PLT4M (Platform Athletics)

STRATEGIC CONSULTING / USER EXPERIENCE / web + mobile development

Established in 2012, PLT4M is a cloud-based software platform that manages and improves physical education curriculums and high school athletic development programs.

PLT4m’s mission is:

  • Empower educators through a Digital Fitness Platform to help them improve how they train their students and athletes;
  • Deliver a dynamic and engaging Student and Athlete training experience;
  • Help educators seamlessly and efficiently track and analyze training data and progress;
  • Deliver the best possible experience to every high school student and athlete;
  • Save high school coaches time;
  • Build winning high school athletics programs.

Problem

PLT4M’s founders Alex Relph and Sam Breslin created a custom Strength and Conditioning methodology using Microsoft Excel. With 1,000s of worksheets, they recognized that this would not scale.

Solution

The founders wanted a digital, scalable platform that could help them deliver their training program to schools and coaches across the country.
Given the importance of data tracking in strength and conditioning as well as Fitness based Phys Ed, it was important that this platform not only deliver programs, but streamline data capture and analysis.

Benefits

PLT4M now works with close to 1,000 schools, delivering fitness programming in a way that saves educators time, streamlines data collection, and helps to improve the lives of students and athletes.

Abcor Home Health

STRATEGIC CONSULTING / USER EXPERIENCE / web + mobile development

Abcor Home Health is a Medicaid- and Medicare-certified home health provider that is also accredited through the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP).

It has managed care organization relationships with Aetna Better Health, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna Health Spring, IlliniCare Health Plan, Humana—Independent Living Systems, and Meridian Health Plan.

Abcor Home Health’s mission is to provide dedicated exceptional, cost-effective, family-focused in-home health care services to qualifying clients.

Problem

Abcor Home Health has over 1,000 home health care provider employees to keep track of. By the nature of its business, that means a lot of driver licenses, health care licenses, and certificates to stay on top of. With over 1,500 paper-based HR files, the company had no systems and was struggling to keep up with manual work.

Solution

An HR portal was built for application management and employee management.
This allows Abcor Home Health to manage the entire hiring process including pre-screening applicants and phone interviews.

Through the same portal, it can:

  • Share news with employees;
  • Share documents that vary by job roles;
  • Manage required training, again that vary by job roles;
  • Manage required compliance documents, including automated reminders when documents are nearing expiration;
  • Report to company leadership.

Benefits

As a result of implementing the HR portal, Abcor Home Health:

  • Provides a much better employee experience;
  • Spends less time and money on HR;
  • Automates its reporting;
  • Can expand to new locations much more rapidly.

1,400+Paper-based HR files eliminated and digitized

16,800+Hours of required continued education tracked by the system

Problem

STRATEGIC CONSULTING / USER EXPERIENCE / web + mobile development

Training world-class engineers since 1893, the Armour College of Engineering (Illinois Institute of Technology) focuses its student development on four major worldwide engineering issues: water, health, energy, and security.

The goal is to create educational experiences that tie together leadership, entrepreneurship, and ethics with the engineering skills needed to prepare students for impactful careers.

IIT Engineering Themes’s mission is to provide dedicated exceptional, cost-effective, family-focused in-home health care services to qualifying clients.

Problem

Graduation requires that students attend a certain number of experiential events as part of the development and creation of their portfolios. However, students aren’t participating in large numbers.

Solution

The IIT Engineering Themes programs added gamification to its website. Students can earn different levels and rewards.

Benefits
