Bosch Rexroth’s aim was to give its customers the ability to cross reference and replace their existing hydraulic filter elements with the corresponding Rexroth filters.

1. Case StudySolutions
Bosch Rexroth has thousands of customers worldwide who are dependent upon
the company for various industrial parts to run their operations. Hydraulic filter
elements are among the most in-demand parts because of the extensive use that
they undergo.
Bosch Rexroth wanted to give its customers the ability to use their smartphones
and tablets to lookup information on its filter elements. The users of this app
needed the ability to quickly find the replacement for their existing filter element
using either the existing part number or model number. All the relevant
information regarding the parts also had to be displayed, including detailed
technical specifications. But displaying only product information was not enough
since customers also need to have the ability to contact Bosch’s customer support
team and order online. The challenge for our developers was to create a mobile
app that answered all these concerns.
The project had three major objectives: give users the ability to find the
replacement of their existing filter elements, the search should be possible using
either the full model number or even a partial model number and have the
capability to contact the company or place an order.
Softweb’s developers created the app, Fit4Filter, using Objective C, and developed
it for both the Android and iOS platforms. The app works in offline mode. The
Fit4Filter app takes advantage of mobile devices and delivers Bosch Rexroth filter
elements in the palm of your hand.
It is now possible to search for the filter element replacement using just the
existing Part Number or Model Number. If the perfect replacement filter element is
found, then the detailed technical specification of the Bosch Rexroth filter element
and contact info is displayed for fast ordering. The Fit4Filter App is quick to use
and easy to navigate regardless of if you are using Search, looking up local Contact
information or just changing the local Settings.
