Relias, one of the top healthcare education companies in the US, engaged Skapa to create a native app for their Live training platform. The app gives learners the ability to attend virtual events, watch training content (Video, PDF, SCORM) and message their instructors. The app was built using a technology React Native, that allowed Skapa to write one application that was deployed to both the Apple App Store and Google Play, saving significant development costs.

The learner’s home screen enables them to quickly see their training programs. This allows the learner to study and complete the content whenever, and wherever they want.

“Skapa is collaborative, creative, and great at getting things done at a high quality. They have provided us with a cost-effective way to have flexibility to expand our product development capacity beyond our internal resources.” Mike Mutka, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder at Relias.
