Outcome

Computools successfully implements innovative ideas using the latest technologies. The experience and competence of engineers allow them to create, implement, and ensure the stable operating of applications with a wide range of features. The result of this project became an application that was distributed among local and international users. Due to the usefulness for a wide audience including various industries and businesses, the client's profit has increased several times.

Several key options we solved:

Implemented and customized a geospatial search engine.
Implemented social media platform options: sharing images, messaging, uploading and editing own photos, subscription, etc.
Built-in Internal 3D navigation, with the ability to use any other third-party navigation system or user's favorite travel app.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The client sought to create a product that would be equally useful to businesses and customers, would be able to connect them, and literally supplement the journey with useful information. The main principle is to display useful information about nearby establishments in the app and augmented reality, based on geo-data.
The Computoools's team took on the task of mobile app development to build the functionality of an Android application that would meet the needs of the target audience. The app shows the Wikipedia articles about the nearest objects, Google Place, general geo-content, and more. The application is also supplemented with an internal instant messenger that allows creating groups and sharing information in a new way. Chat Rooms can be private, public, or even just a place where users can collaborate with themselves until they're ready to invite others.

The app also allows to tag any object in any photo, link it back to its original place and discover it in Augmented Reality when the user is actually there. The app gallery gives info about the weather at the time of the photo, the current weather, the closest Wikipedia articles to the location of your photo.

The need to develop many separate elements of the application for each location

The lack of time for comprehensive testing

The great potential of the application for use in travel, advertising, brand promotion

Application with disruptive technology which helps to popularize it

Wide application functionality

Communication

One of the important points of work on the mobile app development project is the establishment of a stable and high-speed communication system. This allows to make decisions and get approval quickly. Skype was used for interaction. This allowed exchanging information, conducting video and audio conferences during the discussion of the project.

CONSULTING

Work on a mobile development project always starts with setting goals and objectives. The main expectations and visions for the finished product are identified too. Next, we begin data collection and analysis. The target audience, its needs are revealed. Competitors are also carefully studied, existing solutions are determined and their analysis is carried out. At this stage, the main possible barriers and risks are determined and solutions for them are selected.

DESIGN

The project specification is created: a step-by-step algorithm of actions for the project. The final specification is formed after the completion of the project. An interactive prototype of the future service is also being created, which allows to study the basic functionality and get detailed feedback from the customer.

ENGINEERING

Development begins with the selection of a team to work on this project. All participants undergo a careful selection, experts with the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills are selected among the employees of the company. After this, an intro meeting is held, tasks are distributed and the team proceeds to their implementation. Mobile development is conducted according to the chosen methodology and necessarily includes all types of testing.

Digital Platform & Technology

The stack of technologies needed to complete the tasks was determined by the team based on the goals and needs of the project. The optimal solutions were identified, allowing to provide the necessary functionality and stable operation of the platform.
