Case Study: a NDA achieves faster e-bike firmware delivery and longer battery life with Helpware

NDA cuts firmware power use by 30% with Helpware

Helpware partnered with an IoT company to address a critical firmware development challenge. The client, which builds smart trackers for e-bikes and scooters, needed to rapidly add advanced features like edge AI and secure over-the-air updates while drastically cutting power consumption to extend battery life. Their in-house team was stretched thin, delaying their roadmap.

Through a team-extension service, Helpware quickly onboarded senior C/C++ engineers who delivered a power-optimized firmware solution. Helpware's team integrated crash detection, enabled encrypted OTA updates for thousands of devices, and reduced power draw by 30%. This resulted in a 40% faster feature rollout, significant battery life extension, and a scalable architecture reused for new product lines.
