01  Overview

Safetipin engagement context.

Safetipin provides urban safety data to cities and public-sector organizations, helping them make informed decisions about public safety and infrastructure.

The existing mobile app and data collection infrastructure needed modernization to improve the field experience, mapping quality, and data reliability.

Evolve Blue provided app modernization, mobile engineering, and data infrastructure improvement for the platform.

02  The Challenge

Safetipin constraints to solve.

  • The existing mobile app needed modernization for better field data collection.
  • Data collection infrastructure had limitations that affected data quality.
  • Safety mapping had to be clear, accurate, and usable for city planning decisions.
  • The platform needed to scale as more cities and data sources were added.
  • Field collectors needed a reliable, easy-to-use mobile experience.

03  The Solution

Safetipin solution architecture.

Evolve Blue modernized the mobile application, improving the field data collection experience with a more reliable, user-friendly interface.

Data collection infrastructure was updated to improve data quality and support larger volumes as the platform scaled to more cities.

Safety mapping was improved for clearer visualization, giving city planners actionable insights into urban safety patterns.
