Project in Details
Organizations frequently need to validate and record the physical presence of participants at an event – and possibly interconnect them. This should be done in an efficient, reliable and non-intrusive way. Any activity is an event: lectures, seminars, workplaces, concerts - even a bar’s operation! Participants that have downloaded the CheckMeIn app can see nearby events, check in, and join the event’s virtual community!
The first option is to Login as owner and Create an event by specifying the Title and Subtitle of the Event, and Where and When it takes place. Then the owner has the ability to make the event Private or Public by specifying Who is allowed to check in for a Private event. Only those people can see your event. Or just make it Public: anyone near-by can check in.The second option is to Download the CheckMeIn app and Login as a participant. The participant user can find the desired event and see a list of near-by events, public or private. Then, the participant checks-in and decides whether he wants to be part of the event’s community or invisible. If the participant wants to check-out, just checks-out any time from anywhere.
Our Mission
Our primary objective was to build the core features and key flows of the CheckMeIn app. We aimed to create a user-friendly platform that allows event owners to create and manage events and participants to engage effortlessly. Additionally, we were involved in the phase focused on the look & feel of the product.
Challenges
-
Efficient Location Services: Ensuring the location services were precise and reliable to display nearby events accurately.
-
User Privacy: Balancing visibility and privacy for participants checking into events.
-
Scalable Architecture: Developing a backend capable of handling varying loads of event and user data.
Solution
We developed two mobile apps, one for iOS and one for Android. The applications allow the users to see nearby events and select to check in to one of them. This way they are indicating their participation. The users are also able to see other participants from the event and exchange information using the chatroom that exists for each of the lectures/events. The application uses location services that allow the user to see only the nearby events, based on their current location.
Innovation
-
Real-time event updates based on user location.
-
Advanced privacy settings giving users control over their participation visibility.
Impact
​The CheckMeIn app revolutionized event management for our clients by providing a comprehensive tool to handle event creation, and participant management. The app’s user-friendly interface and stable performance have gained positive feedback from both event owners and participants, leading to higher event attendance and user satisfaction.
