The challenge

Avalanche bulletins, regional information and weather station readings need to be current, easy to understand and accessible while travelling. Specialist requirements, different user groups and long-term operations all shape the product.

My contribution

At TouristMobile I worked on an SMS and MMS subscription platform, a mobile client for avalanche commissions and an information service for the state of Tyrol. At M-Pulso and within the duftner.digital group, I oversaw and supported development for many years. I translated specialist requirements into practical solutions and coordinated the teams and partners involved.

Implementation

The public app combines avalanche bulletins, station readings, regional information and additional tools. User feedback, changes to available data and technical requirements guide ongoing development.
