Our goal is to create a comprehensive database of sports facilities, accessible to both internal and external agents, containing current information on construction and development progress, technical specifications, budget status, the variety of sports offered, staff management, location, and contact details.

Implementation

Spellsystems implemented a three-tiered software solution. The first tier is an intranet portal as a collaboration platform. The second tier is a public internet portal and its mobile version. The third tier is interactive presentation software with touch, gesture and voice control. The system has become the main federal database of sports facilities.


The data portal and collaboration platform provides a centralized location for users from federal, regional, and municipal levels to access, publish, and update information about sports facilities. Features include the ability to publish facility information and maps, manage multimedia content such as images, videos, and interactive tours, and add complementary materials like news, class descriptions, and schedules. The portal also has control functions and gathers information on user actions for statistical reports.

The internet portal contains public information about all sports facilities built or reconstructed with federal money, provides full-text and parametric search functionality and offers feedback capabilities.

The interactive presentation software for touch panels provides an impressive demonstration of sports facilities stored in the collaboration portal. It provides several attractive features including interactive virtual tours of the greatest Russian sports facilities and gesture control of the presentation.
