Case Study
PubNub Aids in McDonald's Malaysian Campaign
McDonald’s Save the Sundae Cone campaign had a McDonald’s Sundae Cone on the digital billboard, which was slowly melting in the heat of the city. To “save” the sundae cone, the audience needed to spin a giant fan that would ‘cool’ the sundae cone and ‘un-melt’ it. They did this by spinning a mini-fan, which was accessed through their mobile device’s web browser. At the end, participants were given a voucher on their smartphone to be redeemed at a McDonald’s across the street for a free sundae cone. The realtime network needed to be able to handle hundreds of users simultaneously, and with such a large audience, 100% uptime was vital for the campaign.
Case Study
Mothership's Real-Time Freight Shipping Modernization with PubNub
Mothership, a company modernizing the freight industry with its all-in-one shipping platform, faced a significant challenge. Their platform, which provides customers with real-time tracking of freight and offers carriers the flexibility to choose their own schedule, was experiencing usage spikes. This led to a need for a solution that could operate reliably and at scale to push out real-time data to their client-side applications. The company's focus on speed and transparency throughout the delivery process made it essential for them to deliver real-time updates to their customers. However, the existing infrastructure was not able to handle the increasing demand, especially when it came to rebuilding their mobile app.
Case Study
VitusVet Leverages PubNub for Real-Time Updates in Veterinary Practices
VitusVet, a client-engagement platform for veterinary practices, was facing the challenge of building real-time notifications at scale for their Connect app. The app was designed to facilitate communication between vets and pet owners, but the development of an in-house system for real-time notifications would require substantial resources and time. The company needed a solution that would allow them to quickly and efficiently manage their day-to-day operations, improve customer communication, and ensure that pets receive the highest-quality care. The challenge was to find a way to enable reliable, real-time communication between veterinary practices and pet owners without having to build from the ground up, which would be costly and time-consuming.
