Momentum

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Technology and Strategy Director at Cadi59. We aim to bring golf club professionals and golf club members closer together by giving them a platform to interact on a level that is essential in today’s world.

Club professionals will understand their members from the click of a button, giving them the ability to achieve multi-channel sales. Members will be able to use Cadi59 to communicate with their club professionals to book lessons, make purchases and much more. They will also have a one-stop-shop for managing their game, after all, that is what a Cadi is there for.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Applover, and what were your goals?

We hired Applover to develop a mobile app and a web application, that would help bring our Cadi59 vision to life. A platform for helping both club professionals and club members.

Our main goal was to develop functional MVPs of mobile and web applications, test them with users, collect feedback and develop the digital products further. We want to create one product that will allow golfers to enjoy their passion in a more advanced, digitalized way.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We have found Applover on the internet using websites such as Clutch to inform our decision. Their propositions were more convincing than we expected - reasonable pricing, high level of communication, workshops to research our needs and all possibilities for our digital products.

During the workshops, the most crucial aspects of an application were clarified and we knew that we could not select a better vendor for this project.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The project was divided into the development of mobile and web applications.

The mobile app is for use by club members and is the recipient of what was created by the club owner in the web part. Mobile users can:

• have access to the dashboard with the most important information
• see what teachers are available in the club and they can send a lesson request to selected teachers
• have access to the news feed - replenish the equipment and goals
• have access to offers from the club and can submit their interest in a given offer
• create an equipment wishlist
• check the status of the golf course (the one that is set on the web by the manager).

The web app serves as a system for managing the entire golf club. The users of the app are to be managers or owners of these clubs. They can, inter alia:

• accept/reject requests from mobile users (club members) to be added to the club
• create offers for users that will appear in the mobile application
• set the status of the golf course, i.e. what conditions prevail (rain, dry, wet, you can drive carts, etc.)
• add golf teachers in the club and manage requests for lessons from mobile users - create posts and news feed (news and articles about the life of the golf club)
• create a list of e-commerces recommended by the club.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with a Project Manager, 2 Front-end Developers, 1 Back-end Developer, 1 Flutter Developer, a QA Specialist and a UX/UI Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The team managed to deliver the digital products within the deadline, the MVPs look and function properly, we are now ready to test the applications with users. The workflow between us in the UK and Applover in Poland was effective, despite the distance.

We managed to collaborate remotely, we communicated on Slack, and from time to time we had w demo calls when we could see the progress and ask questions, clarify what needed to be done. Moreover, we could track tasks on Jira, as all of our communication with the Applover team was in English.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Development was completed using the SCRUM methodology with 2 week sprints. Applover managed this process and I would attend Sprint reviews to provide any feedback on the development.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I like that they are engaged. It really feels like they are a part of my team. They want our digital product to succeed. They are very attentive to my needs, and they proposed several enhancements which were really valuable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Our cooperation was highly efficient. I don’t see any areas for improvement.
