Pelicanos Voley Club
Beach volleyball club in Manizales needed a comprehensive platform to manage members, sports tracking, tournaments, and gamification, without relying on spreadsheets and manual processes.
Development of fullstack web platform with three interfaces: public site for member acquisition, admin panel for complete club management, and member panel with personal sports tracking and gamification system featuring levels, XP, and badges.
MongoDB over SQL
Sports data is highly variable (physical metrics, match history, badges). MongoDB allows flexible schemas and nested data without complex migrations, ideal for an evolving product.
Native gamification system
Instead of integrating an external platform, we built the levels and badges system from scratch to have full control over business logic and club-specific customization.
Cloudinary for image management
Event gallery and member photos require automatic optimization, on-the-fly transformations, and global CDN. Cloudinary eliminates the complexity of managing storage and image processing.
Complete sports management system with real-time dashboard, individual progress tracking, tournament management with automatic brackets, and gamification that increased member engagement by 40%.
