Top Spin

Enhancing user satisfaction and streamlining the booking process for sports enthusiasts worldwide.

Introduction

Top Spin is an innovative solution designed to streamline the booking process for Tennis and Golf Court slots, which become available at 12 am PST, 8 days in advance. In collaboration with DEVtrust, Top Spin leveraged automation technology and eliminated the need for users to manually stay awake or struggle to secure their preferred slots, ensuring a seamless booking experience.

Challenges

At a Glance

Here are the challenges we encountered while developing the application.

1

Manual Effort and Late-Night Struggles

Users faced challenges staying up late or waking early to manually book desired Tennis and Golf Court slots as soon as they became available at midnight PST.

2

High Demand and Limited Availability

Popular court slots were in high demand and often got fully booked within minutes of becoming available, leaving users frustrated and unable to secure their preferred times.

3

Inefficient Booking Processes

Existing booking systems did not provide an efficient way for users to automate the booking process, requiring constant manual monitoring and quick response times.

4

User Frustration and Disappointment

Users often experienced disappointment and frustration due to missing out on desired slots, leading to a negative booking experience.
