Würth Component App: component catalogue in your pocket

Business context

Würth Elektronik, a company within the Würth Group headquartered in Germany, is a renowned manufacturer of printed circuit boards, electronic components and electromechanical elements. The company serves a broad range of industries, from industrial electronics and telecommunications to medical technologies and renewable energy.

With a catalogue covering thousands of products and variants, providing customers with convenient, consistent and fast access to information became essential. A modern mobile platform was needed to enable browsing, comparison and deeper exploration of component data, including PDF datasheets and technical parameters.

Challenge

The main challenge was to create a user-friendly yet efficient and robust mobile application capable of handling a highly extensive product catalogue smoothly. A search engine based on parameters and attributes was essential, allowing engineers to narrow down results quickly and compare items.

Additionally, the application had to integrate a QR scanner and handle a large number of PDF files associated with individual products. Smooth navigation, quick access to documentation and stable performance on the iOS platform under significant data volume were critical.

Solution

Leaware developed the “Würth Component App” using Xamarin technology, with a focus on the iOS platform. The solution provides a centralised product catalogue, parameter- and attribute-based search, and a built-in QR scanner, making it easier to find the right components quickly.

Particular attention was given to efficient product documentation management. Users can easily browse and open numerous PDF attachments linked to components, while the thoughtfully designed data and interface structure accelerates component discovery and comparison.

As a result, a complete and intuitive mobile platform was created that significantly improves the exploration of Würth Elektronik’s offering. Strong user engagement is confirmed by the application’s adoption results — more than 25,000 downloads and positive feedback on ease of use.
