About The Customer
Golifo is designed for individuals who prefer to attend events in groups rather than alone. These could be business events where networking is crucial, or any other type of event where group offers are available. The app is also beneficial for ticket holders who can use it as a social marketing channel to increase their ticket sales. They can post and manage group offers on the platform. The app is also designed to be platform agnostic, open to all types of events, and aims to change the way people and small companies choose and book events. The future plans for the app include enabling leaders and influencers to create and manage their own groups for their friends or audience, by selecting available group rewards.
The Challenge
Golifo, a social ticketing app, was founded by Laurence Mourasse, an ex-corporate in the events industry. The challenge was to create a platform that would help people connect, network, and unlock event offers reserved for groups. The founder recognized that most people do not like to attend events alone, even when the content is great. Therefore, the need for a platform that would allow people to connect early, network, and unlock group offers was identified. The app was designed to be a managed marketplace where ticket owners could post and manage group offers, using Golifo as a social marketing channel to increase ticket sales. However, the founder being a non-technical woman in her forties, faced challenges in deciding the right platform and tools to build the app.
The Solution
The solution was found in Bubble, a no-code platform that offers all the features and tools necessary to build a fully-functional web app. Golifo works like a community, a temporary social network, and like a crowdfunding site, but for group tickets where people only pay and unlock the group offer when the right number of participants is reached. The app allows attendees to browse events and groups, join/leave groups, chat and network, and manage profiles or payment methods. Ticket holders can create, publish and manage listings. The app also integrates Stripe for payment management for both attendees and ticket holders, handling payment failures and attendee communications to ensure transparency and fairness. The founder learned to use Bubble with the help of online courses and a 12-week program with Gaby Roman of coaching no-code apps.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
