Challenges & Solutions
Challenges
Technical limitations of existing solution
As the Sphere community grew fast, updating and scaling the existing solution became more resource-consuming and complicated due to its limited tech & code specifications. It significantly slowed down feature development & product growth.
Confusing navigation & poor user experience
Previously, new features were added inconsistently to the platform without following UI guidelines & UX best practices, making the interface cluttered and hard to use. That's why users often struggled to find what they needed.
The existing solution didn’t fit growing business needs
The existing application wasn’t built with regard to future growth, scaling, & business goals of the product. So, at some stage, it could no longer support Sphere's business needs, making it hard to respond to challenges & stay competitive.
Solutions
Strategic refactoring for app stability
We audited and reviewed the outdated codebase and redeveloped its key parts to ensure the app's scalability, performance stability, and future growth without expensive rebuilds.
Revamping the app's user experience.
We streamlined its UI and UX design based on user behavior and research, improving navigation, updating user flows, and making it easier for users to complete desired actions.
Providing scalable and secure setup
We switched to a new setup that ensures the app's stability and scalability for future growth and changes. So, now any functionality or tech tweaks can be implemented much simpler and faster allowing to follow business key goals.

Smart Connection Algorythm
For Sphere, we've developed a Discover Tool that helps users find valuable connections based on user activity, interests, and their existing network. Using a smart matching algorithm, it gives daily suggestions that are accurate and relevant. The system keeps learning from how users interact, so the suggestions get better over time, making networking easier and more useful.

Effortless Event Networking
The event planning functionality makes it easier to connect with others during events by identifying attendees with shared interests. The app automatically suggests meaningful connections based on past interactions and events. So, with just one tap, users can connect and build strong professional relationships.

Topic-Based Community Groups
With the Groups feature, users can create dedicated discussion spaces where they can connect over shared interests or professional topics. With threaded posts, comments, and media support, the app allows building structured conversations and deeper engagement. This feature helps build focused communities, making collaboration and knowledge-sharing more intuitive and productive.
