Golf ball search via Bluetooth
The Chip-ing golf ball combines classic feel with state-of-the-art Bluetooth technology, allowing you to locate lost balls in seconds using a smartphone app. The intelligent connection between hardware and app ensures less search time, smoother play, and a completely new golfing experience.
Arendi developed a cross-platform Xamarin app for Android and iOS for Chip-ing, enabling reliable tracking of smart golf balls via Bluetooth Low Energy. Thanks to the combination of technical expertise and experience in Bluetooth technology, mobile apps, and signal processing, the customer received a market-ready, end-to-end solution from a single source.
The collaboration with Arendi is always characterized by mutual respect and active participation on the part of the company, which develops in a very customer-oriented manner and proactively provides input.

Initial situation, goals & challenges
The client was looking for a reliable development partner proficient in both mobile app development and the integration of Bluetooth-based IoT technology. The goal was to create a production-ready, high-quality product that functions reliably under real-world conditions on the golf course and is easy to use.
Project results & customer benefits
The result is a market-ready, cross-platform mobile app for the reliable tracking of Bluetooth-enabled golf balls, available through the official app stores for iOS and Android. Chip-ing benefited from Arendi handling the entire app development process – from concept and UX/UI design to implementation, store integration, and subsequent maintenance and further development – all from a single source. Chip-ing benefited from Arendi's comprehensive approach.
Implemented solution
Arendi developed a high-performance, cross-platform mobile app based on Xamarin for Android and iOS that enables precise localization of golf balls via Bluetooth LE. Positioning is based on signal strength analysis (RSSI) combined with map data, providing the user with intuitive navigation to the ball. Particular emphasis was placed on energy efficiency, connection stability, and a user-friendly UX for outdoor use.
Technical specifications:
- Cross-platform app (Xamarin) for Android and iOS
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) integration for ball detection
- Distance estimation based on RSSI signal strength
- Integration of map data for visualization
- Real-time display of ball proximity and search support
- Optimized user guidance for quick location on the golf course
