Plei.app: Sports Application for Soccer Field Booking

Description

Cyfrania has been involved in every phase of the project from its inception to the present.

We've developed the Plei app for Android and iOS users, catering specifically to soccer players, alongside the Plei System, a web application for soccer facility management. Both the Plei app and Plei System are powered by a unified backend.

Ever since their debut in 2017, we've been actively enhancing and expanding the functionalities of the Plei app and Plei System, guided by feedback from actual users.

Challenge

The customer commissioned Cyfrania to create two connected solutions intended to serve the specific user needs:

  • A mobile application for soccer players that enables them to find partners, book a soccer field in their neighborhood and arrange pick-up games
  • Platform for soccer field providers that allows them to manage field reservations

Solutions

Plei App Key Functions:

  • Locate nearby soccer facilities and pinpoint them on a map.
  • Check details and live availability of soccer fields.
  • Reserve a field and invite friends. Invites are sent as notifications, and invitees can accept or decline.
  • Message individual players or groups to arrange games. A dedicated chat is created for each game.
  • Form two teams by assigning player icons to either side of the field.
  • Cancel reservations if plans fall through.
  • Discover suggested open pick-up games based on your location and schedule preferences.
  • Access detailed information about the game, including instructions, facility location, parking details, and where to meet other players.
  • Sign up for open pick-up games.
  • Handle payment for field bookings, with players only paying their share once enough participants have joined.
  • View scheduled upcoming games.
  • Contact the support team via Intercom or SMS.

Impact

Since its introduction in 2017, Plei has successfully cultivated a community of over 100,000 enthusiastic soccer players and more than 100 soccer venues in 14 cities across 11 states in the U.S.

By 2020, three years post-launch, the company's recurring revenue surpassed the $1M threshold.

Presently, Plei leads its market segment within the U.S. and is on a rapid upward trajectory. The owners are aiming for nationwide expansion and intend to extend their reach globally. Their vision is to create a worldwide network, enabling soccer enthusiasts everywhere to engage in the game whenever and wherever they desire.
