How SomosOne Revolutionized Breakdance Tournaments with Xolvex

Xolvex developed a technological platform that automated the management of breakdance tournaments, allowing for event creation, participant registration, automatic matchup organization, and score digitization. This solution optimized time and resources, improved the accuracy and credibility of results, and strengthened SomosOne’s reputation within the breakdance community.

Business Opportunity for the Client

Before collaborating with Xolvex, SomosOne faced significant difficulties in managing its events. Challenges included:

— Manual scoring processes: Battles, rounds, votes, and scores were tallied using Excel files and paper, leading to inconsistencies in grading.

— Operational inefficiency: The use of manual methods made tournaments slower and more prone to errors.

— Impact on event quality: These inconsistencies affected the transparency of results, creating a less organized experience for participants and the audience.

It was evident that SomosOne needed a technological solution to transform its internal processes, optimize event organization, and strengthen the credibility of results.

Why Xolvex Was Chosen

SomosOne selected Xolvex because its team was the only one capable of understanding the complex breakdance business process and successfully translating it into a software system.

This deep understanding allowed Xolvex to design a solution tailored to the niche’s specific rules, complying with the regulations established by the Mexican Breakdance Federation.

Furthermore, Xolvex stood out for overcoming technical challenges using agile methodologies like SCRUM, structuring efficient workflows, and optimizing resources.

With a strategic approach that included assigning key roles such as Product Manager and Product Owner, Xolvex ensured fluid communication with SomosOne and precise alignment with their needs.

Their ability to redesign interfaces, digitize manual processes, and apply advanced technologies not only resolved immediate challenges but revolutionized tournament management, strengthening credibility, operational efficiency, and audience experience.

Technological Challenge for Xolvex

The development of the solution for SomosOne involved a series of technological challenges that demanded creativity, innovation, and a deep understanding of the company’s specific needs.

— Lack of updated technologies implemented in the initial phases of the project, which caused slow loading processes and an increased likelihood of defects, requiring additional efforts to update and stabilize the system.

— Design of a highly intuitive interface, especially adapted for tournament judges, who were accustomed to using traditional methods like paper and Excel, requiring a minimal learning curve.

— Absence of systematized and efficient processes within Xolvex’s own structure at the beginning of the project, which was addressed through the implementation of agile methodologies like SCRUM.

— Lack of initial technical documentation, which required significant dedication of time and resources, but proved fundamental to ensuring the future sustainability of the system.

— Need to establish structured processes for refining ideas, initiatives, and system features, achieved through the elaboration of flowcharts and the execution of collaborative ceremonies.

— Ensuring the solution complied with regulations established by the Mexican Breakdance Federation, demanding a rigorous approach to integrate specific business rules within the system.

— Absence of a technical counterpart from SomosOne, which Xolvex resolved by assigning a Product Manager and a Product Owner.

These challenges, although complex, strengthened Xolvex’s ability to deliver a robust and innovative solution that revolutionized the management of SomosOne’s events, setting new standards of efficiency and professionalization within the breakdance field.

Solution

Xolvex adopted a collaborative approach to deeply understand SomosOne’s needs. This included exploring, together with the company, the specific business rules of the breakdance event niche, as well as ensuring that the proposed solutions complied with the regulations established by the Mexican Breakdance Federation. The platform developed by Xolvex integrated the following features:

— Automated event management: Event creation (the system allows organizers to quickly configure tournaments and their essential details), Participant registration (structured information entry is facilitated, ensuring accuracy and organization), Event stages (it is possible to add and manage tournament phases, from preliminaries to finals).

— Matchup optimization: Automatic organization (the system assigns matchups efficiently and logically, avoiding discrepancies), Digitized scores (judges’ votes and scores are recorded directly on the platform, mitigating human errors and ensuring transparency of results).

— Improved audience experience: The digitization of processes makes results more accessible and reliable, providing a much more organized and attractive event.

— Time and resource efficiency: By reducing the use of manual methods, the time needed for event organization and development was significantly optimized, freeing SomosOne to focus on other important areas of its tournaments.

Thanks to this solution, SomosOne transformed the way it managed its breakdance events, achieving greater accuracy, efficiency, and credibility. This system not only improved the internal quality of the tournament but also positively impacted public perception and the company’s reputation within the breakdance community.
