The Challenge

Sky faced fierce competition from streaming giants like Netflix, Prime, and Disney+, and needed to enhance mobile interactions. After transitioning to React Native, the team encountered numerous bugs and stability issues post-launch, forcing prioritisation of stability over feature development.

Our Approach

We focused on three key areas: user-centric feature development, analytics-driven improvements, and stability enhancement.

Feature Development

  • Security dashboard for WiFi control and suspicious activity notifications
  • Billing explanation features addressing top call centre queries, informed by data analytics

Stability Improvements

  • Implemented crash reporting and monitoring dashboards using Grafana
  • Improved release management enabling safer, more frequent deployments

Results

  • Significantly reduced call centre interactions and associated costs
  • Increased user engagement and session length
  • Improved release management with safer, more frequent deployments
