Where your sports club lives. Real time chat app for sports clubs and societies on iOS, Android and the Web.
In the dynamic world of sports clubs and societies, the challenge of streamlining communication, event organization, and payment collection is paramount. Enter KAPA, an innovative app solution developed by Add Jam, designed to empower club organizers, coaches, and members with a unified platform for seamless interaction and management tasks. Leveraging cutting-edge mobile technology, KAPA introduces a new era of efficiency and connectivity for sports clubs and societies.
KAPA stands out as a comprehensive tool that melds communication, event planning, and financial transactions into one intuitive app. It harnesses the capabilities of push notifications and mobile payments, including Apple Pay, to offer a user-friendly experience. At its core, KAPA facilitates real-time chat supported by an intelligent assistant, designed to aid in the smooth execution of club activities and financial operations directly from a mobile device.
The ingenuity of KAPA lies in its dual functionality. Not only does it serve as a communication hub for club members, but it also simplifies the logistical aspects of sports club management. From scheduling events to collecting membership fees or event payments, KAPA streamlines these processes, allowing coaches and organizers to focus more on the sport and less on administrative tasks.
The journey to bring KAPA to life was a comprehensive project encompassing server-side development, mobile app creation for iOS and Android, infrastructure setup, design, and deployment. The collaboration between Add Jam and the KAPA team was instrumental in shaping the project's direction, focusing on adaptability and user-centric design from the onset.
A pivotal aspect of KAPA's development was the agility of the Add Jam team in responding to the evolving needs of the product. This flexibility enabled the swift integration of new features and adjustments based on stakeholder feedback, showcasing a dynamic approach to app development. Such responsiveness was crucial in refining KAPA's onboarding process and overall functionality, ensuring a product that truly meets the needs of its users.
Effective communication stood at the heart of the KAPA project. Employing daily stand-ups involving the entire project team facilitated a transparent and cohesive development environment. This approach guaranteed that every team member remained aligned with the project's objectives, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that propelled KAPA towards its successful launch.
Debuting in October 2016, KAPA made its mark on both iOS and Android platforms. Within a mere four months, Add Jam delivered an exceptional product featuring custom real-time chat capabilities, a comprehensive chat stream supporting images, attachments, and custom activity cards, alongside robust payment functionalities and built-in internationalisation. KAPA's launch not only signified a technological achievement but also represented a significant advancement in the management and engagement of sports clubs and societies, setting a new standard in the sector.
