BatchGeo - Mapping Data Made Simple
Continued support, partnership, and maintenance of the fastest way to create Google maps from spreadsheets.
The Challenge
BatchGeo, a leading technology platform that transforms spreadsheets into interactive Google Maps, needed ongoing support to maintain and enhance its web functionalities. The challenge was to ensure that BatchGeo’s platform remained scalable, secure, and easy to use, while adapting to evolving web technologies and meeting the expectations of a diverse global user base.
SLIDEFACTORY was approached to provide continuous development, optimize the user experience, and manage the complexities of BatchGeo’s intricate pre-existing codebase. To meet growing demands, the platform also required cloud infrastructure updates and migration to AWS for enhanced performance, scalability, and reliability.
Our Approach
SLIDEFACTORY worked closely with BatchGeo to revitalize its web platform, focusing on performance, user experience, and cloud migration. Our approach covered several key areas:
- Cloud Infrastructure Update and AWS Migration: We transitioned BatchGeo’s infrastructure to AWS, providing a more reliable, scalable foundation to handle increased data processing and ensuring faster load times and improved uptime.
- Web Development: Working within the constraints of the existing codebase, we enhanced the system architecture and integrated new features to ensure long-term scalability.
- User Experience (UX) Design: Through consistent UX updates, we made BatchGeo more intuitive, providing users with a seamless and accessible interface to visualize their geographic data.
- Google Maps Integration: We managed advanced Google Maps integrations, ensuring the maps generated from user spreadsheets remained functional, responsive, and visually appealing.
- Payment System Compliance: As international regulations evolved, we updated BatchGeo’s payment integration to meet new legislative requirements, ensuring strong customer authentication and secure transactions.
Challenges Overcome
SLIDEFACTORY’s expertise was crucial to navigating several technical challenges and delivering a smooth user experience:
- Complex Codebase Navigation: Understanding and optimizing the existing codebase was essential for implementing new features without impacting platform stability.
- Cloud Migration and Scaling: Migrating BatchGeo’s infrastructure to AWS required careful planning and execution to minimize downtime and optimize performance.
- Data Integration and Handling: Managing large volumes of geographic data processed by the platform was key to delivering a seamless experience for end-users.
