Objective
This case study aims to showcase Leaware’s expertise in developing Lifemate, a unique application that facilitates connections between ordinary users and celebrities, particularly sports stars.
Meet the Client
Our client, Flow Pilots, is a Belgium-based company that specializes in creating, designing, and developing applications and software that aligns business, IT, and end-users, making lasting software solutions.
Historical Background
& Current Situation
Lifemate was designed to bridge the gap between fans and their idols, creating a platform that allows direct contact with famous sports figures. The app has also a web service restricted only to celebrities and admins for better content management. Currently, Lifemate is actively fostering connections and enhancing fan experiences.
Challenge
The primary challenge was creating a secure and user-friendly platform that could manage a high volume of user interactions while ensuring privacy and control for the celebrities involved. In addition, the client needed an effective way for these celebrities to manage their profiles and content using larger screens.
Solution
Using a range of technologies including Xamarin, WebAPI 2 Full REST, AngularJS ver. 1, Azure Web App, Azure Insights, Azure Media Services, Azure WebJobs, and MvvmCross, Leaware developed Lifemate for iOS and Android platforms. The app provided a bridge for common users to connect with sports stars while also offering a web service that allowed stars and admins to manage their profiles and content effectively.
