The vision of iTopLight
Software & hardware solution for internet connected digital taxi roof signs. The iTopLight smart sign displays dynamic text messages & logos: taxi status, offers, geo relevant ads etc.
The work of BusyMachines
The main challenge of the iTopLight platform consisted in building a core communication mechanism between the cloud & the iTopLight smart sign.
-
This communication mechanism needed to provide a strong foundation on which other vertical services were delivered: text messages, advertisement, tracking etc.
-
BusyMachines is responsible for the solution architecture & implementation of the complete software platform and apps. We also designed and automated the entire cloud production infrastructure.
