What the client needed
Well locations and geo-survey data for Texas existed, but not in a form his customers could query from the field. He wanted to sell access.
What we built
Import and structuring of the survey data into a queryable database, a Laravel API with keyed access so he could resell it, and a mobile app (a web application wrapped for Android and iOS) for his customers to look up wells and survey results on a phone.
What it shows
Turning a dataset into a product: data modelling, an API built to be resold, and a mobile front end.
