TVS Motor Company required an end-to-end enquiry management system. A native Android app, third-party SAAS solutions, and customising a solution from the ground up were all options under consideration. But how do you decide what’s best (you might also want to check out our blog To Build Or To Buy)? We conducted some proofs-of-concept before deciding to create "TVS Accelerator," a proprietary solution.

What is the TVS Accelerator?
TVS Accelerator is a Progressive Web App that helps you manage customer enquiries. It works with all digital lead generation platforms and lets users keep track of any kind of enquiry. This helps dealer partners to transition from a people/systems-dependent platform to a more robust and accessible from any location, at any time, on any device. The app offers a user-friendly interface that allows users to get started quickly without considerable training or external assistance.
What is Progressive Web App?
Progressive Web Apps (PWA) combine the best of the web with previously only possible features on native apps. PWAs live in the browser like a traditional website and can be installed on the home screen through browser-provided prompts without the hassle of an app store. Like native apps, they can be launched from a home screen icon, send push notifications to the user’s device, load in a split second, and be built to work offline.
Why PWA over Native app?
We picked PWA to expand our user base without requiring them to download an app and provide a consistent online and mobile experience with reusability.
Native apps take up more space on the device, and we saw several instances throughout our research where the user's device didn't have adequate space, causing work to suffer.
Unlike native app users, who must update the app from the app store whenever a new version is available, PWA users do not have to worry about installing updates because the app always displays the most recent version when launched.
A PWA is less expensive and faster to develop than a native app. In the case of a native app, you will need at least two versions for iOS and Android. However, with a PWA, you will only need one version, and it will look the same on all platforms.
PWA is more convenient because it avoids the time-consuming App Store approval process. You will have to submit native apps to various App Stores in addition to generating unique versions for different platforms. In order to be published in each of these stores, you must meet specific standards. You may even be charged a price to create a developer account.
