Juce
Phones on mute, meetings recharged
Simply said, JUCE provides docking stations for devices in (virtual) meeting rooms. Once attendees enter a meeting, they can place their phone in the JUCE docking station, triggering automated features. The digital noise gets muted and more quality time gets generated.

Madewithlove was involved in building part of the back office of the product that takes care of the complexity of sending schedules to an IoT device and calendar management. While we mainly focused on software engineering, we also took the lead in setting up a secure Internet of Things architecture to manage the fleet of JUCE's hardware.
Where Software Meets Hardware
Building a product that relies on a lot of physical tools is always a challenge. While we are no hardware experts, we know exactly what a product needs to obtain a reliable, scalable and secure infrastructure where software and hardware go hand in hand.
For this challenging project, we focused on Laravel Nova and Google IoT. We also used Cronofy, an excellent API for Calendar management, which allowed us to access all kinds of calendars in a developer-friendly way.
Next to that, we made sure we connected the dots between physical meeting rooms, remote scheduling, an alerting system, time management, and synchronisation with all the JUCE devices.
How Did We Do It?
When we started working with JUCE, all they had was working hardware but no software that connected the devices. In addition to helping JUCE with decisions and advising on security, we delivered the project on time, within scope, and within budget.
Because the people at JUCE had a good vision of their product, we hardly had to do any product managing. Ten percent of our time was put into researching and the rest was reserved for the dirty work. Two of our engineers spent close to three months working on the product. When asking what they are most proud of, they both say that they are happy with the choices made to reuse existing services and linking them all together cleverly.
What they said
“Madewithlove came in when we needed a robust web environment with tight budget and schedule as a startup. They understood this, took the lead and managed to get us up and running quickly. They also made important technical choices allowing us to scale our IoT product comfortably.”
