Project Summary

A European laboratory contracted Altamira to develop a mobile solution to automate photo capture, labeling and transfer for sample documentation. Altamira delivered a cross-platform mobile app (developed for Android 9.0+) that converts photos to numbered PDFs, supports barcode scanning and user identification, and was later extended with a company portal and published to app stores. The vendor resolved post-launch issues rapidly and the client reported satisfaction with communication and responsiveness.

Key Challenges

Need to automate and speed up the registration and photo-management process
Lack of an in-house mobile developer
Delivery during the COVID holiday period and a short development window

Project Deliverables

Android mobile app (Android 9.0+)
Photo capture and PDF conversion with numbered samples (1–999)
Photo identification and barcode-scanner workflow for user selection
Cable-based download functionality to connect device to PC
Company portal addition, iTunes upload, and Microsoft deployment

Project Solution

Implemented a mobile application that captures photos, converts them to PDFs, and assigns numbered sample identifiers (1–999). Built user selection via photo identification and barcode scanning and provided an option to add more pictures before finalizing. Enabled cable-based downloads to a computer. The first version targeted Android 9.0+, and Altamira later added a company portal, uploaded the app to iTunes, and published it on Microsoft solutions. The vendor also performed post-launch fixes and addressed performance and volume issues within one week.

Project Outcome

Resolved performance and image-volume issues within one week
Delivered a stable mobile solution that met the client's requirements
Client reported strong communication and intends to continue working with the vendor
