Case Study | Statsports
ABOUT
In an era where sports and technology are increasingly intertwined, HST Solutions was tasked with developing an innovative and comprehensive mobile application for Statsports. The application, named Statsports Academy, was designed to enhance the training routines of athletes and coaches by providing them with a wealth of drills and masterclasses right at their fingertips.
The contract required the delivery of a comprehensive app for both iOS and Android platforms, incorporating unique features such as advanced sports drills, masterclasses, and exclusive content from Statsports Athletes. The app’s complexity and scale were considerable, given the integration of diverse components and a user-friendly interface tailored to meet the needs of sports enthusiasts.
Scale and Complexity
The app required several complex features and integrations:
DaCast Video Player Integration
This demanded careful encoding and secure integration to ensure seamless video streaming and user experience.
Qonversion Payment Integration
Implementing a reliable and secure payment gateway that could handle a high volume of transactions was crucial.
Backend API Development
On this project, we developed a unified CMS (Content Management System) that provides a comprehensive solution for managing and publishing content across mobile and web platforms. Within this CMS, all content and assets are efficiently organized and managed. To distribute this content, we implemented a content API that enables seamless integration across various channels such as websites, mobile applications, and potential future platforms like email marketing systems and CRM systems. With this CMS, businesses can easily manage their content and have the flexibility to deliver it to multiple platforms, ensuring a consistent and cohesive user experience now and in the future
Comprehensive User Interface
The UI had to be intuitive, attractive, and engaging, with multiple categories, search functionality, and personalised content.
Methodology Deployed
HST Solutions used an Agile Development Methodology for this project, allowing us to tackle challenges iteratively and incrementally. This approach offered numerous advantages, including improved flexibility, faster issue resolution, and consistent progress tracking. Key stages of our methodology included:
Requirement Gathering and Analysis:
Our team spent significant time understanding the specific needs of Statsports, which helped in shaping the app’s features and functionalities.
Design and Development:
We designed a user-friendly interface and developed the app’s various components, keeping in mind the scale and complexity of the project.
Testing and Quality Assurance:
Regular testing was carried out to ensure all features worked seamlessly. This allowed us to maintain a high standard of quality and security throughout the app.
Deployment and Maintenance:
Post-deployment, our team provided ongoing maintenance and support to ensure smooth functioning and updates as required.
Solution

We dedicated a page to each coach, including their descriptions, their masterclasses, and other relevant videos to promote in-depth learning and engagement.
Search Page:
A dedicated search page facilitates user navigation through the app.
The onboarding process was streamlined to ensure users subscribe to the application, with integrated payments through Qonversion for a smooth transition.
