BuildBit didn’t just build an app—they reinvented how athletes connect with the game.
As a former college tennis player turned entrepreneur, I dreamed of creating a platform that would tear down the barriers keeping people from playing the sports they love. Playway was born to solve one problem: making it effortless to get on the court and stay there. But turning that vision into reality? That’s where BuildBit became our MVP. Shandhen’s team didn’t just code an app—they engineered a movement. From day one, they pushed us to think beyond basic bookings. Their idea? An AI-powered matchmaking system that pairs players by skill level and playing style. The result? Users aren’t just finding opponents—they’re finding rivals who push them to improve. When we hit roadblocks, like syncing real-time court availability across 500+ venues, BuildBit cracked it with a geo-location API that updates faster than a serve. They even built a coaching session module that lets pros monetize their expertise seamlessly. But what truly blew me away was their obsession with the user journey. During beta testing, they noticed beginners felt intimidated, so they added a ‘Casual Play’ mode with icebreaker prompts—participation skyrocketed by 40%. The launch week was a slam dunk. iOS and Android users raved about the one-tap bookings and how the app remembers their favorite courts. One coach told me Playway tripled his client bookings—in a month. Investors now call us the ‘LinkedIn of sports,’ but I call BuildBit the backbone of this revolution. To Shandhen and the team: You turned Playway into more than an app. It’s a community where athletes thrive. Every match booked, every skill leveled up, every court filled—you made it possible. This isn’t just tech; it’s the future of sports, and you built it.
Playway was built through a collaborative, iterative process, uniting engineers, UX designers, and sports industry experts to create an intuitive mobile platform. By diving deep into the needs of players, coaches, and venue managers, we designed a solution that simplifies court bookings, partner matching, and session scheduling—keeping the focus on the game. Driven by innovation, we integrated real-time court availability updates, AI-powered player matching, and seamless payment gateways to eliminate coordination hassles. The development followed a structured agile approach, prioritizing security, scalability, and cross-platform performance for iOS and Android. Through continuous refinement and user feedback, Playway evolved into a platform where finding a court, booking a match, or connecting with players takes seconds—not hours. Every feature was crafted to turn complex logistics into effortless play, ensuring your next game is always just a tap away.
The team conducted in-depth research to understand sports booking challenges, user behavior, and market demand. Insights from players, coaches, and facility managers shaped key features like court booking, match scheduling, and coaching discovery.
Wireframes and interactive prototypes were developed to streamline user navigation, optimize booking flows, and enhance the social experience. The design emphasized a clean, intuitive interface, ensuring ease of use across iOS and Android.
A Node.js (Express.js) backend was developed to handle real-time bookings, user management, and payments. MongoDB ensured efficient data handling, while secure APIs connected users to facilities and trainers.
Using Kotlin and Swift, the Playway app was built natively for iOS and Android, ensuring a fast and responsive experience. Features like court reservations, AI-driven player matching, in-app chat, and payment integration were implemented.
Extensive testing, including unit, integration, and beta testing, was conducted to ensure performance, smooth booking processes, and accurate player matching. User feedback helped refine the app before launch.
After final optimizations, Playway was launched on the App Store and Google Play with ongoing monitoring and updates. Marketing campaigns and partnerships with sports facilities ensured strong adoption.
