Business Overview – Versafit
Our client Versafit is based in California, USA.. Versafit is a sports and fitness company promoting a healthy lifestyle, connecting people together, and encouraging active living.
Objective
Their main aim was to quickly connect the people on-demand for similar fitness goals – a platform where people from all walks of life can connect and have fun doing the things they love!
The Challenge
Our client wanted to create a platform that team up and connect like-minded health enthusiasts for fitness engagements. They had their own wireframes and mockups, as well as documentation of technical requirements.
However, they just had an idea, no concrete plan about how to proceed.
And, we helped them Build a social-fitness app. Yes, the challenge wasn’t easy to overcome. There were hitches like simple UI and Interactive UX, data security, Location accuracy, social integration, and so on…
Our Approach
Our client got in touch with us through Elance in October 2015. They had an idea and we had implementation strength. Together we build an awesome social fitness mobile app.
The MVP was released in January 2016 included browsing maps and feeds in order to see available users within an area, as well as an Instagram-like feature that showed inspirational videos and pictures that people posted, promoting health and wellness.
