nVisionIT developed a field management solution specifically for the Dredging Industry.
The system was designed for tablet devices working in both an online and offline mode, that enabled activities and data measurements on the Dredging barges to be captured by the responsible parties on board. These activities are dynamically synced into the cloud as and when internet connectivity is available. The data is then compiled and managed to provide near real-time management reporting to project managers and interested parties on land. The user interface required special attention so that Dredge Masters are not blinded by the application whilst operating during night shifts.
In this way information and insights about the dredging process and oceanic floor environment is provided in a much more frequent and accurate manner than previously available.
Previously data was manually captured on board the ships, to be recaptured at dock, which may be weeks or even months after the initial measurements where done.

Project Details
Client: Harbour Dredging
The team leveraged an Agile approach to the project. As the development team added, fixed, and enhanced the feature-set the team could make changes available to a geographically distributed user base with ease. This allowed the development team to validate that the software was fit for purpose.
More importantly, it allowed the team to demonstrate small prototypes to the client; most of those prototypes were value adding to the product and become features which were not initially scoped.
