Semantic Press Cuts iPhone Development Time by 80% with Titanium

by Scott Schwarzhoff on November 10, 2009

Semantic Press is wrapping up PartsFinder Mobile, a geo-searchable utility for buying and selling automotive parts and supplies using a mobile.  Terry Martin, founder of Semantic Press, recently ”pulled the plug on the Objective-C [iPhone version of the] application after spending thousands of dollars on development”.  Fortunately, Terry found Titanium and was able to complete his iPhone application.  Here’s a snippet of the full case study:Picture1

Terry has developed a nationwide automotive part search service that links more than 5,000 retailers with consumers.  The automotive recycling industry uses a standardized system, Hollander Interchange, to syndicate inventories across North America and perform cross compatible referencing.

Allowing people to [search for parts] on the iPhone based on their location wasn’t easy.  After spending a lot of time and money developing the application in Objective-C, they didn’t have a commercially viable application.  “We ended up pulling the plug on the Objective-C application.”
