When serving a market segment that can afford the latest and greatest, there is a consistent need to stay ahead of the competition by delivering new and exciting capabilities while ensuring reliability never wavers.

Takeaways & results
Transcenda helped Savant develop and enhance its mobile apps (phone and tablet) that allow consumers to control their homes.
Savant Pro enables control of lighting, climate, entertainment and security—all from a single app. Transcenda supported new feature design and engineering while ensuring strong reliability and flawless user experience. Some of the new features include scenes management, intercom and energy management.
Scenes management allows a homeowner to create different scenes for different occasions. An example of this would be "vacation mode," whereby the home automatically adjusts all features and integrated devices to align with the homeowner's vacation mode settings. This includes lighting, temperature and blinds, among other features. Scenes allow homeowners to customize their preferences and settings for different occasions.
