Coach Application
A Coach Application
A coach application to manage their courses, lessons, participants, attendance and skills.
THE GOALS
Business Goal
Improve back office and coach management processes. Reduce friction, mistakes and costs. An easy and light weighted application integration in any workplace environment.
Customer Experience Goal
Through a better and real-time tracking of the customer attendance and skills as well as an easier information transfer from one coach to another and to the back office, the customer experience should improve.
THE EVOLUTION
Attendance List by Paper
In the past, a lot of swimming coaches and schools tracked the attendance and the skills of the participants with paper/pen solutions.
Dropbox Collaboration
For a real-time approach and the reduction of paper waste, Aqualetics (by Sundrbi) used an excel-word-dropbox-solution as a coach management tool.
Coach Application
Since this summer, all Aqualetics coaches use the specific coach application for the management of their courses.
THE PROCESS
What do we have?
- Dropbox attendance and skill lists per coach and course (excel sheets)
- Excel overview sheet of all courses, participants and coaches as the main planning tool
- Manually produced status updates and diplomas with the combination of word and excel sheets
What do we need?
- All the above in one application
- Easy import/export of data as well as status updates and diplomas
- A specification for all the processes and data needed for the application features
- A good app developer
Restrictions
- A short period of time for the beta release
- A small budget
Timeline
