Case Study: Hurdl achieves real-time wearable survey and data delivery with Acklen Avenue

Hurdl launches SMS Pixl platform and real-time event data with Acklen Avenue

Hurdl, Inc., a wearable device and big data startup, faced a challenge with its Pixl wearables. While they could custom-program the devices, they lacked the ability to conduct user surveys via SMS or send configuration data from the cloud to the user. To overcome this, they partnered with the software development vendor Acklen Avenue.

Acklen Avenue built an SMS-based survey system with a backend on AWS and a Raspberry Pi application to broadcast data to the devices. This solution provided Hurdl with a complete platform to manage events and collect real-time data. As a result, Hurdl was able to bring the development in-house to continue growing the product, and the project helped the company identify a key pain point that led to an internal reorganization.
