Streamlining land management
Depending on paper versions of the maps can make managing any estate difficult. The Land App aims to resolve that issue and help with other challenges like sharing information, submitting applications, and planning future projects. The other existing software solutions for online mapping were either expensive or difficult to use, making the important information scattered among several applications.
The Land App lets the users share online maps with all agriculture and property management third parties. Its functionalities are optimised for the needs of both estate agencies and individual users, and they fit the legislative regulations in the UK.
Project goals and needs
The Land App team needed technical support in maintaining the web version of the application. The main purpose of the app was to allow the user to create an online map of an area of their choice, on their own, and by following a detailed manual.
Another important goal was achieving a product-market fit for the app. Once the collaboration with Spyrosoft has started, The Land App team has been able to focus on improving their product management and design processes. This – in turn – allowed them to work faster and accomplish all the milestones they had planned for.
The collaboration with Spyrosoft
Initially, there were two specialists from the Spyrosoft side helping to develop and maintain the app, but the team has grown as the scope of the project has become larger, and The Land App itself has evolved into a more mature product. The project uses state-of-the-art technologies and tools from the geospatial area.
Thanks to the collaboration with our company, The Land App is now becoming the essential application for a growing number of farms and estate agencies. It is currently used by more than 2000 users. The platform is also now being used by various public institutions, including national land registries and parks.
With the Land App achieving the product-market fit in 2019, the team is now ready for a surge of new users and adding new functionalities.
