Case Study: rapidBizApps achieves reliable offline data sync and faster innovation for mining customers with Couchbase

Enabling mining companies to capture vital data underground

rapidBizApps builds intuitive mobile apps—like groundHog, rapidInspect, and formHound—that help mining companies capture vital equipment and workforce data in harsh, remote and often underground environments. The company struggled with unreliable connectivity and the costly, time-consuming burden of maintaining its own offline sync technology, which diverted resources from enhancing core user experiences.

rapidBizApps migrated to Couchbase for its robust built-in sync, on‑premises and cloud deployment options, and high resilience, completing the switch in under eight months with expert support. The move eliminated the need to build backend sync, accelerated product development, improved uptime and scalability for large data volumes (e.g., ~800GB per mine per year), and increased customer confidence—helping rapidBizApps refocus on innovation and grow sales with major clients such as Barrick Gold.
