Situation Harbinger Solution
 A start up ISV in fitness and wellness domain
 Providing technology based analytics
solutions for athletes and gyms to optimize
their workout training
 The technology stack of the application was
not scalable to meet future needs. It also
suffered from high latency and UI/UX issues
such as lack of intuitive navigation, RWD
compliance etc.
After due-diligence Harbinger proposed the redevelopment of
the entire application to ensure a robust, flexible and scalable
system.
 MongoDB was used to store and accommodate different
workout types and their associated unstructured data
 Implemented a user management system in rails and
combined it with an access management system for
seamless on-boarding process of gym affiliates
 Utilized wireframes approach to design layout and
optimize placements of components followed by validation
from actual users ie. Coach and athletes
 Built the application in responsive manner and
utilized a third party jQuery plugin to construct
graphs and charts to present statistical data to the
users
 Integrated open source plug-in for calendar view
and grid view with search functionality
 Progressive loading form implemented using
HTML5 and JavaScript. It prevented page stack up
from the time it loads, thus keeping the page
clean and making it easier for users to navigate
through various features on the screen
 Implemented an in-house built plugin using jQuery that
reciprocates user interactions with the HTML form and
converts that data into textual workout summary
 Integrated 3rd party application Disqus, a social
commenting system with single sign on feature and Olark,
a live chat support system for users to interact and
collaborate their experiences and results
 Managing user session & ownership of data for individual
athletes to access and punch in details through kiosks
Challenges
 Application to be made scalable amidst
unstructured data for over 9 workout types
along with reduced latency
 A functionality to add affiliated gyms was
needed
 Develop a user centered design with the
ability to display key metrics in a visually
appealing format irrespective of screen size
 Provide real-time generation of workout
summary for users
 Social media integration was essential
 Enable users to access application via kiosks
