Reyes Engineering, Inc. Beacon Project - Client Tracking

Reyes Engineering

Beacon Technology Project

Event triggers based on client location within building

The Narrative:

• Client enters through the door, beacon1 (tag: lobby) sends payload via bluetooth to phone
• Phone uses payload to send another payload with location and other info to real-time database
  • Client can also send info about wanting drinks and what kind of drinks
• Real-time API database sends notifications to employee phone/web app along with other information that is useful about the client
• Repeat steps 1-2 when in the elevator and near the front door
  • When in the elevator, dashboard web app updates and shows client info about meeting and options for checking in

Application interface:

• Client phone app
• Employee phone app
• Employee web app
• Dashboard web app

Status of Project:

• iOS applications: almost done/needs to be published
• Employee app fully functional
• Client app functional, needs beacon monitoring capabilities while app is killed
• Android application: not started
• Web applications: employee app not started/dashboard functional, needs to be published

What needs to be completed:

(0 - cannot do it/need other people —> 10 - completely doable)

• Migration of database from private google account to company google account (8)
• Publishing iOS phone applications (9)
• Maintaining iOS phone applications (10)
• Creating Android applications client/employee (2)
• Creating Employee web app (4)
• Deploying dashboard web app (9)

Who is needed:

• Project Manager for Software Development
• UI/UX designer
• Web application developer with experience in React.js
• Software developer with experience in Android development
• Software developer with experience in iOS development
• Backend developer with experience in constructing real-time databases using socket.io or has experience with Firebase

Other Important Information/Instructions:

• maintenance of database/application is a must
• maintain database through company google account
• code will be published on private one drive
• if not already done so, place beacons in front door, elevator, lobby
• while dashboard is not published to the internet, I will send IP address daily to show what should be displayed on TV and tablet
• programmers will need to read documentation on application and also need to become familiar with Estimote beacon technology
