The Project
Best10, a leading health and fitness web application developed by KRS, facilitates personalised weight loss programs for individuals pursuing healthier lifestyles through improved nutrition and fitness. The core function of the platform is to enable reciprocal engagement between coaches and users, ensuring that users’ personalised dietary preferences and health and fitness objectives are met.
When Best10’s founders, Kate Grové and James White approached KRS to be their software development partner, there were several key features of the process that needed optimisation to ensure that users enjoyed a smoother health and fitness journey. These features included:
- Automation of operations through a custom-built administration application for coaches. This feature enabled the customization of nutrition and fitness plans, allowing coaches to manage and adjust plans to help individuals meet their goals.
- Multiple third-party integrations to facilitate seamless communication, providing users with ongoing support, engagement, and personal accountability for their health and wellness goals.
- A user-friendly interface to simplify sign-ups, track progress, explore recipes, interact with coaches daily, and deliver an intuitive user experience that keeps users engaged and motivated.
The Technology
At KRS, we build platforms that can scale as user demand grows; so, to support the Best10 platform, the KRS technology team leveraged the following technologies:
- Hosting the solution in Azure App Services with an Azure SQL database to ensure Best10 can handle traffic spikes without sacrificing performance.
- Integration of in-depth Azure analytics to monitor the platform’s health in real time, ensuring maximum up time and quick issue resolution.
- Two distinct applications: one for users and one for administration.
- The backend is powered by C# .NET Core APIs, while the frontend is built using Aurelia Single Page Application (SPA) technology, providing a fast, responsive user experience across devices.
- Integration with multiple third-party services, including a major medical health care provider, rebrand of the app, as well as Zoho CRM, respond.io, and Touchbase to streamline communication between health coaches and users.
- Connection to the client’s WordPress-based marketing platform, creating a cohesive experience across all digital touchpoints.
By combining robust technology with user-centric design, we helped Best10 optimize a scalable, efficient platform that not only ensured a personalized user experience but also met the operational needs of coaches, creating a smoother overall experience.
What the Client has to say
What Kate Grové, the Founder of Best 10 has to say:
“We launched Best 10, with a complex, manual web of online documents to manage the onboarding, meal planning and fitness programs for our clients. Working with KRS we developed a smart efficient system that automates this process in a fraction of the time. We now have a leading global product in the health and fitness space with great ongoing support.”
