Project overview

Since 1937, Troy-Bilt has been a trusted leader in outdoor power equipment, offering products like tillers, lawn mowers, and snow blowers. As consumer preferences evolved and technology advanced, Troy-Bilt recognized the need to adapt to stay competitive. We partnered with them to develop an innovative Alexa Skill app that allows users to schedule maintenance and mowing reminders, while integrating with local weather data to optimize scheduling. Following the app's success, Troy-Bilt reengaged us to develop the same skill for Google Voice, further enhancing their ability to connect with tech-savvy consumers. Our collaboration continues to focus on adapting Troy-Bilt’s offerings to meet the ever-evolving demands of the market.
