RouteShoot Ltd Embarks on World Bank OpenTRIP Contract

We are pleased to announce that we are, this week, starting out on a significant project which will see the RouteShoot solution being formally trialled by the World Bank. After several months confirming the client's requirements and an initial period of on-site testing in the Philippines we are really excited to see this project get underway.

About the OpenTRIP Project

The Philippines Department of Tourism and the Department of Public Works & Highways, with the support of USAID-REID and the World Bank, are prototyping a digital mapping and imaging platform to support the timely and accountable implementation of the Tourism Roads Infrastructure Program (TRIP) for 2013-2016.

OpenTRIP is also intended to provide key tourism development stakeholders, including the private sector, with an accessible overview of TRIP implementation. The initiative also responds to the Department of Budget & Management's efforts to demonstrate good practice in M&E and transparency of flagship convergence programs, included as part of Open Government Partnership commitments.

The OpenTRIP platform will demonstrate innovations around the use of geo-tagged digital video imagery and the application of cost-effective mobile devices. Basic OpenTRIP functionality will be centred on field operated, handheld devices which will allow for the uploading of RouteShoot photo & video content. Later extensions will allow for the tagging and uploading of on-the-ground conditions.
