A start up ISV in fitness and wellness domain
Providing technology based analyticssolutions for athletes and gyms to optimizetheir workout training
The technology stack of the application wasnot scalable to meet future needs. It alsosuffered from high latency and UI/UX issuessuch as lack of intuitive navigation, RWDcompliance etc.
A web based scalable and responsive fitness analytics application
After due-diligence Harbinger proposed the redevelopment ofthe entire application to ensure a robust, flexible and scalablesystem. MongoDB was used to store and accommodate different
workout types and their associated unstructured data Implemented a user management system in rails and
combined it with an access management system forseamless on-boarding process of gym affiliates
Utilized wireframes approach to design layout andoptimize placements of components followed by validationfrom actual users ie. Coach and athletes
Built the application in responsive manner andutilized a third party jQuery plugin to constructgraphs and charts to present statistical data to theusers
Integrated open source plug-in for calendar viewand grid view with search functionality
Progressive loading form implemented usingHTML5 and JavaScript. It prevented page stack upfrom the time it loads, thus keeping the pageclean and making it easier for users to navigatethrough various features on the screen
Implemented an in-house built plugin using jQuery thatreciprocates user interactions with the HTML form andconverts that data into textual workout summary
Integrated 3rd party application Disqus, a socialcommenting system with single sign on feature and Olark,a live chat support system for users to interact andcollaborate their experiences and results
Managing user session & ownership of data for individualathletes to access and punch in details through kiosks
