UK Carp Promotions: Transforming a National Fishing Competition with a Custom Website & Mobile App

Client Overview

UK Carp Promotions is a national carp fishing competition organiser, hosting large-scale events that attract anglers from across the country. Their events require seamless coordination, from managing bookings to providing live updates during matches.

The Challenge

Before working with us, UK Carp Promotions relied on pen-and-paper processes and manual updates via social media.
They had:

• No website to showcase events or manage bookings.
• No booking system, meaning entries had to be handled manually.
• No live event tracking, so participants and spectators had no real-time updates.
• Time-consuming manual communications, taking focus away from running the competitions.

Our Solution

We designed and developed a custom website and mobile app from the ground up, creating a unified digital platform to handle all aspects of competition management.

Turnover time was extremely important to the client, so we leveragerd low code platforms where possible.

Key features include:

• Fully functional booking system – integrated with Stripe for secure payments.
• Live event management – including competitor tracking, live scores, and updates during matches.
• Push notifications – keeping users engaged with instant event alerts.
• API integrations – enabling smooth data flow between the website, app, and admin systems.
• User-friendly admin dashboard – allowing UK Carp Promotions to easily manage events, bookings, and results.

Tech Stack: Flutter, Firebase, Webflow CMS,Stripe API, custom API integrations.

Timeline: 2 months from concept to launch.

The Results

Since launch, the platform has:

• Attracted hundreds of active app users.
• Allowed competitors and spectators to view live scores and updates in real-time.
• Reduced admin time significantly, replacing manual processes with automated systems.
• Improved the professionalism and reach of the brand, attracting new participants.
