Challenges
The client needed an app for lobbyists to keep track of public policy issues. They wanted
this application to have features to enable the lobbyists to track bills, regulations, and
hearings across all fifty states, and to maintain profiles and positions of legislators. The
features should be guiding the users to identify individuals with similar views so that they
can collaborate on key issues. Our challenge was to create an extensive application that
enables them to have up-to-date information on government affairs. The application aims
to assist those who are actively involved with government affairs including lobbyists,
legislators, advocacy groups, agency department heads, contributors, other coalition
partners, etc.
Softweb has developed the application, Spinnaker, to fulfill Jasos Group’s unique
requirements and necessities satisfactorily. Our development team thoroughly analyzed
the functional requirement and worked on them in order to come up with an ultimate
application which allows the users to remain current on the critical elements of the issues
and activities they need to manage. The solution we provided ensured the users to have
an easy to navigate and secured application which they will be using for managing
various aspects of government affairs. We have provided them with the right solution for
a fast, reliable, and secured data access through Spinnaker. We built up the application
which has features like issue alerts, real time updates, filters by, enter a note, view a
hearing, read a bill, track bills, access contact and location info, etc.
