Challenges
Athlete’s Application
Life on the Road: The Athlete's Journey
Both amateur and professional sportsmen have their share of life on the road. From time to time, they can go to the competitions or make a traditional trip to the cult locations of their respective sport.
Managing the Madness: Behind the Scenes of Athlete Logistics
It is an excitement for the athletes and lots of work for the managing person. They need to find the sports facility, accommodation, and specific services, and think of a transfer to the place (sometimes by bringing people from different locations together).
Off-Season Training: Making Every Moment Count
A lot of athletes or teams need to continue training off-season when the weather in their home country is not suitable for full-scale training sessions.
Aspiring for Excellence: Seeking New Challenges
Some professional teams would like to have a chance to train with famous coach or to get a new challenge in a friendly match with the local team.
Arranging those complex trips takes hours of search, evaluation, and negotiations. Editing or cancelling the trip in case of some emergency is long and hard as well.
Providers’ Web Interface
Streamlined Display and Processing
Providers want to display their offerings to the audience quickly and usefully, and then process the requests in one unified interface and have the statistics at hand
Cost-Effective Listing and Pricing
Offering a cost-effective solution for providers to list their services without hefty fees, with flexible pricing options for customers, enhancing marketing strategies
Efficient Communication Channels
Another big challenge is the closest communication for providers, with the Smart Sports Camps model provider just lists the services or facility, takes orders, and all communication if needed can be handled by support specialists
Insightful Metrics and Analytics
For every marketing tool any business use there is always the need for great statistics and metrics. Providers need to know how effective the marketplace is. That is why, on the SmartsSportCamps development we asked providers what will be the best possible infographics charts for them

We planned to work for both amateur and professional athletes. They can have different requirements for the details: some may be happy to specify only the most basic things while others may require setting the more specific properties (say, the exact surface material or marking of the field).
We made the system from scratch, including the development, QA testing, and UI/UX design for the user app, provider’s web interface, and admin web interface. We started with the research on the main areas that the athlete/team representatives need to cover to arrange the sports trip:

Results
The SportVenture Pro platform has already been a success among athletes and service providers in the Mediterranean countries. Both users and providers are happy with the system’s ease of use: it saves a huge amount of time to book, re-book, edit, or cancel the trip. The system gets more and more providers worldwide. Given the pretty universal architecture of the system, there are plans to integrate new travel and sports-related services into the platform in the future.
