Beehive Sports
Problem
Introducing the Beehive app - their all in one solution for players to be able to view and interact with games in their leagues.
Sports players need immediate access to their schedules and info about their games, it is necessary to create an all in one platform where they are able to get information about their games and interact with them.
The earlier system required users to login to an online web portal and reserve their games through that making the whole process very clumsy, insecure and outdated on mobile devices.
User Research
Research was conducted through surveys and questionnaires among 100 players across different leagues and according to the feedback received these are the things users expressed their dissatisfaction with.

Solution
Hence it was decided that an app was to be built for players that could be easily distributed through the app store and could be used to keep users upto date about their games and interact with them.
This streamlined the process of players being able to quickly rsvp for a game as soon as it becomes available and keeps open possibilities for future additions of features.
