The team behind the premium release.
The client
Petro Niche is a Calgary technology and consulting company working in oil and gas, offering mapping and consulting services to professionals across western Canada.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
The company wanted a premium tier for its mobile mapping app, which meant revisiting the existing tool at the same time.
Challenge 01A premium service worth paying for
Petro Ninja’s new premium offer had to be developed from what already existed.
Challenge 02The current tool, reviewed
The existing application needed reviewing and upgrading rather than leaving alongside the new tier.
Challenge 03Infrastructure on the map
New options had to show the well and pipe infrastructure the app’s users care about.
What we did
A premium map layer for oil and gas professionals
Netguru worked on the existing code and expanded what the Petro Ninja app can do.
React Native as the base
New functionality was built with React Native as the main mobile technology.
New layers on the premium map
The premium map architecture was expanded with new layers carrying the infrastructure data.
Geolocation introduced
Geolocation solutions were brought into the system, which is what makes a field mapping tool useful in the field.
Attributes on custom layers
Attribute data was added to the app’s custom layers, and the premium version shipped to the App Store and Google Play ahead of an expansion into the United States.
Client testimonial
React Native is not really common, at least that was our feeling when we were looking around to find good developer companies specialising in it. My experience with Netguru is positive, together we’ve completed a very important project in this technology.
