Indoor mapping is a crucial part of an indoor location tracking and navigation system that refers to completing digital maps of indoor spaces.

We recommend that you focus on the following steps when building an indoor navigation system:

• analyze facilities and choose the right tracking technologies for each specific indoor space
• select specific hardware; purchase the required number of pieces
• decide on a relevant subscription plan for navigation engine(s) based on your needs
• develop and launch indoor navigation apps for iOS/Android users
• develop specific indoor location tracking apps for wearables if required
• develop app back end and API; integrate indoor navigation technologies
• launch an administration panel for system management
• install indoor navigation hardware inside your facilities
• prepare facility maps
• complete beta testing and tune the system
• open access to the system for end users

Indoor positioning analytics functionality lets system administrators make sense of user movements inside the facility. It can be used to:

• determine the busiest facility areas via heat maps
• optimize facility management
• improve visitor flow
• track valuable equipment
• and more

An indoor navigation system can cost between $30,000 and $350,000 depending on its size, complexity, and number of features. 

Also, you should add the costs of BLE beacons and subscriptions for indoor navigation engines

For user navigation:
User smartphone analyzes the strength of signals from three BLE beacons to determine user position. 

Geofencing technology specifies user location on an indoor map.

Smartphone motion sensors track user movements and help determine user location more precisely.

For asset tracking:
Beacons are placed on assets and transmit signals, which special gateways detect. The system uses the detected signal to calculate an item's position inside a facility. It lets app users determine the precise location, saving search time, or sends alerts when the asset approaches the borders of the designated area.

iBeacon protocol has been developed to enable communication between Bluetooth-equipped user devices and BLE beacons.

BLE beacons can trigger events based on proximity and can be used for:

• Turn-by-turn indoor navigation
• Location and item tracking
• Personalized marketing and promotional campaigns
• Understanding visitor preferences
• Improved in-store experiences
• Contactless payments

Yes, iBeacon devices can work without requiring an app and broadcast signals into the environment.

However, users require an app and turned-on Bluetooth to make sense of the transmitted signals. Hence, it is crucial to demonstrate app value to encourage users to try your app.

Beacons are small devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. They can be mounted on walls from where they transmit unique identifiers into the environment. 

User devices detect these signals and use them for indoor navigation or activating proximity-based notifications.

Beacon tags can be placed on different equipment to quickly track their location. Or, retailers can put them on specific items and use them to activate content when a visitor starts an interaction with an item. 

Also, beacons can be equipped with different sensors that enable them to track environmental conditions and activate alerts when those start deviating from normal.

The price range for reliable iBeacon products ranges between $90 and $150 for a pack of three or four devices, which are required for the triangulation effect. Prices of a single item decrease for large orders.

The biggest problem that developers face on an iBeacon app project is precision.

There are several factors affecting the accuracy of detecting iBeacon signals:

• interferences from Wi-Fi routers using the same frequencies
• incorrect mounting of beacons
• lost contact with the user device in a busy place due to moving obstacles
• limited BLE capabilities in open and large spaces without walls

Here is what developers can do to improve precision:

• use different frequencies to eliminate interference
• use optimum height; increase beacons’ density in busy places
• tune signal range
• combine iBeacon with other indoor navigation technologies, such as geofencing and Wi-Fi

Depending on your requirements, you need: 

• 3 – 5 months for launching an MVP trading platform

The approximate costs of a custom iPhone app can be divided into three levels.

Here are the starting costs range based on an average Central and Eastern European hourly rate ($50):

• $20,000 for a basic app
• $40,000 for a medium-complexity app
• $75,000 for a complex app

Please remember that your costs can be different from the average, depending on what you want. If you are looking for an app estimate, we advise you to contact our mobile development department and discuss your needs with them.

Unfortunately, an answer is possible only after reading your requirements. Details affect an estimate. Therefore, if you want to determine your costs, please provide details.

1. If IT Craft engineers have worked on your app previously, you can send us details, and our team will send you an estimate soon.
2. If a different company has delivered your app, we will need a code inspection first to ensure the codebase quality allows us to develop and integrate the required features. The code inspection can take up to 40 hours, depending on the project's complexity.

Here is a minimum timeline needed to develop an iOS app:

• 160+ working hours for a simple prototype app
• 450+ working hours for an MVP/average-complexity app
• 1,000+ working hours for a full-fledged app

During the planning stage, you need to prepare essential project information and find time to discuss it with our experts so that they can prepare an estimate. A series of calls can be required to clarify all project details. 

Once Android app development starts, you or your team members will need to participate in daily or weekly calls to make timely project decisions. 

Also, you will need to provide feedback on the completed functionality quickly for the sake of the project pace.

Depending on the selected delivery approach, we can use: 

• Java/Kotlin for a native app
• React Native/Flutter/Ionic/.NET MAUI for cross-platform development
• HTML/CSS/JavaScript for hybrid development

Also, we use:

• Symfony, Laravel, Node.js, .NET frameworks for back-end development
• PayPal, Stripe for payment gateways
• MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL for database development
• Docker, AWS/MS Azure, Jenkins, Terraform for DevOps and infrastructure maintenance

Here is how long it can take to develop an Android app, depending on its complexity:

• simple apps require 1 – 2 months
• medium-complexity apps take 3 – 5 months
• complex apps need 6+ months

An exact timeline depends on your requirements and can be different from the above estimates. Still, if a specific deadline is critical, you can discuss your situation with the IT Craft team, and they will suggest how you can do it.

Yes, absolutely. We can send your Android app and the required app materials to the Google Play store for review.

Yes, we provide ongoing Android app support and maintenance as part of our tech services. 

We can assign required specialists to be available 24/7/365 under an SLA agreement or on an "as-needed basis" — whatever fits best your needs.

There is no best or worst platform to build an app. However, some platforms could best fit your needs, depending on your requirements, planned integrations, or available source code:

• Choose native app development when relying on smartphone hardware or requiring the best look and feel and app performance
• Choose cross-platform to decrease the scope of work or when some app code is available in a non-native language, e.g., C#, TypeScript, or Python
• Choose PWA when you want to convert your website into an app cost-effectively while improving user interactions and providing offline mode

Cross-platform means software developers use languages other than Swift/Objective C and Kotlin/Java to launch mobile apps. Special frameworks/engines translate cross-platform code into native code, or it is executed through a built-in runtime machine.

Normally, maintenance costs 15% – 20% of cross-platform app development costs per year.

However, it can increase if the produced source code has low quality, contains a large amount of tech debt, or rests on outdated technologies, requiring app modernization.

App expansion is an unpredictable operation, requiring a careful estimate. Hence, if you want to know how much app expansion could cost, we advise you to initiate the discovery stage.

IT Craft offers its clients two options:

• The time-and-material model fits best for large projects where the scope of work and priorities can change. The client pays regularly for the hours developers spend completing project activities within a milestone.
• The fixed-price model is possible when the team completes project discovery and we agree on the estimated project scope and price.
