Project Summary

Smitiv developed a virtual events platform for an advertising agency using Strapi for the CMS and React.js for the frontend. The platform enabled live shows, virtual booths, matchmaking and in-event communications, and provided engagement tracking that the client translated into actionable insights. The client highlighted direct team access and frequent scrums as strengths, while requesting improved progress updates and bug documentation.

Key Challenges

Pivot into the virtual events space to capitalize on digitalization trends accelerated by COVID-19.
Build a platform that supports multiple event formats and real-time attendee interactions.

Project Deliverables

React.js frontend
Features for live shows, virtual booths, business matchmaking, and roundtable discussions

Project Solution

Smitiv built a virtual events platform that used Strapi as the CMS and React.js for the front end. The platform supported live shows, virtual booths, business matchmaking, roundtable discussions, attendee-to-attendee communication, and video meeting scheduling. The vendor supplied a four-person team (1 PM, 1 senior developer, 2 junior developers) and maintained communication via email for formal updates, Google Hangouts for demos, WhatsApp for informal messages, and daily scrums with the client.

Project Outcome

The platform enabled tracking of user engagement, allowing the client to better understand user behavior.
Engagement data was translated into actionable insights that improved content strategy and client advisement.
Direct team access and daily scrums improved alignment between the client and developers.
