Comprehensive sports management software

Sports Management Software for Tennis Enthusiasts

Players, coaches, and parents often spend hours on emails and phone calls to find tennis partners, schedule matches, or locate courts. There are also scenarios where players play against the same people over and over as they aren’t aware of other players in their region who are of similar age and have similar playing skills. To overcome these problems, the client wanted to develop a solution that can help players find partners, locate courts, and schedule matches with just one to two clicks on their laptop or phone.

The Client

The client is a technology startup based in California, USA. They wanted to develop a web and mobile-based solution for tennis players, especially young tennis players who find it difficult to find competition outside of their routine peer group to continue to sharpen their skills.

Our Solution

Experion partnered with the client to define the requirements and design, develop & deploy the sports management software. As the application would be used by a diverse user base comprising young players, their parents, and their coaches, extensive research was carried out and various iterations of the UI/UX were developed to ensure it would be accepted by the target audience. The highly intuitive and responsive web application was put through multiple rounds of testing to ensure that the application was error-free, scalable, and devoid of any performance issues. The solution suite also included native iOS and Android applications for the stakeholders to conveniently access the functionality on the go.

The following are some of the key functionalities supported by the application:

Find partners by skill-levels, pre-defined player traits, city or distance
Schedule matches by sending a message directly to another player or broadcasting to a group
Option to add scheduled matches to a calendar and get notifications/ reminders
Capture post-match scores and insights including endorsing player traits
Search nearby courts by city or distances and view court facilities
Mark favorite partners for recurring play, etc.

After the initial piloting with selected user groups and locations, the application is currently live and the mobile applications are available for download on the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store. The solution has garnered a considerable user base since going live and has been recommended by many as a great tool for players to connect and get more opportunities to play.
