The Challenge
Local sports leagues and recreational players struggled to find and book courts, pitches, and facilities. Venue owners had empty slots with no digital channel to fill them, and teams coordinated bookings through group chats.
Our Approach
Spote.fi connects players with venues through a map-first discovery experience. We built a React Native app for on-the-go booking and a web admin panel for venue managers to manage availability, pricing, and promotions.
Key Features
- Map-based venue discovery with filters for sport type, surface, and price
- Real-time availability and instant booking confirmation
- Team profiles with shared calendars and split-payment options
- Venue manager dashboard with slot pricing and occupancy analytics
- Social features: reviews, player ratings, and league organization
Results
Spote.fi launched with 80 partner venues and 5,000 registered players in the first quarter. Venue occupancy during off-peak hours increased by 28%, and the app became the primary booking channel for three regional sports associations.
