Atlas Copco is a multinational industrial tool and equipment manufacturing company, headquartered in Nacka, Sweden. Founded in 1873, Atlas Copco operates in more than 20 countries with around 44,000 employees. The company accounted a revenue of SEK 94 billion in 2014, and it serves businesses in more than 180 countries.

Atlas Copco manufacturers and develops industrial tools, air compressors, and construction and mining equipment such as rock drills and assembly systems. And, also offers related service and equipment rental.

The main purpose behind the development of Pit Viper Application was to present the features and functionalities of the company’s Pit Viper Series Blasthole Drills to the prospective customers. Instead of PPT or booklet, Atlas Copco wanted to use a handheld device iPad to demonstrate large and mid-range Blasthole Drills to customers.

The app was intended to include the inside information of all parts of Blasthole Drills, 3D models of the products, RCS view and links to external sites for more information. And, also to help customers to read the products’ case studies. Overall, the app was focused to give customers and sales team a better understanding of the components and option to request more information on a particular product at any time.

After the deep study of Atlas Copco’s customers and Pit Viper Series Blasthole Drills, FuGenX built a comprehensive strategy to develop the required app. The strategy was centered on making app easier to use for both Atlas Copco salesman and prospective customers. The main challenges faced in developing Pit Viper app was creating products’ 3D models, and making it easy to view and navigate between pages.

FuGenX followed the Scrum Methodology to develop Pit Viper application to add all the required features and functionalities to accomplish the need of the app.
