Read the detailed portfolio and the development process description for the Right on Course apps for iPhone and Android.

https://www.edwayapps.com.au/blog/right-on-course-gps-tracking-mobile-apps-for-android-iphone/

Right On Course is a small to medium size company that provides Hi-Fliers Distribution services. The company used Garmin wearable devices to monitor and record Distributors actual data for the jobs performed. It wasn't cheap and very cumbersome process, as the company was purchasing Garmin wearables and provided them to the walkers and then Right on Course manager would be required to transfer data from each wearable device to his desktop via cable. Client enquired with us and explained that he is using 3rd party platform called mediatrack (http://www.mediatrack.com.au/). We, from EdwayApps, and the Client including his tech person from the mediatrack have met. We were quick to establish working process between the companies. 

The app was developed using the native framework to code the both iPhone and Android to achieve clients requirements: - work in off-line mode and sync data when connects back to the internet; - GPS tracking to be very accurate to show the Hi-Fliers Distributors walking both sides of streets and to show actual walk to the mailboxes. There was some other functionality required to be designed and executed to enable quality system operations: - We have developed backend with the Database and feed data to Mediatrack system in required form; - Designed and implemented APIs to establish the systems' connectivity; - Feed the apps data and display it on web application interface to show data within management mediatrack portal;

The Mobile Apps can be accessed on iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/…/app/right-on-course/id1142425154…; and, on Android: https://itunes.apple.com/…/app/right-on-course/id1142425154….

We have advised the client to describe the business processes he carries out and then his ideas on what areas of the business he wants to improve. We then analysed the information and provided basic high-level logic for the system that we can integrate with the existing Mediatrack software.

The following steps are carried out on the desktop at Mediatrack.com.au by Hi-Fliers administrators: (a) Hi-Fliers administrators create maps of various distribution areas and draw boundaries and notes. The maps are created on.ASP pages using Google Map Drawing API's. The maps references, zoom factor, drawn objects, markers, etc. are stored in an Access database on the MediaTrack server. (b) Hi-Fliers administrators create distribution "jobs" for various clients. The jobs are stored in an Access database on the MediaTrack server. (c) When/as required, Hi-Fliers administrators use the "job Planner" web application to 'allocated' specific maps to a job and then also allocate specific 'Walkers' to those areas. The Planner job system automatically sends out a notification email to the required Walker(s) informing them of the job and the required area(s). This email may contain several map areas, and for each zone, the email has two links. The first link takes the Walker to a web page showing the area and the boundaries and notes so they can see just where they are required to walk and deliver the items. The links have embedded detail as to the job number and Walker number etc. for verification purposes.

We, at EdwayApps www.edwayapps.com.au, have analysed required information and proposed the following solution to detail the requirements.

The Walker should receive a job notification email [as per section c above] but the link would: (a) Start/Load the phone 'app' which would load the area map and boundaries from the Mediatrack site; (b) Allow the Walker to "START" walking to start tracing/mapping their movements; (c) Allow the Walker to "STOP/PAUSE" the tracing so that they can do one part of the map one day and then complete the walk at another time; (d) Allow the Walker to "Continue" or "Finalise" the walk; (e) If the Walker "Finalises" the walk, they would be taken to a screen that would allow them to fill in the quantity of items over or under and then submit the completed job. (f) The app would then store the GPS data points together with additional information into the system DataBase. The system Uploads/communicates the job number, Walker ID, Quantity Over/Under, Area GPS Points, Walkers Boundaries Geo Area to the MediaTrack/Hi-Fliers system, and then sends an email to the Hi-Fliers administrator alerting that the area has been completed.

Learn various benefits and disadvantages for native or cross-platform mobile applications development strategy for your project. Usually, the decision is not a very straightforward and most people have limited funds to develop an MVP. Also, each project should be considered separately for each following aspect: 1) functionality - some functionality can be better executed in native framework and this should be the most crucial point to choose native coded development; 2) strategy and budget; 3) future project plans
