About The Customer
The primary customers for the My Fishing Tournament app are fishing tournament organizers and participants. The app is particularly beneficial for organizers who are looking to streamline the process of managing tournaments, from submission of catches to scoring and leaderboard updates. It also provides a more engaging and transparent experience for participants, who can easily submit their catches and track their progress in real-time. The app is also designed to be scalable, making it suitable for both small local tournaments and larger, multi-location events. With plans to offer various pricing plans, the app is set to cater to a wide range of customer needs and budgets.
The Challenge
The founder of My Fishing Tournament, Robin Conn, was faced with the challenge of managing a charity fishing tournament. The traditional methods of conducting such tournaments were cumbersome and often led to challenges at the end of the tournament. The process of submitting catches was manual and time-consuming, requiring fishers to physically present their catches for measurement and scoring. This not only slowed down the process but also created room for errors and disputes. Additionally, the lack of a real-time leaderboard made it difficult for participants and spectators to keep track of the competition's progress. Conn, with his experience in building data-driven e-commerce platforms, was looking for a solution that could streamline the process and make the tournament more engaging and transparent.
The Solution
Conn developed the My Fishing Tournament app, an online fishing tournament management platform, using Bubble's no-code development tools. The app allows fishers to submit their catches using their mobile phones. They simply take a photo of the fish on a measuring stick and submit it to the Tournament Scoring Team through the app. The Scoring Team verifies the information and marks it as 'verified'. Once verified, the submissions show up on a live leaderboard that can be viewed on a large format monitor screen on-shore at the tournament site or by anyone watching the provided URL from home or on their mobile device. The app also provides a mobile version of the leaderboard and a list of all submissions for each user. Conn designed the app as a SaaS product, making it scalable and adaptable for multiple tournaments.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.

IoT Solution Enhances Comfort and Energy Efficiency at Apple Valley Commons Office
Apple Valley Commons, a mixed-use office complex built in 1986, was facing significant comfort and energy efficiency challenges. The building, which houses a variety of businesses, was experiencing extreme temperature imbalances, causing discomfort to employees and clients. Despite outdoor temperatures being consistently high during summers, occupants had to use space heaters to keep warm. The electricity bills from the constant operation of the heat pump were exorbitant. The building's elevator room on the roof was also overheating, reaching temperatures of 130 to 140 degrees, causing the elevator equipment to shut down. The building's existing controls solution did not provide a front end for diagnostics or remote control. The building management was seeking a solution that could address these temperature issues, improve occupant comfort, reduce operational costs, and increase building visibility.

Revamping EE's Legacy ERP: A Case Study on BT's Strategic Transformation
EE, even after its merger with BT, was operating its ERP estate on legacy infrastructure, hosted on the premises of a third-party supplier. This outdated system resulted in a volume-based operational model, higher time to market, longer delivery cycles, and unsatisfactory customer experience. BT recognized the need for a strategic transformation of these aging ERP systems and sought a partner who could proactively manage application services. The partner was also expected to handle development requirements associated with application management services, drive accountability, and ownership with a time and target-driven transformation of these services. BT's primary goals were to improve customer experience, reduce cycle time, and measure these improvements with precision.
