Project Summary

Forix developed a ground-up mobile and web platform for Fuel Cloud, building iOS and Android applications and collaborating on the web interface and wireframes. The team of six to seven developers delivered a cloud-backed system for fuel tracking and tank monitoring; the work was showcased at the Western Petroleum Marketers Association where the demo handled several hundred live transactions without issue. Forix managed timelines tightly, maintained a fixed-price engagement with limited T&M addendums, and provided ongoing support for launch and future strategy.
