Executive Summary
We intend to develop a user-friendly mobile application that targets pet lovers. The concept of this utility app is to add a higher level of protection for their dog or cat to prevent from losing them. The app will be developed using iOS and android platforms. The app will be integrated with GPS tracking terminal which allows user to identify the exact location of their pets.

Executive Summary The app also will communicate with the backend web application where the user could be able to register, add details about the pet such as medical records. The app will be integrated with GPS tracking terminal which allows user to identify the exact location of their pets. An external device “GPS collar device” or the “P.E.T Come Home Collar Device” is required for purchase in order to activate the full functionality of the app. How this will work is that a signal is transmitted from the collar of the animal. Here a transmitting device will be either built into or attached to the collar of the animal, which transmits a signal to a satellite which is then relayed back to a web service & the data is recorded. However the Free app will provide free daily tips and articles for users to read on. Users can also input medical records and relevant details of their pet. Multiple great features ported in one app.
Executive Summary Chances of losing a pet will always likely to happen and a possible percentage increase will continue due to the busy lifestyle of this modern times. Actually Dr. Weiss advises that pets should be microchipped and wear identification collars with easy-to-read contact information.
“We suggest that the tag should have the cell phone number of the pet parent, the cell number of an emergency contact, the land line of the pet parent, and if the person is comfortable doing so, the street address of their home,” she says.
Executive Summary
So these optimized solutions ensure safety and worry free for pet lovers out there. The premium and basic features of the mobile app is a combination of protection, information and awareness. We come to say that the app would be essential to a daily life of a Pet Lover.
Our goal is to engage users with our end product. We will focus more a long-term relationship and completely convert them as loyal users of P.E.T Come Home mobile app and its products. Product Branding will soon develop as the product provision the needs of the target user.
Executive Summary
In order to reach the ultimate goal, my team and I will create a MRD that will fully narrate the user story, turn the idea/story into results, launch the product/app and convert into sales and progressively generate ROI
1. Introduction P.E.T Come Home is a combination of a mobile app and GPS Collar device that will provide a new level of security and enhance your peace of mind by being able to locate your pet’s device location at anytime from almost anywhere via the internet, cellular phone, or from a fixed-wire telephone. This small, disk shaped device offers added security that has never before been available at this size and price and will locate both indoors and outdoors.
The P.E.T Come Home product receives radio signals from the Global Positioning Satellites orbiting the earth. Once the device is activated, the P.E.T Come Home network will begin receiving your devices location information by sending a private data code over the international GSM wireless cellular phone system to the P.E.T Come Home Network.

Then you enter your secured I.D. and Password to see or hear the location of your pet. One of the great features of P.E.T Come Home is the ability to setup map zones so that our P.E.T Come Home Network will alert you if your device enters or exits a customized Danger or Safety zone that you have created.

We utilize telecommunication services such as local and long distance transmission of voice, graphics, data by means of telephone, telegraphic, cable, and satellite transmissions. We also provide a computer service by acting as an application service provider in the field of knowledge management to host computer application software. This software searches and retrieves information from databases and computer networks
2.Overview The app will be developed using iOS and android platforms. The app will be integrated with GPS tracking terminal which allows user to identify the exact location of their pets. The app also will be integrated with the backend web application where the user could be able to register, add details about the pet such as Adding Medical Records, etc.,”.
The app also facilitates the user to set the demographic information of where the pet resides and also they would be able to set predefined distance, once the pet reaches predefined distance the user will get an alert on their mobile device.
Mobile App Functionalities
Once the User has downloaded the app from the App/Android store the app should direct them to the appropriate website based on their demographic. This is preferred but not essential as some users might want to enter data directly from their respective phones.
GPS tracking of the Pet (Dogs & Cats primarily). How this will work is that a signal is transmitted from the collar of the animal. Here a transmitting device will be either built into or attached to the collar of the animal, which transmits a signal to a satellite which is then relayed back to a web service & the data is recorded.
The distance travelled should be set at the Users discretion, but our suggestion would be for the App to have the following 'Distance Settings': 20metres, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters & or 'Other', as well as a function to switch the transmitter 'OFF'.
Mobile App Functionalities
On the Phone/Tablet side, once an animal breaches its preset boundary, an audible alert is sent to the device. This audible alert will be option based and selected from the website during the User entry stage.
On the Phone/Tablet side, once an animal breaches its preset boundary, an audible alert is sent to the device. This audible alert will be option based and selected from the website during the User entry stage. We will to record 3-4 tunes created as a .wav file on the website for the user to select from.
GPS should be constantly tracking the animal until found. From here the user can elect to switch off the app, or disable it for a predetermined time, say 30mins, which will allow them sufficient time to transport their pet home, or maybe it should just constantly track until the pet is once again located within its initial predetermined boundaries.

7. Distribution The First Phase of Development will focus on the iOS Platform. P.E.T. Come home will be published to the App Store and can be downloaded for free and paid version to avail the premium features together with the GPS Collar Device which will be delivered to the user upon purchasing
8. Tracking & Goals Whereas the mobile development team might want to gather data from the analytics in some of the following and probably a lot more.
How long does the user use the application - Free version
How long does the user use the application - Premium version
Which OS have the most no. of downloads and installs (iOS or An droid)
What features does the user love the most aside from the GPS functions (Camera Effects, Medical Information, etc.)
What is the demographic information or location of the user
What time does the active users use the application
How may bugs or crash reports sent by users (daily & monthly reports)
How many overall users are engage with the application (active users, frequent users, etc.)
8. Tracking & Goals Whereas the marketing team wants to know profile and information of our users in order to launch successful campaigns.
What are the gender and age range of our users
What kind of pet do they have (dog, cat, etc.)
What state and city have purchased the Premium App together with the GPS Collar Device
Where do we get referral links (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
8. Tracking & Goals Social Platforms
1. Facebook - Our main target because we can upload visuals and embed URL from the website. Excellent for marketing and launching campaigns
2. Twitter – One of the largest user database
Hash Tags we will use
#Pets (based on the analytics http://www.hashtags.org/analytics/PETS/)
#PETComeHome (name of the app)
#Petlovers
Facebook Insights
#PETS 24-Hour Trend Graph
8. Tracking & Goals We found some research that there are existing social websites for pets. Pet owners are very active on these sites and they create profiles and upload pictures of their pet. We will consider these sites to generate leads and launch campaigns. SOCIAL WEBSITES FOR PETS (in no particular order because we will still test which actual sites are effective for holding marketing campaigns)
