Established in 2017 by Nicola Addison and Claudia Newland, Cover Ninja is on a mission to connect fitness venues in need of class cover with a community of qualified, validated instructors.
Cover Ninja already had developers on hand, along with ideas and designs established, but they needed a partner with expertise in React Native to ensure the app would work flawlessly on both iOS and Android devices.
With ambitions for future international growth, scalability was also a critical requirement. This necessitated a robust, scalable end-product capable of supporting their expansion into new markets.
Like most of the start-ups we work with, Cover Ninja had investors to please throughout this project. Our agile approach kept everyone in the loop with frequent updates and feedback, ensuring a transparent and engaged relationship throughout the project's development.
By explaining all our major design and development decisions while adapting to regular client feedback, we were able to build a high-quality, resilient app that meets all the original objectives.
Following a seamless testing phase with overwhelmingly positive feedback, the app was promptly launched on both the Apple Store and Google Play. Since its debut, Cover Ninja has experienced remarkable growth, establishing partnerships with some of the UK's biggest leisure brands, including Fitness First, Nuffield Health, and Everyone Active.
We love Lumico. They fully grasped and understood the needs of Cover Ninja quickly and got straight on with the job! They managed our expectations well and never failed to deliver on agreed timelines and budgets.
