Case Study: the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development improves shark activity alerts with Adapptor’s SharkSmart WA app

Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development launches SharkSmart WA with Adapptor, reaching 150,000 downloads

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development sought to make its shark activity data more accessible to Western Australian beach-goers, leading them to engage vendor Adapptor for React Native app development. The challenge was to create a simple yet powerful application that would serve the public and coastal user groups by providing real-time alerts and critical information.

Adapptor developed the SharkSmart WA app, which integrates diverse data streams and uses a custom algorithm to deliver timely push notifications about shark activity based on user preferences and saved locations. The solution, built on a robust AWS infrastructure, was highly successful, achieving over 150,000 downloads and maintaining an average rating of 4.7 stars in the app stores.
