A one-stop web and mobile app for professional volleyball

Sports organizations of all sizes can unlock their full potential with better online tools—a competitive edge when it comes to easing administration woes for coaches, team managers and athletes. That’s why GMS wanted to build a one-stop web and mobile app for professional volleyball coaches to have everything they need all in one place. From game analysis, training resources, training camp and match data, the GMS platform helps volleyball teams worldwide achieve results.

Powerful Web Tool for Coaches with GMS+

The custom web-based GMS platform offers a tailor-made solution for coach training. Polcode delivered the admin panel and dashboard, enabling coaches to manage their training camps, match data, game schedules, clubs, staff, strategy and in-depth game analysis all from one place.

INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO LIBRARY

The video library and content functions Polcode built allowed thousands of videos of live examples, interviews, drills, tips and other instructional videos to be easily searched and favorited. User-created content can also be shared across members, thanks to collaborative and member profiling features.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Coaches can view reports, trends and USA national averages using the web or mobile stats app. Not only does it provide the stats themselves, but suggestions based on data insights pulled from. When a match is finished, game data is automatically imported to the GMS+ panel for review.

INTERACTIVE PRACTICE PLANNER

Volleyball coaches often need to manage practice scenarios. The GMS+ platform was also built to enable creating, saving and sharing custom practice plans.

Taking Volleyball Stats Anywhere with Volleymaps App

The Volleymaps project was part of the mobile application development for GMS. The goal was to create a hybrid application, enabling match data to be collected from mobile devices and synced to the web platform Polcode built the hybrid iOS and Android app on Ionic for its powerful cross-platform mobile capabilities. The web portion was based on Laravel 5.2, synchronizing data from the mobile application with their servers, verified purchases made in the application (such as subscriptions).

SYNCING MATCH DATA

Data records within the app use unique identifiers generated on the mobile application side. Three types of data collected in the application are synchronized: types of games, matches and so-called data points: consisting of information about the performed play (setting on the field, type of play, place).

PURCHASE VERIFICATION

A REST API was provided as an endpoint to verify invoices issued for in-app purchases and subscriptions. This allowed for the app to check the appropriate mobile store (App Store or Google Play).
