VerveS app is an automated scooter rental service app with IoT technology. It allows a hassle-free and comfortable solution for the daily commute. An app shows nearby scooters to reach out once a user logged in. Users can turn on, map track, and turn off the scooter with an app's help. App has a QR code scan functionality, where the need to enter a code and scooter will be start. An app allows users two ways to turn the scooter on, either by scan or manually entering the scooter number. Users can track the ride as well as turn off the scooter by a simple tap.

Whether it is shopping, work, commute, college campuses, and enjoy time with your family and friends, the VerveS app makes sure you reach the right place at the right time by driving yourself.
Client Requirements
Many people don’t want to sit around or wait for a cab to arrive or sit behind someone else driving for you during the ride. They want to move on their own, and that time they think what if they have a scooter than it will be effortless. So the client wanted to make an online platform that provides the best solution for everyday transport life where they can rent scooters using the round trip option. Go wherever they wish and return to the some allocate point to drop the scooter. With this unique idea, he reaches to Hyperlink InfoSystem. But his main concern is to make this app in the IoT platform because IoT works on sensors and controls them through an actuator so it can better serve the user. Our project manager was connected with clients regularly to fulfill his every primary demand. After team supports, hard work and research Hyperlink InfoSystem team has developed "VerveS app" where customers can ride scooters on rent without key and any human intervention. Our client wanted to create an app for both Android and iOS platforms.

Challenges
To Sync Software and Hardware
As per the automated app feature, users can start scooter by scaning or entering a code into the app. To do that, both software and hardware must sync with the app. This was a really challenging task for our developers. After some analysis, we use MQTT socket protocol for this communication of software and hardware which was something new than the traditional applications. It was a tough task to manage the packet communication over MQTT protocol to synchronize with the hardware along with to handle unexpected socket connection failure without affecting the end user experience. We sat observer to keep the socket connection continue, in case of failure, it automatically checks the present socket connection status and connects it if not connected.
