About the project
IT Craft helped the client validate and shape a native iOS navigation platform tailored to complex indoor environments. We led a 2-month discovery stage focused on technical feasibility, vendor analysis, and user experience planning — laying the foundation for full iOS app development.
The iOS app is designed to guide users through indoor spaces with real-time positioning, interactive wayfinding, and an accessible UI optimized for diverse needs.
The client aimed to improve indoor navigation by making it intuitive and inclusive — turning a high-level vision into a structured iOS application with scalable infrastructure and vendor support.
The goal was to prepare a market-ready iOS solution, reduce development risks, and provide a roadmap backed by clear documentation, prototypes, and technical alignment.

- Define a clear product scope and validate feasibility on iOS
- Recommend optimal vendors for indoor positioning and beacons
- Design user-friendly navigation flows for iOS app users
- Ensure compatibility with real-world indoor constraints
- Support future API integrations with third-party platforms

Manual Testing
The client came to IT Craft with the idea of building an intuitive indoor navigation system powered by iOS. Our role was to validate the idea, define technical feasibility, and prepare all assets required to start development with confidence.
We supported the client throughout the entire business analysis stage, focusing on platform requirements, scalability, and user needs. More specifically, this included:
- Conducting technical feasibility studies for indoor navigation on native iOS
- Evaluating third-party positioning SDKs (e.g., Indoor Atlas) for accuracy and compatibility
- Creating an SRS (System Requirements Specification) with detailed architecture
- Designing UX flows tailored to diverse user needs, including accessibility support
- Developing an interactive prototype to validate usability and navigation logic
- Recommending a scalable backend architecture ready for high-load environments
Results of the collaboration with the Client
IT Craft’s iOS app development expertise helped the client transform a high-level idea into a validated, production-ready concept for an indoor navigation system.
- Refined SRS document and execution roadmap
- Interactive UI/UX prototype tailored for native iOS
- Vendor shortlist with technical integration plans
- Key risks identified and mitigated early
- Streamlined navigation logic optimized for usability
The result of our collaboration was the development of an iOS mobile application — backed by research, refined through prototyping, and ready for next-stage development.
