Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The Galena team has partnered with Appirio [topcoder] to build a mobile application through the crowd. This application is intended to enhance the fueling experience by allowing you to check in to a pump and complete a purchase from the comfort of your phone. The application will make use of communication technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon, iBeacon, QR code reading and so on to help check users into specific fuel pumps.
The users of the application will have the convenience of controlling their whole transaction through their handheld devices. It will be possible to store payment information (Credit Card/Paypal etc) in the application for ease of use and the application will push informative advertising and fueling status to the screen. In addition the app will provide paperless digital receipts after the transaction along with storing their history. Users will also be able to locate nearby gas stations through the application and choose and access multiple other loyalty schemes as appropriate.
We’re building this application using the Titanium Mobile Application Development Environment and aiming initially at Android based phones.
