev took on the complete design and development of 1Guava, a cloud-based web and mobile platform for construction project management. After the successful launch of the first version, the 1Guava founders continued working with our team, entrusting us with ongoing upgrades and enhancements. Since then, the application has consistently expanded its user base, enabling customers to increase crane productivity by over 20%.

What the client says
Working with Mobidev was truly a fantastic experience. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the team’s support and reliability. They were very responsive to our needs, and their proactive approach made it easier to integrate solutions and ideas efficiently based on our customers feedback. Our collaboration was smooth, and we felt truly supported throughout the process.
What stood out the most was the team’s willingness to work outside normal working hours when it was needed in order to response to an urgent issue and the effort they made to understand our goals and adapt the solution accordingly. The technical expertise and timely support have made a significant impact on the success of our project.
We’ve seen steady growth in the 1Guava user base, and the system has allowed construction companies to streamline operations and boost crane productivity on site.
I can’t recommend Mobidev enough, we are looking forward to continuing our successful partnership.
With strict timelines and a clear vision for an application tailored to the needs of construction professionals, the founders of 1Guava engaged MobiDev to fully cover the design and development processes from the ground up. In just four months, the 1Guava application successfully entered the market. Since its launch, data-driven insights of 1Guava have enabled customers to increase crane productivity by over 20%, optimizing their operations.
Our ongoing collaboration continues to focus on enhancing the app with new functionality, making 1Guava an even more efficient and convenient tool for construction professionals.
The Story Behind
Back in 2020, a team of experienced builders and engineers who laid the foundation of 1Guava, were looking for a software development company to enhance their product vision. Their goal was to create a first-of-its-kind solution for allocating and tracking plant utilization. With the mission to simplify construction equipment management for crane owners and operators alike, 1Guava engaged MobiDev to cover the design and development of the mobile and web platform.
Industry Challenges
1Guava addresses key challenges in construction by tackling issues such as underperforming crane fleets, inefficient team coordination, lack of real-time data accessibility, and reduction of paper documentation. The platform unifies lifting teams on busy projects, provides on-demand reporting to ensure critical-path tasks are completed promptly, and streamlines operations management with precise lift allocations. By putting essential data at users’ fingertips, 1Guava empowers smarter construction companies to innovate faster and optimize their project workflows.
Provided with tech strategy consulting and software audit
As a part of our tech strategy consulting, we advised the client on selecting the right technologies and third-party services for efficient document and file management. Besides that, we conducted a comprehensive software audit during the development, delivering documentation on most perspective functional modules for further enhancements. Our analysis also explored potential AI implementation directions, evaluating their feasibility and cost-effectiveness to ensure optimal business value.

Designed the platform with a focus on user experience
After conducting a detailed requirements review, MobiDev’s design team focused on delivering a smooth user experience for 1Guava clients. By emphasizing intuitive design and seamless navigation, we developed a platform that makes it easy for users to manage, allocate, and track crane utilization effectively.

Automated log gap detection
We developed smart algorithms to automatically identify gaps in crane logs, providing actionable alerts to keep user’s operations on track. The solution ensures no data “bubbles” remain unnoticed, enabling seamless and accurate tracking for better decision-making and improved project efficiency.

Launched the first version of the application within 4 months
By leveraging Flutter, we streamlined the development process by creating a unified codebase for both iOS and Android platforms. This approach significantly reduced development time and effort, allowing us to maintain consistency across both platforms and launch the application within 4 months.
