The Ask
TCarta asked us to build a custom ArcGIS Pro add-in to make their proprietary coastal mapping tools securely available and conveniently accessible for their customers. This add-in was to be made available through the ArcGIS Online Marketplace.
Our Solution
- Researched short-term and long-term licensing & distribution options, intellectual property security, automated testing, and appropriate software architecture.
- Developed a custom ArcGIS Pro add-in for convenient access to TCarta’s proprietary coastal mapping tools.
- Researched appropriate algorithms for elevation profiling, raster difference calculation, and hydrographic/bathymetric/topographic application integration tools.
- Researched subscription models and subscription verification for ArcGIS add-ins.
The Successful Results
As pictured above, we created a custom ArcGIS Pro add-in for convenient access to TCarta’s coastal analysis tools. The tools were implemented alongside a custom authentication tool allowing the user to log in to their TCarta account and easily unlock the tools.
