The platform for beach volleyball players: Easy match organisation and a global court search

BeachUp is a proprietary brand of Youbility and our second major practical demonstration: we designed and developed the entire platform for beach volleyball enthusiasts. With BeachUp, players can effortlessly find available courts, organise matches and connect with fellow players – across platforms, with high performance and intuitive usability.

The task

Background & Challenge

Until now, organising beach volleyball matches has often been a fragmented process: arrangements were made via various messaging apps, the quality of court information was inconsistent, and finding new teammates was difficult. BeachUp aims to bridge this gap with a centralised, user-friendly platform:

 

  1. Real-time synchronisation: Court availability and last-minute match confirmations must be synchronised across all devices without delay.
  2. Global scalability: A growing database of volleyball courts worldwide requires high-performance data management and fast search APIs.
  3. Cross-platform UX: The user experience on the court must be extremely intuitive and fast – both on the mobile website and in the apps.
  4. Continuous optimisation: Usability issues had to be identified and resolved through ongoing A/B testing to maintain a high level of activity within the community.

The solution

Our solution & your contribution

We have set up the entire technical infrastructure for BeachUp and provide ongoing support for the platform.

  • Web platform: Development of the central web platform with a focus on technical SEO and fast loading times. Via the website, users can search for venues directly in their browser and find out about upcoming matches.
  • Mobile apps (Android & iOS): The companion apps were developed natively for Android and iOS to guarantee the best performance and a seamless user experience on smartphones.
  • APIs & Data Management: A high-performance backend forms the backbone of the system. Complex search APIs enable users to search for venues and ongoing matches within seconds based on geodata.
  • A/B Testing & Usability Optimisation: Through targeted A/B testing and user analysis, we have continuously simplified the registration and match creation processes to minimise the barrier to entry for new players.
