The challenge

Savant began with a focus on the high-end smart-home space, and serves this market with its Savant Pro product line. Design, reliability and an innovative feature set differentiate Savant Pro from its competitors. 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. While Savant has a strong engineering team, partnering with Transcenda’s experts enabled them to accelerate their product roadmap for the Pro App.

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.
