In 2018 Mantrax delivered Cricket Club Manager, a custom web application and mobile app to help sports club owners minimize administrative tasks and enhance the member experience. Our client required a design and delivery of a minimal viable product to strike the right balance between speed-to-market, feature robustness, and cost.
Cricket is the fastest-growing sport in Canada and cricket clubs are forming across a wide range of sectors from for-profit recreational clubs to corporate clubs and university and college clubs. With memberships growing, club administration required better tools to help manage day-to-day tasks such as player availability and match schedules, and last-minute match updates.
Because managing membership fees was an ongoing challenge for sports clubs, a limited budget was available for a custom application. The minimal viable product we developed met budget constraints as well as client objectives.
After careful planning, we chose to build the application on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) due to its ubiquity, availability of support, affordable hosting options, and mature frameworks. After developing the application, we worked on social media marketing to increase the adoption rate, club sign-ups, and traffic. Cricket Club Manager is now being used by almost 100 clubs worldwide.
We're a custom software development company that's ready to stand behind our work, and we provide an industry-leading ONE-YEAR warranty to prove it. Our rigorous test-driven approach is designed to support your business goals and ensure your software performs at the highest level. However, should a bug or two develop, we'll deliver unlimited fixes for an entire year.
A manufacturing client required project management support to re-implement IFS ERP system to eliminate extensive customization.
The client implemented the ERP system IFS in 2016. In 2020, four years post-implementation, the Client’s pain points included:
01
Only utilizing 50% of the purchased IFS functionality.
02
Only utilizing ~50% of the customizations implemented in 2016.
03
Experiencing downtime associated with ‘core code customizations’
04
Unable to leverage new developments released by IFS due to heavy customizations. Operating on IFS version installed in 2016.
05
High resistance and nervousness from the business to start any new initiative on IFS.
Mantrax helped select an IFS partner through a methodological selection process including RFQ cadence, vendor interviews, customer referrals and pilot projects with short listed vendors.
Mantrax worked with the IFS consulting partner and internal Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to structure the gap analysis between current IFS version and targeted IFS functionality. Barrday's goal was to transition to standard IFS functionality, as a result, it was important to structure the gap analysis in a manner that highlighted technical, functional, business process and change management tasks necessary to support the full implementation.
Mantrax worked with Barrday to assess current and future state internal IFS capability and capacity requirements. To help fill gaps in capacity and capability, Mantrax developed and managed the full recruitment and onboarding process to strengthen the internal IFS team and to prepare for re-implementation.
Mantrax provided tactical day-to-day project management services to help drive objectives to completion. Project management services included standard project services, as well as team member coaching and active risk management to help ensure project timelines were achieved.
As part of the project management services, Mantrax managed all external vendors directly to align on project objectives, to structure weekly work plans and to manage the overall project budget.
