Overview
Absco Sheds, a wholly owned Australian company, has been the leading manufacturer and supplier of Aussie sheds and backyard storage solutions for over 55 years, with a worldwide market.
Absco Sheds specialize in kit form sheds, aviaries, garages, carports and patio covers for backyard and outdoor areas.
Absco Sheds is the market leader in Australia, as its innovative designs and range of products come with a lifetime warranty, and feature a unique patented technology (an “Easy to Assemble System”) that reduces the need for fasteners by 75% and reduces assembly time by up to 80%. This also makes the shed easier to assemble, and improves the strength and rigidity of the shed.
The Absco Sheds Assembly App is a shed installer in the pocket to help customers get their Shed, Chicken Coop, Garage, Patio Cover or Carport set up right!
Users can use the App as a step-by-step guide, and access assembly videos and tips and tricks, view the range, and download instruction manuals and guides.
Key Features
- Absco provides colour options for storage. Users can see videos of storage solutions in different colours.
- The App provides a Digital parts-checklist. In the rare case that any parts are missing, the user can inform Absco by filling a form in the App, and Customer service will contact them.
- Instruction manuals can be downloaded, and there are step-by-step assembly videos for the user, for self-installation of the storage solution.
- Users can directly chat with Absco on Facebook Messenger via the Chat option.
- 3D Augmented Reality for users to view a Shed in their backyard.
- The App is available in English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch languages.

Challenges
- Video play in the App.
- Implementation of Localization.
Solution
- Our iOS developers used a Lightweight helper library to add inline playback of YouTube videos through a WebView. We integrated it in the App to play video in the App.
- We used third-party Localize-Swift which improves localization in Swift iOS apps, providing cleaner syntax and in-app language switching.
3rd Party APIs/SDKs/Libraries
- SendGrid
