The fitness industry is booming, and it's not just about physical exercise anymore. With the rise of digital technology, corporate employee training has become an essential aspect of any successful organization. In this case study, we'll explore how our team of experts in fitness app development created a groundbreaking educational app that transformed the way companies train their employees.

How It All Began

Unleesh, a corporate education app, was initially designed to educate student volunteers from ThinkImpact, a US non-profit organization. However, as the project evolved, it became clear that its scope extended far beyond mere education. The app's potential for employee training and development became apparent, and Unleesh transformed into a corporate B2B platform.

A Global Vision

The goal was ambitious – to create a seamless user experience on various platforms, reaching thousands of users worldwide. We achieved this by developing native apps for iOS and Android, as well as a web application.

How It Works

Here's the magic: company representatives create Paths, curricula designed to equip employees with new skills and competencies. Employees register, log in, and select their Path, which takes them to an Action – a specific micro-learning module they must complete. Each completed Action earns users points, making the learning process more engaging and entertaining.

For Social Support

The app also allows users to connect with their peers through chat or private messaging. This social feature fosters a sense of community, enabling employees to ask for advice, share goals and experiences, and receive encouragement from their path mates.

From Concept to Reality

We developed three apps from scratch: native iOS and Android apps, as well as a web application. The client had a prototype and a clear vision of the finished product. Our team worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life, implementing complex backend functionality and creating a user-friendly frontend.

Improvisation and Innovation

The first app launch was a success, but the client soon realized that their understanding of the app was incomplete. We reworked the UI/UX, adding new features while maintaining the existing architecture. Our team stayed focused and delivered both iOS and Android apps on time.

Web Application and User-Generated Content

Although Unleesh is a mobile-first platform, some corporate customers required a web version. We implemented this feature, ensuring that user-generated media content could be viewed seamlessly across all platforms, including videos and audio recordings from different devices and operating systems.

Challenges Overcome

We faced several challenges during the development process. One of the most significant was migrating to another push notification service after Parse announced they would shut down their Push service. We also had to ensure that user-generated content could be viewed on all platforms, which required some creative problem-solving.

Results and Impact

Today, over 20,000 workforce learners have used Unleesh. The app has become a valuable tool for dozens of organizations, including global ones like the United Nations and World Learning. Our team's hard work paid off, and we're proud to have been part of this innovative journey.
