Front Rush, LLC was formed by
former college athletes, former
college coaches, entrepreneurs
and all around geeks with an
aim to develop a user-friendly
software for college coaches to
streamline their recruiting
process.
The Front Rush team envisioned
to make Front Rush a truly
universal app – accessible on
multiple screens and mobile
platforms with enhanced
features and better usability.
THE PROBLEM THE CHALLENGE
Defining the Requirements
Since Front Rush was the first on to come out with a concept
to develop an athlete recruiting software, it was difficult to
determine accurate project requirements and potential features
which will delight the target audience.
Transition to Mobile Devices
Once the entire web platform was developed, the Front Rush
team decided to go mobile. But since the smartphone mobile
market was still in its infancy, they were reluctant to initiate a
full-scale mobile app development.
GUI Constraints
Another major challenge was to maintain consistent performance
and look and feel across various mobile platforms – iPhone,
Android and BlackBerry – because of various GUI constraints.

THE SOLUTION
THE RESULT
Cross Platform Experience
The app architecture was structured on multiple platforms
– iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone – using
Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, which helped
reduce project complexity and costs.
Anytime Access
Front Rush was a big success, both on desktop and mobile
platforms. The app made the life easier for its users, giving
them anywhere-anytime access to the app, which increased
their efficiency and resulted in better management of
day-to-day activities.
Developing a POC first
With an aim to make the Front Rush idea a reality, we
preferred to go AGILE route by developing a POC (proof of
concept) as part of strategy to test the product with the real
customers.
Native App Development
Eventually, the Front Rush team got a good response for
mobile website which led to its extension to native mobile
devices like iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and Windows
Phone.
Roll-Out of Cross Browser Mobile Website
Keeping in mind the reluctance of Front Rush team to go
with full-blown mobile app development, a cross-browser
compatible mobile website was developed, which turned out
to be a big hit.
Third Party Integration
To make athletic recruitment an effortless activity, third party
integration capabilities were added to the Front Rush app,
which helped coaches easily collaborate with various recruiters. Front Rush was a big
success, both on
desktop and mobile
platforms. The app
made the life easier for
its users, giving them
anywhere-anytime
access to the App.
