Solutions we provided

A dedicated team of Onix specialists meticulously adhered to a carefully crafted development process to deliver the following solutions:

Rewriting the application

We chose native development for both the Android and iOS platforms to ensure the highest performance levels and user experience for the application's audience.

By opting for native development, the Onix team leveraged each platform's inherent advantages to deliver a tailored experience optimized for the respective operating systems.

This approach allowed for deeper integration with platform-specific features and functionalities, resulting in a more seamless and intuitive user experience. This solution is a hallmark of our expertise in golf coaching app development.

New architecture design

The primary objective was to develop a robust and scalable architecture that could seamlessly support the application's increasing demands and complexities over time. To achieve this, the team employed industry-standard practices and leveraged cutting-edge technologies to ensure a solid foundation for the platform's expansion.

The architecture was meticulously designed with scalability in mind, utilizing modular components and a microservices architecture to facilitate easier management and scaling of individual functionalities. This approach enabled the application to adapt and grow in response to changing user needs and market dynamics without compromising performance or reliability. The successful implementation reinforced our expertise in golf coaching software development.

Coach search

The coach search feature allows golfers to find and connect with coaches tailored to their specific needs and preferences. This feature is a comprehensive tool for golfers to find coaches based on various criteria, such as rating, reviews, profile descriptions, and pricing. With this capability, it became feasible to build an online golf coaching app that fosters user engagement through intelligent matchmaking.
