THE CHALLENGE

Users and teams needed reliable location-tagged photography that worked offline, handled large media, and allowed powerful search without building everything from scratch.

WHAT WE DELIVERED

A production-grade mobile app.

Photoloc is a geospatial media platform. It lets users capture, search, and share location-aware photos at scale with a full pipeline from mobile capture to cloud storage and intelligent retrieval.

We delivered mobile clients, a robust backend, S3-backed media pipeline, advanced geocoding and search, and the workflows that make the whole thing usable in the field.
