About the Client

PadelMe is an international sports-tech startup aiming to make padel more accessible globally. Its platform connects players, clubs, and tournaments through a unified digital ecosystem that combines social discovery, bookings, and CRM integration.

Main request

The client needed to build both a user-facing Flutter app and a custom CRM for padel clubs. The system had to provide a seamless user experience for finding partners, joining tournaments, and booking courts — while integrating with existing third-party CRMs used by clubs worldwide. The main challenge was to unify fragmented data across multiple CRM providers and design a backend that supports real-time updates and scalable club management.

What we did

Designed a multi-layer system separating user app, club CRM, and integration modules with event-driven updates to sync between systems

Built a modern, responsive Flutter UI focused on effortless navigation and community interaction with player discovery and matchmaking

Developed a web-based CRM for clubs to manage players, courts, schedules, and tournament registrations with analytics dashboards

Integrated with popular padel CRMs to sync data on bookings, memberships, and court availability using standardized API adapters

Implemented Firebase-based notification and authentication system with multi-environment testing and automated CI/CD pipelines

Problem solving

The biggest challenge was harmonizing multiple CRM systems with different data structures while keeping the app experience fast and simple for end users. We solved this by creating an integration layer with unified data mapping and background sync, ensuring consistent updates between club and user apps.
