For years, the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) has worked to bring Quaker communities together across borders. Blue Raster has been a trusted partner in this mission, helping to design tools that make it easier for people to find and connect with Quaker meetings worldwide. (learn more here)
The journey started with a Quaker Meeting Finder application built in ArcGIS Experience Builder. It offered an accessible way for users to search and discover meetings.
From Experience Builder to Custom Development
The next step was clear: move beyond the limitations of Experience Builder and create a custom application designed to scale. Using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, Blue Raster is delivering advanced search and display options that meet user needs while opening the door to long-term innovation.
A Fully Localized Experience
A truly global tool must speak the language of its users. The new Quaker Meeting Finder platform supports multilingual capabilities, including character sets like Korean, Japanese, and Cyrillic. Everything from language to time zone to numeric formatting adjusts to match what users expect in their daily lives.
Re-Engineering the Data Model
At the heart of this new application is a re-engineered data model. By shifting to a relational approach, FWCC gains:
- More efficient data storage
- flexible system ready for future growth
This foundation creates space for enhancements like dynamic reporting, richer analytics, and integrations with other platforms-ensuring the meeting finder will continue to grow with the global Quaker community.
