OBJECTIVES
CSC Fuels wanted to design and develop an app that would allow them to better communicate CSC Fuels petrol station locations to their growing customer base. The app needed to be developed for iOS and Android with a link into their website to populate the bulk of the content in the app, making information as accessible as possible for their user base. CSC Fuels wanted to ensure their administration staff did not have to add content in multiple locations (website and app) therefore the link to the website that would regularly update content with no input from CSC Fuels was vital to the success of this project.
As well as displaying locations, we were also required to develop a route planner that would allow users to see all CSC Fuel locations along their journey with the ability to quickly contact CSC Fuels quickly and easily if required.
The app is split into three core sections, Sites Nearby, Route Planner and Contact Us. Users are not required to login to view this content as all project stakeholders felt in wasn’t necessary, it was important to get petrol station information to the user with minimal interactions as they are likely to be using this app ‘on the go’. The app needed to display sites close to the user’s current location, whilst also giving them the ability to search and pinch/zoom functionally on a map of the UK and Ireland. The Route Planner section of the app was required to allow users to search and select location A and location B, which would then be displayed on a map with all relevant petrol station information plotted on that map. Finally, the Contact Us section was required to allow users to contact CSC Fuels by phone directly from the app.
