Solution
The client wanted to deliver a modern and user-friendly web-based solution that will not only serve its intended purpose but to also motivate people to go out and have fun during their running and competing. They hired 2 Senior .NET developers and 1 Business Analyst. With proven experience in building tracking applications, the team worked on developing the required solution, taking into consideration the user interface specifications and all the necessary validations.
The application was built using .NET technology through which we ensured functional and easy and intuitive navigation with a design that enhances the user experience which is at the same time simple and enjoyable. Web Services were used for user data actions, exploring routes for running, and statistics.
