Client - The leading platform for fitness competition management

Overview

BoxPodium was born from the need to simplify fitness competition organization. Organizers faced the challenge of managing registrations manually, coordinating payments across multiple channels, and calculating results in error-prone spreadsheets.

We developed a comprehensive platform that automates the entire process: from creating events with custom divisions to generating real-time leaderboards that keep athletes engaged throughout the competition.

The system supports multiple scoring formats used in CrossFit competitions (CF-Games, CF-Open), with automatic tiebreaker algorithms that ensure accurate and transparent results.

What we did

• Next.js
• React
• MongoDB
• Redis
• AWS S3
• Payment integration

Key features

The platform includes a complete event management system where organizers can configure divisions (Rx, Scaled, Masters, etc.), define workouts with different scoring formats, and set differentiated pricing by payment method.

We integrated four payment gateways to cover all of Latin America: MercadoPago for Argentina, PayPal for international payments, ePayco for Colombia, and Khipu for Chile. Each method includes webhooks for automatic payment confirmation.

The leaderboard system updates positions in real-time, allowing athletes to track their progress during the competition. Organizers can export results to Excel or PDF, and sync documents with Google Drive.

Technical architecture

We built BoxPodium with Next.js 14 to leverage hybrid rendering (SSR/SSG), optimizing both SEO and user experience. MongoDB handles data persistence with flexible schemas to adapt to different competition formats.

We implemented Redis as a distributed cache layer to handle traffic spikes during live competitions. The system includes rate limiting, HTTP compression, and NewRelic monitoring to ensure stability under load.
