Case Study: PwC achieves rapid cross-platform mobile travel tracking with Appcelerator Titanium

PWC cuts mobile travel app time-to-market by 60% with Appcelerator

PwC, a major professional services firm, needed to build a secure, cross-platform mobile application for its Global 1000 clients to track employee travel for tax compliance and project costing. The challenge was to create an intuitive app that captured GPS data and integrated with existing back-end systems while supporting both iPhone and Android users worldwide. To solve this, they partnered with vendor Appcelerator and used its Titanium platform.

Using Appcelerator Titanium, PwC built the native application, which enabled rapid two-week agile release cycles. This approach resulted in a time-to-market that was approximately 60% faster than conventional native development and achieved around 80% code reuse across platforms. The solution delivered by Appcelerator automated location capture, reduced compliance effort, and integrated with PwC's cloud services, positioning the product for large-scale uptake soon after its launch.
