Who we work with
Projects
Most of our projects are enterprise systems not available to the public. But here are a few we can share...
ReMap Mobile App
A real estate listing app available on Android and iOS. This app brings together a lot of open source data from various open data portals. Advanced filtering, favourites, push notifications, measure... lots of great features.
Mi'kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas
MapDev created the web mapping application for the Mi'kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas. There is also a backend system that allows contributers to easily add new placenames which are reviewed prior to being released on the map.
KejiMap
This interactive web map shows details of the backcountry at Kejimkujik National Park. This was one of our "just because" apps. We built it because a few people on our team really enjoy the park and wanted to create a map for ourselves and others to enjoy.
RE/MAX Nova Listings Map
An interactive web mapping application to explore real estate listings in Nova Scotia. This app is packed full of data and great features.
Our Process
1. Connect
We start by getting to know your project, your goals, and what success looks like—for you and your users.
2. Design
Through sketching, wireframing, and collaboration, we refine the solution together until we land on something clear and ready to build. When needed, our technicians assess data quality and spatial requirements early in the process.
3. Develop
We build iteratively with constant feedback—so what we deliver is exactly what you need, not just what we guessed. As developers focus on the build, our technicians prepare, analyze, and validate the spatial data behind it.
4. Keep it going
After launch, we stay involved. Whether it's updates, support, or planning what's next, we're here to keep your solution working and evolving.
