Milestones & estimates
Platform foundations & alignment
Establish mobile architecture for cross-platform performance, backend integration, and future feature expansions without major reworks. Lay the foundation for long-term growth.
Mobile platform re-architecture

- Environment setup (development, staging, production).
- Application initialization flows, including splash screen, authentication checks, routing, and error handling
- Security implementation, covering token handling, secure storage, and mobile-safe authentication flows
- Refactoring of existing backend services & API.
Client & trainer functionality implementation
- Multi-role authentication, registration flows, profile management, push notifications.
- Trainer availability and capacity management.
- Client calendar, scheduling, booking.
- Security implementation, covering token handling, secure storage, and mobile-safe authentication flows
- Stripe payment integration, including subscriptions, blocks, add-on credits, receipts, and billing notifications.

- Production-ready mobile application covering all core client and trainer workflows.
- Backend services aligned and optimized for mobile usage.
- Clear technical documentation and handover materials.
- Stable, extensible base for iterative feature delivery in subsequent phases.
Communication, trust & anti-poaching
Eliminate off-platform communication by bringing it into a controlled environment. Off-platform messaging currently removes MotivatePT from critical client journey stages.
- In-app messaging (client trainer), embedded directly within the MotivatePT mobile application.
- Message history with admin visibility, available for QA, safeguarding, dispute resolution, and operational oversight.
- Read receipts, attachments, and smart notifications, ensuring critical communication is seen and acted upon.
- Elimination of WhatsApp and personal contact, reducing the risk of client poaching and protecting revenue.
- An in-app chat system that is fully integrated into the mobile application, supports message history & attachments (images, videos, documents).
- Intelligent controls to reduce client poaching. Removal of personal contact sharing, with optional detection of phone numbers and external links in messages.
- Searchable message history, admin-level visibility, and structured communication data for monitoring, issue resolution, and higher service standard.
Sessions, verification & video
Prevent fraudulent session logging by verifying time, presence, and participation while standardizing session quality across online and in-person training.
- Embedded, platform-owned video calls, replacing personal Zoom link.
- Session recording, quality review, and training libraries (potential).
- Online session tracking & validation of trainer and client join and leave times.
- Total session duration tracking, no-shows, and early exit.
- In-person sessions with a verifiable timestamp when training begins.
- Geolocation integration for proximity checks (potential).
- Session logs and timestamps, client feedback and ratings, trainer responses, generated during each session.
- A reliable, auditable record of all sessions (online and in-person) that supports accurate billing, fair trainer compensation, and confident reporting.
- Elimination of false logging & enforcement of minimum delivery standards.
- Consistent session data enables data-driven trainer management (performance trends, client satisfaction patterns, early detection of quality issues, informed coaching, and support for trainers).
Admin intelligence & matching
Reduce admin workload while preserving human-led matching, improving outcomes, and enabling scalable growth with real-time visibility.
Semi-Automated Client-Trainer Matching, based on:
- Client goals, life stage, satisfaction.
- Trainer availability & experience.
Admin Dashboard with Data & Stats
- Clean, executive-level dashboards.
- Filters by time periods, trainer cohort, and client segment.
- Exportable reports for internal use
Operational Alerts & Safeguards
- Trainers with declining ratings.
- Clients at risk of churn.
- Capacity mismatches (too many leads, too few trainers)
- Repeated late starts or session irregularities.
- Admin-only matching interface with intelligent suggestions that support faster, more consistent client–trainer pairing.
- Configurable matching rules & thresholds that allow the platform to adapt matching logic to business priorities.
- Analytics dashboards with core KPIs to give admins clear visibility into sessions, trainer performance, client engagement.
- Operational alerting framework to flag risks, anomalies, and issues before they impact user experience.
- Documentation and training for the admin team to ensure confident platform adoption.
Quality, analytics & store launch
Ensure the apps are stable, secure, and ready for release on the App Store and Google Play.
Automated Testing (Unit, Integration, UI).
- Ensure that core functionality behaves as expected across devices and updates.
- Validate business logic.
- Confirm correct interaction with backend services.
- Protect critical user journeys such as login, booking, messaging, and payments.
Performance Optimization.

- Provide stable behaviour under poor network conditions.
Analytics & Event Tracking.
- Provide visibility into how users interact with the app.
- Give insights into key actions (onboarding completion, booking behaviour, messaging engagement, session attendance, and churn signals)
Apple App Store & Google Play Release.
- Cover activities required to successfully publish the apps (app signing and certificates; store listings, screenshots, and metadata; privacy disclosures and compliance checks; beta testing and staged rollouts).
- iOS and Android applications that meet all store requirements and are approved for public distribution, with stable builds ready for ongoing iteration.
- A foundational monitoring and analytics setup that allows the team to track application health, usage patterns, and early issues from day one.
