Digital marketing services.

We were approached to design and develop the school’s first app, focusing on aiding pupils in their introduction to RGS while serving as a digital resource hub. The app was designed to offer a user-friendly experience, featuring:

• A detailed and interactive map of the school grounds
• A contact form for quick communication
• A dynamic calendar synced with the school’s website to display upcoming events and important dates

Two years after the initial app launch on the Apple App Store, RGS returned to us with a request to enhance the app further. This enhancement involved integrating iBeacons, Bluetooth transmitters placed strategically around the campus. These beacons were intended to assist with guided tours for parents and pupils, enriching their experience with interactive content linked to specific locations within the school.

Our solution leveraged iBeacon technology to display location-specific content directly to users’ devices. For example, if a pupil or parent entered the gym during a guided tour, the app would detect the nearby iBeacon and automatically deliver relevant media – such as a short video or a descriptive text passage – to the user’s device. This innovation not only enhanced the tour experience but also introduced pupils and visitors to the capabilities of IoT (Internet of Things) technology.

The app has become an integral part of the school’s ecosystem, widely used by students, staff and parents alike. The seamless integration of iBeacons has transformed campus tours, providing an engaging and informative experience for new pupils and visitors. The app’s success also marked a significant step for indigoRiver, showcasing our expertise in iBeacon integration and IoT solutions.

Through this project, RGS has been able to blend tradition with technology, reinforcing their reputation as an institution that values both heritage and innovation.
