Breathe Rota takes the hassle out of rota planning for any SME business, giving you all the features you and your people need to manage shifts.
Breathe HR approached us in Spring 2020 with a requirement to create a mobile-first companion app to the the existing 'Rota' web app we had developed. Our Design and Discovery Team worked to understand the priorities of not only the business but the latent needs of the end-users. Our designers worked on an iterative model of constructing user flows through to designing wireframes. Our main task was to streamline the process of a staff member receiving and accepting new shift requests.
After finalising, testing and validating the userflow's, the design team began ideating concepts for the layout of the UI. The team worked through skeleton wireframes to establish the design layout, ensure accessibility and test ideas. The chosen wireframes were designed out into four "key-screens" utilising the design language from the Rota Web-app we had worked on previously. Once the client was happy with the direction of the designs, the design team got to work building out the full supply of UI screens.
Once the full supply of designs were finalised and signed off by the client - Our development team got to work. The app was developed using React Native. React Native is a JavaScript mobile app development library that enables developers to write one codebase and deploy to both iOS and Android mobile devices. Using React Native, it meant our team could build the Rota app for both iOS and Android in less than 12 weeks ready for market launch.
