Academity
Academity is an application that is both B2B and B2C that is designated to solve the problems of sports academy owners and academy players. The business need for it was the lack of technological advancement in the sports academy field.
B2B- Academy owners were not able to keep up with their students per different classes, their registration dates, who has attended and who hasn’t, who is yet to pay their fees and more. These problems came up because they were using the traditional route of having loads of papers which was especially difficult for big academies who had a number of classes and students. Moreover, there was no official form of communication between academies and their students/ students’ parents, which has made for miscommunication many times. We have realized this gap came up mostly because the academy owners are not businessmen, they are just sports coaches who want to focus on training the sport for their students.
B2C- The students/ the student’s parents also couldn’t keep up with the fees and which kid has which class and whether there were any changes in the schedule etc. but the main point for the customers is to have a platform where they can visit to find the various kinds of sports in Bahrain, the locations, prices, classes and prices of these academies.
Software for academies to set up their businesses on, where they will have an online website portal and an application. The portal will be used for the academy owners and the application for the different coaches.
An application available on the App Store and Google Play for the customers where they can view, communicate, register for academies and pay the fees on.
