Client

Groove Productions

Ocean City, United States of America

Project Summary

Sunflower Lab began by building an iOS and Android mobile app and expanded into a long-term engagement to replace the client's fragmented management systems with custom, integrated tools. They rebuilt systems on the .NET platform, delivering a registration site, staff management portal, onsite check-in/scoring tools, and integrations that dramatically reduced administrative work. The engagement has been ongoing since January 2015 and has produced measurable operational efficiencies.

Key Challenges

Replace a patchwork of primitive, unintegrated software and websites
Integrate registration, marketing sites, onsite scoring, and staff/admin systems
Rebuild legacy systems to support synchronization between online registration, mobile apps, and local onsite processes

Project Deliverables

Mobile app (iOS and Android)
Registration system / website for event signups and payments
Staff management portal with employee logins
Local onsite check-in and scoring system that syncs with online systems
Automated billing/email reminder system and integrations

Project Solution

Sunflower Lab developed native iOS and Android apps and rebuilt the client's legacy systems on the .NET platform. They created a registration and payment site, a staff management portal with employee logins, and a local onsite check-in and scoring system that synchronizes with the online application and mobile app. The vendor implemented custom integrations and automation (including automated billing reminders) tailored to the client's operational needs.

Project Outcome

Significant reduction in administrative time; billing team hours tracking payments fell from 15–25 hours/week to less than 1 hour/week
Avoided hiring two or three full-time administrative staff due to automation
Improved operational efficiency and reduced errors across registration and event workflows
