Solution

Connecting the mobile app and the platform

SoftTeco developed the application and the associated backend components. Encrypted communication via the mobile device supports authentication and transaction approval.

Integration into existing applications

The project architecture uses Azure Service Fabric, APIs, Identity Server 4 and SignalR. An administration area supports user management. These technologies describe the historical state of the project, not a present-day architecture recommendation.
