SKILL SETS:
- Adobe FLEX
- MS SQL or MY SQL
Out company needs an expert in Building Mobile Applications using adobe FLEX. We want to use FLEX so we can develop in iOS and then easily recompile to other platforms.
We now have about 12 forms we need on mobile devices. A typical form would be a Work Site Inspection Form (Example Below).
HERE ARE THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
Platforms: iOS first, then Android, and Windows PC and Tablet.
Communication: Asynchronous, Must save and store data while out of Wi-fi range (a few days, multiple form records), then sync when back in Wi-fi range.
Database: MS SQL is the final objective, but any data construct will work as long as we can ETL to our Data Warehouse.
Deployment: Remote deployment of multiple forms to desired device.
Images: Need to attach multiple images to saved forms (i.e. Accidents, injuries, conditions).
Bar-coding: Allow for barcode scanning for elements such as inventory control and security.
GPS: Ability to capture GPS location in a field.
Authentication: Some way to authenticate user (i.e. Badge scan, password, e-signature, etc.)
Example Form: [login to view URL]
We want you to build our overall structure and build 6 forms first.
After our first form and depending on your pricing, we will have you build our other forms and consult with us so that we can modify forms and redeploy them and even build some of the forms in-house. However , we prefer to just hand off the forms designs as we get the requirements.
We’d like to know about your development philosophy because this will be an on-going relationship, so let me ask a couple questions about your approach:
* Your experience with Mobile Apps that are forms to send info to databases.
* Why do you think FLEX is the best tool to use?
* How long will it take to create an iOS app one form similar to the one above.
* Tell us what skills sets make you good for transferring physical forms to mobile applications. For example, we don’t need you to mindlessly recreate the form. We need you to think though how the form will best layout in the mobile app.
* Can you create an app where the user sees certain fields based on answers to previous questions? This kind of thing would save real-estate.
* Would you sync the app to our MS SQL database or do something like just have the app send a CSV file to a repository, so that we could ETL it from our end.
Thank you, I look forward to working with you on this ongoing project.

Hi,
To answer YOUR questions:
1. Quite a number of applications with a various developers on our panel.
2. FLEX is one of the best since it provides precompiled components and SDK for distributing to IOS, Android and Black Berry just by compiling and a number of core tools.
3. The first form to be developed as similar to the example given above will be most time consuming for like 20 days b/c it will require a lot of conditions, scenarios, etc. with the basic requirements to be employed there but afterwards the forms would be developed faster in a matter of as much as 4 to 6 days maximum.
4. Like I said before we have a panel of different developers which gives us an edge to provide different and cutting edge ideas and implementation methodologies like using CSS to judge mobile type etc.
5. Yes that sort of app can be made.
6. Yes we can provide export options for your app so it can send data or csv files for your perusal.
Kindly take a look at our offer. Please feel free to ask of any further queries.
Hoping to hear positive feedback from YOU.
Regards.
