Project Background
Funduro was conceptualised to serve a fast-growing community of off-road motorcycle and enduro riders in South Africa. While funduro events were gaining popularity, there was no central platform for riders to discover, register for, and manage their attendance at these events.
The vision was to create a rider-first mobile app that would bring structure to the local off-road scene, enabling both event organisers and riders to stay connected, informed, and engaged. The platform needed to streamline event discovery, simplify registration, and deliver real-time updates, all packaged in a fast, reliable mobile experience.
With strong community roots and a passion for off-road biking, our team jumped at the opportunity to build a tool that would genuinely enhance the way riders engage with the sport.

Project Challenge
The biggest challenge with Funduro was designing a system that served two distinct user groups: everyday riders and event organisers. Both needed tailored functionality, and both had to interact with the same core data in real time.
From a user experience standpoint, we had to ensure that navigation remained simple, even while offering features like dynamic event filtering, registration flows, and notification settings. Another major consideration was offline reliability, as many riders explore areas with limited signal, so caching and local data handling became key technical priorities.
For event organisers, the app needed to support backend tools for creating and managing events, tracking sign-ups, and sending out updates on the fly. Achieving all of this while keeping Firebase read and writes optimised and the app lightweight for older Android devices required careful planning and iterative testing.

Project Solution
We built Funduro using Flutter, enabling consistent performance across Android and iOS while keeping development lean. GetX was selected for state management to ensure responsive UI and clean route handling throughout the app.
Firebase Firestore powered the real-time database, while Firebase Auth secured user access with multiple login options. To address offline reliability, we integrated Hive for local caching, allowing users to browse upcoming events and view previously saved details even without an internet connection.
For the event management tools, we developed a companion admin dashboard using React and Firebase, giving organisers full control over event creation, updates, and attendee lists. Notifications were powered by Firebase Cloud Messaging, delivering push alerts for registrations, schedule changes, and news.
A clean, rider-centric interface was developed with intuitive flows, allowing users to register for events, complete indemnity forms, and receive updates in just a few taps.

Project Result
Funduro has quickly become a recognised platform within the off-road riding community. Within the first few weeks of launch, the app saw dozens of event signups and high engagement from early users. Event organisers reported that the platform significantly reduced manual registration efforts and allowed for more organised event management.
The notification system proved especially valuable, allowing last-minute updates like weather changes or venue shifts to reach all attendees instantly. Riders appreciated the ability to track upcoming events without relying on fragmented WhatsApp groups or Facebook posts.
The project also laid the groundwork for monetisation strategies through featured event placements and branded partner visibility, opening new revenue channels for the app owner while supporting the community.
