Mobile Athlete Performance Management App

Tracks athletes' workout progress, syncs to web analytical platform

The client markets an Athlete Management System that helps improve sports results. It is a performance monitoring, analytical, and coaching tool for trainers and athletes.

Problem

The client needed to extend the platform's capabilities with a mobile application.

The application’s main goal was to help athletes coordinate their workout schedules with coaches.

Solution

Mobile-Athlete-performance-Management-App

The mobile app (iOS, Android) targets professional athletes who need to follow a workout program, track progress, and get professional coaching to improve their performance.

The mobile app syncs to the web-based Athlete Management System. To be able to use the app, the athlete needs to have an account in the system.

Usage

The athletes use the app to view their daily training sessions and log their progress. The application supports working in an offline mode to sync data once a connection is available. This is helpful for controlling traffic, especially when traveling abroad. While syncing to the Athlete Management System, the app enables athletes to download new training programs and upload the performance data over a mobile or Wi-Fi connection.

Tech Facilitators

Using Telerik UI for Xamarin helped decrease time and effort implementing the core application functionality for two platforms—iOS and Android. The toolkit helps build native cross-platform mobile apps for various scenarios across platforms employing a single shared C# code base.

Challenges

Connecting the Dots

Softeq team worked together with the customer's team, that carried out business analysis, back-end development, and UI/UX design. Softeq’s software engineers had to sync their implementation schedule with that of the remote team to balance the deliverables implementation.

Enhancing Security

The solution employs 2-factor authentication: OAuth 2.0 and Touch ID or PIN code access.

The OAuth 2.0 authorization enables strong data security: it performs multiple credential verifications before granting access to the back-end data—unique ID, temporary tokens, and user name/password combination.
