Mobile App Development & API Integtation for Fisheries

When on the water, DoF officers are required to make licence queries. This was previously done by using time consuming, land based administration services. We streamlined this process by creating a handy mobile app for the department's officers to use.

The Challenge

The Department of Fisheries needed their officers to be able to access fishing licence and registration data on a mobile application that would be easy to use and accessible on a range of devices. Making it a quicker and easier process for them to access information, so fishers could be on their way sooner. 

The Solution

To solve DoF’s problem, Integranet Digital created a mobile application specifically for the DoF Officers to use. The mobile application:

• Significantly reduces licence query time
• Reduces the overhead on admin & Fisheries Officers
• Allows fishermen (and women) to be on their way sooner

Xamarin Forms, a Microsoft owned company with tools for cross platform development was implemented by our team to develop a windows application with secure mobile API interface, allowing secure mobile access. The use of fuzzy search logic was an added benefit to improving results for occasions such as incorrect spelling.
 

We built an app that saved hours each day, and endless communication headaches.

The DoF Officers mobile application is available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices, and Google Play Store for Android devices, making it adaptable for each officer.

The Result

DoF officers now have access to the entire licence database from their pockets with the use of their new DoF Officers' mobile application. With a quick search for the first and last names of a licence holder, they are presented with an informative and colour coordinated card of the status of that licence.

An added benefit of the DoF Officers mobile application solution is the creation of a friendlier interaction between the officers and the fishers as they no longer need to wait as long for their licence to be checked - happy client, happy fishers.

We understand that in today’s digital world it is critical for every business to embrace mobile apps.
