A discovery workshop started a long term collaboration
Our first interaction with STATSports was a business analysis/product design workshop, aimed at identifying opportunities. From here on, a multitude of projects ensued. All of them allowed us to shape the future of sports devices.
ASSIST has been a technological partner for STATSports since 2015, delivering a series of applications by providing product design, software development, project management and quality assurance services. Over time, we worked with STATSports using 4 collaboration models: fixed price projects, team augmentation, dedicated teams and continuous maintenance.
One of the best software partnerships
We started the first project, the iOS tablet app with an extended infrastructure, integrating not just GPS but wireless and Bluetooth, while recording 30 physical or metabolic metrics.
With an offline-first approach, the performance of the app was highly optimized, with training data being available in real time by leveraging Bluetooth and Ultra Wide Band.
By working together and discussing at every step of the way, we could witness the sheer success of the app.
The sport tracker is now being used by major clubs world-wide since it was launched at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2018, where STATSports and ASSIST presented the product together.
What we worked on:
Cloud and Local Microservices
Continuous Integration
Architecture & Business Logic
Cross-platform compatibility
BLE and UWB Communication
Hardware Communication
CMS
Custom Local Installers
Data Privacy
Real-time Metrics
Empowering sports innovation through cutting-edge technologies
The world of custom sports software development depends on choosing the best technologies to work with and manage future challenges.
The sports apps of winners
After the success of the Elite Tablet App, ASSIST Software helped STATSports expand to the amateur consumer market. We built the mobile applications and the AWS cloud infrastructure.
The third expansion initiative was also one of the most successful – a hybrid coach app for sports academies. ASSIST developed the backend infrastructure and API based on AWS and Serverless as well as building the architecture and business logic for the hybrid mobile application in Angular and wrapped inside Ionic Framework.
Partnership highlights
Our cooperation with STATSports is one of our most fruitful due to the challenges that allowed us to grow. We used a multitude of technologies, managed and synced tasks with the hardware team and excellent sports scientists, and communicated flawlessly. Even if we worked remotely for extended periods, we knew when to add in-person workshops. Our results are incontestable.
Being one of the first to develop an app using Apple’s SwiftUI with a demo at an exclusive Apple event in Paris.
Worldwide professional exposure, actively adding business value with every new tech conquest made.
Participating at MWC Barcelona alongside STATSports where we promoted our services at the same stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?
ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.
3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?
We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.
- A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)
- Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.
- Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).
- Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).
4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?
We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions.
Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.
SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services.
5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?
We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.
- Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.
- Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.
- Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.
Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
