Mobile App Development for Africa Technology Expo

Overview

Spark Africa Limited, the organisers of the Africa Technology Expo (ATE), partnered with TRCOMS Ltd to develop a powerful mobile app for event access and management.

We built and delivered a cross-platform mobile application (Android and iOS) designed to simplify attendee access, streamline event management, and enhance the overall delegate experience at one of Africa’s leading technology showcases.

, with a focus on clarity, accessibility, and user experience, backed by a content management system that allows their team to update content seamlessly.

Challenges

The Africa Technology Expo needed a modern event app that could:

  • Handle large-scale attendee registration and ticket validation.

  • Provide seamless access control during the event.

  • Deliver real-time event updates, schedules, and venue information.

  • Support both Android and iOS devices for broad accessibility.

  • Ensure scalability and reliability for a high-profile, high-traffic event.

Without a dedicated event management app, organisers risked longer entry times, poor attendee experience, and limited engagement opportunities.

Solution

TRCOMS designed and developed a custom-built mobile app for ATE with event-specific functionality:

  1. Cross-Platform App (Android & iOS)

    • Developed for both major platforms to maximise accessibility.

    • Optimised for smooth performance across different devices.

  2. Event Registration & Access Control

    • QR code-based digital ticketing for fast check-in.

    • Secure attendee authentication to prevent duplication or fraud.

  3. Event Information Hub

    • Schedules, speaker profiles, and venue maps accessible in-app.

    • Push notifications for real-time updates during the event.

  4. Scalability & Reliability

    • Designed to handle thousands of concurrent users.

    • Backend infrastructure optimised for high-volume, time-sensitive events.

  5. Admin Control Panel

    • Organisers could manage attendees, validate entries, and send updates directly from the backend system.

Result and Future Outlook

 

  • ✅ Smooth Event Access – Reduced bottlenecks at entry points with digital ticket scanning.

  • ✅ Stronger Attendee Engagement – Delegates could access real-time schedules and speaker updates in one app.

  • ✅ Operational Efficiency – Organisers gained visibility and control through a dedicated admin system.

  • ✅ Cross-Platform Reach – Both Android and iOS apps delivered a consistent experience.

  • ✅ Professional Brand Presence – A dedicated ATE app enhanced the credibility and digital innovation of Spark Africa Limited.
