Case Study: Leica Geosystems expands Safeload to iOS, Android, and Windows with Digital Scientists

Leica Geosystems expands Safeload to 3 platforms with Digital Scientists

Leica Geosystems, a leader in precision measurement, engaged Digital Scientists to modernize its Safeload rail-car measurement application. The challenge was to expand the Windows-only app to iOS and Android to meet customer demand, while meticulously preserving the compliance-critical workflows and trusted reputation it had built over nearly two decades in the regulated rail industry.

Digital Scientists rebuilt the application for all three platforms from a single codebase, solving complex hardware integration issues by implementing a WiFi protocol for mobile devices. The solution modernized the field interface for outdoor use and introduced self-service license management. As a result, Leica Geosystems expanded its addressable market to iOS and Android users, significantly reduced support costs through self-service features, and fully defended its installed base by carrying forward twenty years of compliance integrity.
