Client

Our client is a successful manufacturer of an innovative sports IoT device named Sportstation. They sell licenses to sports clubs and schools which use the device as a tool to record and compare athletes' and students’ sporting performance. Many clubs like FC Bayern and Real Madrid already use it for training.

Challenge

To widespread the adoption of the product among end-users the Client wanted a “viral effect”. The gamification was supposed to be the means by which it can be done.

The gamification method implies that a participant can see their own results compared with the results of other participants who took part in the same activity.

However, the technical characteristics of this sports IoT device did not initially allow participants to compare their own results with the results of other participants. And moreover they could not even see their own progress over time.

The Client wanted to hire dedicated mobile app developers who have a successful track record in creating both IOS and Android applications as well as Java backend-developers and web developers, and also those who have experience dealing with sports tech companies and manufacturers of IOT devices.

Belitsoft fully fitted the requirements.

Process

This project was developed under Agile methodology and the cooperation model was Time&Material.

For communication, we used Skype, email, Slack, and Jira, as well as phone calls.

We used the following technologies: ReactJS, Spring Framework, MySQL, AWS EC2, AWS SDK, Google MAPS API, APNS, IOS/Android

Results

We developed IOS and Android applications which can communicate with the sports IoT device.

Mobile applications require backend solutions to store and manage data in the cloud (for example, in our case - Amazon Web Services). Java backend frameworks for enterprise development such as Spring are used to build RESTful APIs that can get data from the IOT device, store it in the cloud database and send it to mobile applications.

Using Spring framework we developed RESTful APIs to update mobile applications.

The participants of sports events could now register and authorise using the mobile application. They also could look at their past results to compare with their current one or with the results of other participants.

The system is widely used at schools for physical education classes. There are currently more than 13.000 registered users.

We also made custom integration with several third-party systems, e.g. with the system of the children’s football camp of Real Madrid. Every day the results of the children training in the Real Madrid camps are tracked using the Sportstation device, and imported into the club’s database. We used the API provided by the club to get data about users in their database, mix them with the data from the Sports device, and then bring back the updated data into the club’s database.
