Comprehensive sports-ecosystem platform.
A 360° platform connecting players, coaches, clubs, and sponsors across web, iOS, and Android — built native on each surface, with a Laravel API and AWS infrastructure underneath.
What the founder came to us with.
The sports ecosystem is a multi-sided market — players, coaches, clubs, federations, sponsors — and each side has different expectations of what a digital experience should feel like. Players want a polished native app on their phone. Clubs and federations want a real desktop tool to run operations. Sponsors want analytics dashboards and reach.
The founder needed all of that to ship coherently as one platform, not as four products glued together — and they needed it in a stack the engineering team could actually staff and run as the company grew.
How we built it.
Native mobile on each platform — Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android — because the player experience is the product and a polished native feel is non-negotiable for that audience.
Angular on the web for the desktop-heavy roles: club admins, federation operators, sponsor analytics. Web is treated as a first-class surface, not a fallback.
A Laravel API binds it all together with one consistent contract for every client, plus the admin tooling the operations team needs from week one.
AWS for infrastructure — managed databases, containerised services, a CDN for media, autoscaling for match-day spikes. Boring, predictable, hireable.
What shipped, and what it means.
The platform launched across all four surfaces with a consistent feel and a single source of truth on the backend. The founder ran the engagement from seed through Series-A preparation with one named lead and a stable squad — no quiet substitutions, no cross-vendor handoffs.
The architecture survived the scale-up: native clients on the surfaces where polish matters, web on the surface where dense workflow matters, one API behind everything, on a cloud the team could grow into rather than out of.
