Project Summary

10Pearls rebuilt and improved a public‑facing Google map used to display the open/closed status and location of pharmacies and other healthcare facilities during disasters, increasing capacity to over 200,000 data points. The vendor improved the map refresh process, redesigned the UI/UX, built a more scalable backend using AWS, and updated the hosting website. The project launched in January 2020 and has been used extensively during the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Key Challenges

Improve the public-facing map and its refresh process
Ensure frequent data updates (twice daily) and scale to support more data points
Enhance the map's usability and visual design

Project Deliverables

Upgraded mapping application with Google Maps integration
Backend capable of hosting and displaying 200,000+ data points
UI/UX redesign and mockups
Website updates to host the map

Project Solution

10Pearls improved the existing public Google Maps service by redesigning the frontend UI/UX, devising mockups and recommendations, and building a scalable backend to host and display significantly more data. The vendor used AWS and Google Maps, reviewed the existing map, created design mockups, coordinated meetings between the client and design/backend teams, and updated the website hosting the map. The core map work completed in August 2019, and the map was rolled out officially in January 2020.
