WEB PLATFORM AND APP DEVELOPMENT FOR BOOKING GOLF TEE TIMES

Client

LoopGolf Co. is a dynamic company dedicated to redefining the golfing experience for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Founded by a passionate sports amateur, the company's mission is to provide a seamless and enjoyable platform for golf lovers to indulge in their passion. With a sharp focus on quality, convenience, and community, LoopGolf curates a space where business owners can engage with a thriving network of like-minded individuals.

Challenge

The LoopGolf platform functions as a comprehensive aggregator for various golf tee time vendors, along with additional features designed to engage users effectively. Our primary goal was to develop a cutting-edge product that offers advanced and user-friendly search and reservation services for golf tee time bookings. However, throughout this project, two standout challenges presented themselves:

Developing an app specifically for the Apple Watch was new territory for the team. This required a blend of innovation and precision to ensure a seamless user experience.
Utilizing location tracking to improve service quality resulted in generating much data, which needed a fresh approach to maintain good performance. The Spiral Scout team adopted a meticulous, step-by-step approach to address these issues, ultimately achieving stability and reliability in the platform's functionality.

Strategy

The strategic approach revolved around a practical and efficient team augmentation approach; our expert team provided the resources of our most seasoned developers to integrate them into the client's team and processes.

The client's team retained control over core technologies and methodologies, steering the project's process, while our team complemented their established framework, providing support in areas of greatest relevance.

Solutions

Technologies

Tech stack included: iOS, WatchOS, Swift, Firebase, Realm.
GraphQL for simple dynamic API responses handling.
XCode Cloud
CI tool

Our solution stands out as a distinctive product in the aggregator landscape, exceeding even their oldest competitors in the market. A standout feature of this mobile app is its ability to live-stream games to other users, serving as a unique selling point and way to connect users.

The platform's implementation process followed an experimental format, wherein numerous concepts emerged spontaneously and were promptly incorporated during the development phase.

Results

The web developers we added to their team in a staff augmentation model worked within the client's preferred development methodology while adding skillsets that their team lacked. The additional talent was a pivotal factor, contributing to the project's success in this case.

The Spiral Scout team delivered an innovative mobile application that has not only gotten high user ratings in the app store but has also paved the way for our client to add to their growing user base.
The development of an Apple Watch application greatly enhanced user satisfaction, allowing golfers to use the app more naturally on the golf course without the need to carry a phone.
We built a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process in this project that has proven to be a game-changer, offering substantial benefits that extend beyond this specific project to a wide range of mobile application endeavors.
