Success Story

Pushing the Boundaries with a Forge-Based Solution

Pushing the Boundaries with a Forge-Based Solution

Customer challenge

TechSimple offers a wide range of services and information on the Internet and business process topics. Their existing application had limited functionality — couldn’t work with architectural drawings and models. Used to provide the top services, the client needed to develop a web-based interactive tool that will allow home builders to fit a customer’s dream home on a preferred lot while preventing mistakes and saving process time and cost.

Project goals

The project goal was to implement a cloud-based web application for real estate companies that enhance buyer experience by leveraging existing engineering files to represent a 3D depiction of the dream home and lot. As a result, AMC Bridge was instrumental in developing LotFits™, a SaaS solution that determines whether a building can be built on a parcel of land by comparing this building design footprint against a permissible build envelope of this parcel.

Solution

AMC Bridge team conducted extensive research on Autodesk Forge Viewer (2D, 3D) and Autodesk Forge APIs (Data Management, Design Automation, Model Derivative) to provide the client with deep Autodesk Forge expertise, essential for this project. The project stages included: communities creation, fitting process improvement, implementation of additional features, and the interactive map (option to place a home and inspect it in three different modes).

Business outcome

AMC Bridge designed a highly specialized web application to meet fully specific customer needs. The features included the improved fitting process, which helps to see whether a home fits a lot, the enhanced 3D Viewer, which enables dynamic 3D rendering, and the functionality to apply textures and Google Earth overlay.

Conclusion

Initially, LotFits was created for specific real estate companies, but after its implementation, TechSimple decided to sell the application on a subscription basis. Thus, TechSimple has an excellent opportunity to expand its customer list.
