Case Study: Zipcar achieves rapid Android launch and a unified codebase with Appcelerator Titanium

ZipCar launches Android in 3 months and reuses 75% of code with Appcelerator

Zipcar, a major car-sharing service, needed to bring mobile development in-house to meet strong demand for an Android app and avoid maintaining separate codebases for its iOS and Android platforms. They partnered with vendor Appcelerator and used its Titanium product to solve this challenge.

Using Appcelerator Titanium, Zipcar's existing web team developed a native-feeling Android app in approximately three months and then ported it back to iPhone, reusing about 75% of the code. The solution delivered native-level performance, allowed a small three-developer team to efficiently maintain both apps, and significantly accelerated Zipcar's ability to iterate on its mobile strategy.
