The app was meant to serve as an ultra-flexible medium that helps Fathom Communications in clearly conveying its prospective clients how they can engage, retain and keep customers connected.
Landing on the right SDK was tricky as Fathom Communications demanded support for both iBeacon (micro fencing) and geofencing. Adding to this, the SDk has to support both Android and iOS native platforms and provide room for customizability.
For Augmented Reality support, the app needed a customizable SDK that can accommodate AR target and model changes that happen dynamically.
A series of conversion logics were needed in order to process user data and evaluate based on scoring criteria to generate accurate results.
The possibilities of leveraging on well known SDKs were narrowed down by the facts that the client was specific with the hardware (iBeacon by Qualcomm) and support for both geofencing and microfencing. Hence, Contus researched, tried and tested several SDKs to find the best one that can fit to the requirement and finally zeroed in on Gimbal.
Using Gimbal, the SDK that supports both iOS and Android platforms, Contus techies were able to bestow sharp microfencing and geofencing capabilities into the app which happens to be one of its prime necessities to deliver the intended customer experience.
