The client is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1995. It is one of the largest independent Leagues in USA, the largest in Texas. The organization’s mission is to provide young athletes with opportunities to compete and win at some of the highest levels of youth football and cheer in an environment free from discrimination and prepare the athletes for lifelong contributions to society; to embrace equality, academic achievement and diversity through competition of sport.
- Node.js, Angular 5
- Developed a web application, with rigorous SDLC in optimizing performance, scalability, and user experience.
The Project
The Business Challenge
The Client’s primary vision was to create a user friendly web application that acts as a catalyst for stimulating football and cheer in the State of Texas and to play a major role in unifying all the leagues in Texas under one set of rules. However client’s existing system was obsolete and lacked automation.
Another major challenge the client was facing with the existing system was scalability and unresponsiveness to different devices. In today’s scenario any successful web application needs to be seamless and efficiently accommodate growth, and be designed with scalability in mind. A scalable web application handles an increase in users and load, without disrupting the end users. So creating a scalable web application was another primary task for ISHIR team.
The second major challenge was the UI of the application, even to make slightest small changes in the system required users to take support from developers. The system used Chromebook to take pictures of athletes and volunteers, and it was cumbersome to carry Chromebook to all locations.
Project Goals
Intuitive and User Friendly Design
A well-designed site to helps users travel through your site with ease. One of the primary goals of the project was to build an intuitive, modern product that will help users to connect better and travel through the website with ease.
Functional
We wanted to make sure that the web application helps users achieve their goals and gets the job done, quickly and properly. To achieve this ISHIR's team created separate and individual dashboards for Athletes (Parents), Volunteers Organizations & TYFA Staffs and Super admin.
Key Features

- ISHIR configured dashboards on separate sub-domains for scalability and performance, tailored for different user roles.
- Individualized dashboards cater to specific user groups: Athletes (Parents), Volunteers, Organizations, TYFA Staff, and Super Admins.
Process
Technology Selection
ISHIR follows a strict software development lifecycle process to develop better and implement the project management deliverables that are critical to support the project and make it successful. The application is developed in cutting edge technologies Node.js, Angular 5 and for HTML layer Angular Material was being used. As the team was aware of the fact that slugginess and unresponsive nature could lead slowing down of the application, Node.js technology offered numerous benefits for web app development such as high scalability, ease of learning, extraordinary performance, profound extensiveness, active support from a large community.
Value Delivered
ISHIR Team was able to deliver the web application within the decided timeframe and maintenance support was available around the clock. The application truly helps the client in achieving the goal of providing a medium for stimulating Football and Cheer in the State of Texas.
