Industry

Health, Wellness & Fitness

Studios, clinics and fitness operators. The business is capacity-constrained, which means the software that matters is the software that shows you where capacity is being wasted.

Operational Constraints

What makes health & wellness hard.

Scheduling, attendance and the utilisation you cannot see

01

Bookings live in messages

When scheduling runs on WhatsApp, cancellations are invisible, no-shows go unrecorded, and utilisation cannot be measured.

02

Instructors are the calendar

Schedules exist in individual heads. Cover, substitution and room conflicts become daily manual problems.

03

No-shows are the margin

In a capacity business, an empty slot is unrecoverable revenue. Unless it is measured, it cannot be reduced.

04

Marketing runs through the same pages

Studios sell through their own content, so a separate CMS doubles the cost of every change.

Architecture & Systems

The systems that answer those pressures.

System 01PRODUCTION SCOPE

Scheduling and booking

Sessions as the core domain object, with instructor assignment, capacity and conflict handling.

System 02PRODUCTION SCOPE

Attendance and check-in

QR and manual check-in tied to bookings, so attendance and no-shows are recorded rather than approximated.

System 03PRODUCTION SCOPE

Client accounts and memberships

Packages, credits and renewal states that reconcile with what was actually attended.

System 04PRODUCTION SCOPE

Content and instructor pages

Authoring built into the same application, so marketing does not need a second system.

Method

Five phases, adapted to the sector's risk.

  1. 01

    Phase 01: Diagnose

    1 — 2 weeks

    We look at the actual system, the actual data and the actual workflow before proposing anything. Output is a written assessment: where the constraint really is, what it costs you today, and the options ranked by cost and risk.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Technical and process assessment
    • Constraint identified and quantified
    • Options with cost, timeline and risk
    • A recommendation we are willing to defend
  2. 02

    Phase 02: Architect

    1 — 3 weeks

    Domain model, route and data architecture, integration boundaries and non-functional requirements agreed in writing. This is the cheapest place to be wrong, so we spend the time here rather than discovering it in month four.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Domain and data model
    • Architecture decision record
    • Integration and API contracts
    • Performance budget and acceptance criteria
  3. 03

    Phase 03: Build

    4 — 16 weeks

    Two-week cycles against a live environment you can open at any time. No screenshot theatre — you review working software with realistic data, and priorities can be reordered between cycles.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Working software every two weeks
    • Live staging environment from week one
    • Cycle reviews with a written summary
    • Visible backlog with priority agreed with you
  4. 04

    Phase 04: Harden

    1 — 3 weeks

    The unglamorous work that decides whether launch is calm: permissions reviewed, error paths exercised, performance measured against the budget, migrations rehearsed and reversed.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Security and permission review
    • Performance and load verification
    • Migration rehearsal with rollback
    • Monitoring, alerting and error tracking
  5. 05

    Phase 05: Operate

    Ongoing

    Launch is a checkpoint, not an ending. Under a retainer we watch real traffic, fix what the data exposes, and keep shipping the next increment of value.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Production monitoring and incident response
    • Iteration on measured behaviour
    • Documentation kept current
    • Handover to your team whenever you choose
