Case Study: Switchee improves resident home control and accessibility with Whitesmith's mobile app

Switchee lowers heating bills by up to 17% with Whitesmith

Switchee, a company dedicated to improving social housing through technology, needed to upgrade their mobile app to give residents full control over their home heating and hot water systems. Their challenge was to match the physical device's capabilities, improve accessibility for non-tech-savvy and visually impaired users, and ensure reliable cloud communication. They partnered with Whitesmith for this project development.

Whitesmith delivered a React Native app with a new design, customizable scheduling, and enhanced accessibility features. The solution addressed connectivity issues and was rolled out with extensive QA. As a result, user engagement increased and residents were able to lower their heating bills by up to 17% through optimized energy use. Whitesmith provided Switchee with a stable, intuitive app that serves as a strong foundation for future innovation.
