The Pitch

ChiTown Trainer offers on-demand fitness instruction in Chicago. Twenty trainers work throughout the city running both 1-to-1 and group fitness sessions in various luxury residential buildings. With ambitions to scale the service across five new cities, the company's CEO sought a bespoke solution to support business growth and enhance productivity.

ChiTown Trainer wanted a comprehensive Business Management System to handle the company-wide process, helping the organisation become more productive on the whole.
The client was using Mindbody: a dated, and overly-complex enterprise SaaS solution focused on brick-and-mortar businesses.
No other solution existed to support location-independent operations, or to handle both private and group sessions, making custom development the only option.
The app also had to include scope for brand differentiation in the competitive personal training vertical.

The Process

The new app offers both mobile and web access with separate client/trainer/manager/owner interfaces. Each includes a user-specific dashboard with role-related information allowing the entire business to operate from within a single, custom platform.

We built a comprehensive, user-centric app that surfaces personal details, schedules, calendars, and tasks – with in-app notifications, plus an online shop.
We also covered business operations requirements with features supporting staff management, payroll, payment and invoice processing, and task management.
A ‘re-skinnable’ companion app supports interactive trainer-client communication, creating a ‘sticky’ brand and in-residence experience.

The Result

Thanks to the new end-to-end Business Management Solution, ChiTown Trainer has streamlined all elements of business operations. Both clients and trainers love the ease-of-use of the application; while client acquisition has markedly increased, the business continues to scale, and company-wide productivity is higher than ever.

Client acquisition has increased, luxury residences are signing up thanks to the in-app branding capability, and other businesses are now looking to license the software.
Productivity has improved, while the centralised service has allowed expansion into new territories.
The client has made significant savings thanks to cheaper-to-run software.

Review from the client

Naava

Vue.js

TypeScript

Naava is the Finland-based creator of smart green walls for indoor use. Sectors as diverse as warehouses, commercial offices, and hospitality install these planted structures inside to improve air quality and boost overall well-being.
The green walls have become increasingly popular since Naava’s founding in 2011. However, the company’s front-end technology had become increasingly dated. Naava was relying on near-obsolete software until Redvike stepped in to rebuild the infrastructure from the ground up, developing a solution to meet both business and client needs.

Von Coin’s mission is to reward hardcore gamers for their achievements on Xbox. The Von Coin CEO approached Redvike with a vision to create a comprehensive platform that could handle auctions between gamers, in collaboration with gaming industry partners. Based in Ireland, but with its sights set on the USA (then Canada and the UK) – Von Coin displayed an ambition that Redvike was confident it could match.
