Qualogy's Senior Mendix consultant Nils Klatter works at Kadaster on modernising a field application for surveyors. The outdated on-premise Windows application is being replaced by a future-proof Mendix cloud application. Read his story. Kadaster registers and manages who holds which rights to all real estate (land and buildings) in the Netherlands. This information is available to everyone. Nils: "I work on applications that I could become a user of myself. That makes it extra fun."

Modern, data-driven organisation

IT professionals quickly feel at home at Kadaster. Nils: "You might not immediately think of Kadaster that way. But it is a very modern, data-driven organisation with an open culture. Mendix fits well with this type of organisation, where the business understands the importance of IT. Users also know how to find us. Since 2017, 25 Mendix applications have been delivered. Every quarter, 1 or 2 more are added."

The Mendix team

Nils works together with 4 Mendix professionals in a DevOps team on the development of Mendix applications. "We always do this in pairs. This ensures knowledge transfer within the team. There is a scrum master, and of course architects, product owners, the management team and the business are involved in the development. I am currently working on the relays management application."

Relays management application

Kadaster surveyors establish boundaries. A relays record consists of a field sketch with the surveyors' data. Nils: "The relays management application is the field application for the surveyors. The current outdated Windows application runs on-premise on end-of-life tablets. We are rebuilding the old application as a modern cloud application in Mendix. This also paves the way for further development."

From intake to management

As a Mendix consultant, you are in direct contact with the users of the application. Nils: "I am involved from intake to management. At the weekly demos, we present the delivered processes to the users. The key users see the application grow. This creates involvement in the development, and we can immediately incorporate feedback."

Further application development

The testing phase of the new application has just started with 20 surveyors. Nils: "An exciting moment. At the same time, there are still plenty of development wishes on the list, such as: making the application available offline. saving notes in PDF format. building connections between the relays management application and other applications for less administration. making it easier to implement changes."

Quality control improvement

One of the biggest advantages of the new application is an improvement in quality control. Nils: "After entering a relays record, a substantive quality check is carried out by a team. Subject matter assistants then look at all geo-related matters. In the previous application, everyone worked in the same note field. Now everyone has their own place in the application. Shadow IT is therefore a thing of the past." Would you like more information about what Mendix can mean for your organisation? Contact us via 070 319 5000.
