Project Summary

NextGen Invent Corporation developed a mobile app and supporting API for a digital marketing agency, relocating web assets and databases to Microsoft Azure. They integrated a third-party data feed from the London Metals Exchange to provide real‑time precious metals pricing and implemented unit-conversion logic for multiple weight measures. Stakeholders reported enhanced user experience, increased sales and doubled ROI on campaigns within a year.

Key Challenges

  • Integrate an external API to provide continuously updated precious metals pricing from the London Metals Exchange
  • Enable users to select and convert between multiple units of weight (troy oz., grams, pennyweight)
  • Develop native mobile apps for both iOS and Android that consume the pricing API

Project Deliverables

  • Relocation of web assets and databases to a Microsoft Azure cloud server
  • Creation of a new API to provide constantly updating precious metals pricing (integrating with a third-party LME data source)
  • Custom code to calculate and convert between units of weight (troy oz., grams, pennyweight)
  • Adaptation of provided UX designs for various mobile phone and tablet screen sizes
  • Database interaction/caching to limit third-party API costs and constantly update API values

Project Solution

NextGen Invent migrated the client's web assets and databases to Microsoft Azure and built a custom API that pulls pricing data from a third‑party provider of London Metals Exchange (LME) rates. They implemented server-side logic and database tables to cache and update pricing, wrote conversion routines for multiple weight units (troy oz., grams, pennyweight), and adapted provided UX designs to work across iOS and Android phone and tablet screen sizes while optimizing API access costs.

Project Outcome

  • Enhanced user experience
  • Real-time exchange rates
  • 3rd Party integrations for a full 360-degree view of the business
  • Increased Sales & Market Share
  • ROI on campaigns doubled (2x) in one year
  • Lowered server downtime and improved technical assistance after migration to Azure
