Background
Client B operates within the Sports and Human Performance industry, providing physical training as well as performance metrics to their clients. They contacted us while in the process of developing an application for the data capture/analysis required for these metrics. The app, used in their training services, provides users with insights and reporting on their fitness program to improve operational effectiveness and mission readiness.
Challenge
GRIFFIN was contacted after the application was already running within a production environment. Jumping into a pre-set release cycle with aggressive go-to-market deadlines set by client contracts, including government organizations, posed a great challenge to the development process. The project also involved integration of the various mobile and web devices used in collecting performance metrics.
Solution
The application we built for the client includes various integrated features such as:
1. Attendance Recording and Tracking
2. Assessment Data Entry
3. Injury Recording and Tracking
4. Nutritional Recording and Tracking
5. General Reporting on Session Attendance, Injuries, and Utilization
6. Graphical Analytics on Individual or Group Assessments
7. Notifications and Referral
8. Creating and Planning Exercise Programs
The app integrates with InBody to track body metrics, and Qlik, which provides custom business intelligence reporting. We also had to enhance their data warehousing methods to better suit the reporting functions.
Resolution
After two years of development the application is now widely used by collegiate athletic programs, military units, and other fitness-oriented organizations. Our primary development efforts on the project included:
1. Implementation of a new nutritional module feature
2. Enhancement of the assessment entry process
3. Enhancement of the injury module
4. Enhancement of the data warehousing – allowing for advanced BI reporting
5. Implementation of a tool for managing performance indicators and standards
