Client Overview
Bønnetid is an initiative under IRN (Islamsk Råd Norge), aimed at modernizing and unifying prayer time management across mosques in Norway.
With mosques distributed across multiple counties and cities, IRN envisioned a centralized, digital system that could deliver accurate prayer times, standardized mosque displays, and real-time announcements — while still allowing each mosque to maintain its own branding and operational control.

Project Objectives
IRN approached ByteBridge with a strategic goal:
- Create a unified digital platform to manage prayer times, jamaat schedules and mosque displays across all mosques in Norway.
- Replace fragmented, manual and inconsistent prayer time systems with a real time, centralized and scalable solution.
- Deliver a modern and interactive experience for both mosque visitors and mosque admins
Challenges
- No centralized system to manage prayer times across multiple mosques.
- Manual jamaat updates causing inconsistencies and human errors
- No real -time synchronization between prayer halls, lobby displays and user devices
- Lack of standardized mosque branding and display layouts
- Difficulty in managing asr calculation methods and offsets per mosque
- No offline support for mosque displays during connectivity issues
- Limited unified platform for announcements and multimedia
