Project Summary

Azul Arc partnered with a boutique fitness SaaS startup to structure and build an MVP and v1 of a studio-management platform. The vendor led product definition, ERD and architecture work, UI/UX design, and development of modules (admin dashboards, client/backend management, notifications and analytics) on a MERN stack using React.js. The client reports high-quality deliverables and an ongoing agile collaboration with the vendor.

Key Challenges

Founders lacked internal development and UI/UX expertise
Startup resource constraints prevented hiring a full team
Needed a flexible, cost-effective partner to build a stable MVP and v1

Project Deliverables

MVP and v1 of the SaaS platform
UI/UX screens and wireframes
ERDs and product development documentation
Admin dashboard and backend management modules
APIs for integration
Advanced analytics / business intelligence

Project Solution

Azul Arc converted the founders' concept into a structured product by creating ERDs, a product timeline, UI/UX designs and wireframes, and then developing the MVP and v1 modules in prioritized order. The team implemented features including auto-emails, push notifications, responsive front-end experiences, admin and backend management modules, analytics/BI, and APIs for third-party integration. The platform was built on a MERN stack using React.js and the engagement followed Agile practices with collaboration tools like Invision and Podio.

Project Outcome
