Putti designed and built Usshh, a sports recruitment platform that connects athletes with clubs, schools and sponsors. The build spanned native iOS and Android apps, a web portal for subscription plans and a "Shoulder Taps" connection system, and an admin console, giving grassroots athletes a modern way to get discovered.
What was the idea?
At the core of Usshh is the ability for athletes to build a sports-focused resume, one with video highlights, previous experience, references and a bio for a personal touch. On the other side, clubs, schools and sponsors scout athlete profiles and connect with them through "Shoulder Taps", a notification system named after the familiar phrase.
How did Putti build it?
To keep Usshh clear and intuitive, Putti followed a user-centred design process. Development had many moving parts: a native solution for iOS and Android, a web solution to manage subscription plans and Shoulder Taps, and an admin console for the Usshh team to manage sports, users and billing. The build also included a messaging system so prospects, clubs and sponsors can communicate efficiently within the app.
The result
Putti successfully launched the first soft version of Usshh to gather early feedback from an avid user base, delivering a connected athlete platform across mobile, web and admin from a single build.
