Project Summary

Devōt (formerly MI DIGITAL) built a cloud-based event management platform for hunter-jumper horse shows with a Ruby on Rails backend and a JavaScript/Bootstrap frontend. They used behavior-driven development to ensure requirements-driven functionality and now provide ongoing support, including live event support. The software has received positive user feedback, enabling rapid feature development (for example, campsite reservations) and continued engagement. The client highlights responsive daily communication and timely delivery.

Key Challenges

  • Introduce more automation into horse show competition operations
  • Replace manual processes and enable end-to-end event automation

Project Deliverables

  • Cloud-based software platform for horse shows
  • Ruby on Rails backend
  • JavaScript/Bootstrap frontend
  • Behavior-driven development test suite
  • Campsite reservation and event management features
  • Ongoing support and live event software

Project Solution

Devōt developed a cloud-based system that covers planning, administration, event tracking, entries, stall and campsite organization, and marketing for horse shows. They implemented the backend in Ruby on Rails and the frontend using JavaScript and Bootstrap, and adopted behavior-driven development to design and validate requirements-driven features. After launch, Devōt provided ongoing support, fixed bugs, implemented new functionalities (such as campsite reservations), designed UIs as needed, and delivered live software support during events.

Project Outcome

  • Software met the client's standards and led to continued engagement
  • Rapid application development with ongoing feature additions (e.g., campsite reservation)
  • 24/7 live support and high responsiveness during events
  • Clear communication, timely delivery, and no unexpected charges
