What the platform had to solve
Organising children's activities involved two groups with opposing frustrations. Providers were managing enrolments, schedules and payments across spreadsheets, email and separate booking tools. Parents were searching across disconnected vendor websites with no consistent way to compare, book or stay informed. A single platform had to serve both without becoming a compromise that suited neither.
What made it difficult
Complex user needs
Balancing the diverse requirements of both activity providers and parents in one unified, easy-to-use experience.
Vendor integration
Integrating cleanly with a range of vendor websites and external systems to provide comprehensive services.
Real-time updates
Managing real-time scheduling and enrolment updates to minimise conflicts and keep users informed.
User engagement
Sustaining engagement and retention through an intuitive interface and continuous feature development.
Cross-platform consistency
Delivering a consistent experience across web, mobile and iPad apps without performance issues.
Security and data privacy
Protecting sensitive user data and securing payment processing while complying with privacy regulations.
Scalability
Scaling efficiently to accommodate growing numbers of users and activities.
Feedback management
Building effective tools for collecting and responding to user feedback.

Start a project01
Who uses ActivityHub?
Two distinct groups: activity providers, who create and manage activities, track enrolments and handle payments; and parents, who search, book and receive updates. Serving both without compromising either was the central design problem.
02
How does multi-vendor integration work?
Providers can manage activities running across different vendor websites and platforms from a single ActivityHub account, rather than maintaining each separately. Integrating cleanly with those external systems was one of the project's stated challenges.
03
What platforms is it available on?
Web, mobile and iPad, with data synchronised across all three. Cross-platform consistency without performance loss was an explicit requirement.
04
How are payments handled?
Through a secure integrated payment gateway, with industry-standard protocols covering both payment processing and the handling of personal data — which matters particularly given the platform involves activities for children.
