About the Client
Our client operates in the techno-sports space, providing performance and engagement technology to sports agencies before expanding into a direct-to-consumer product. They needed a mobile platform for iOS and Android that let fans follow live games, place bets in real time, and access AI-driven game analysis, while giving players and agencies AR-based tracking of shot trajectory, speed, and on-field positioning. The platform also had to scale horizontally as adoption grew. BigOhTech partnered with the client from architecture through deployment, embedding senior data science, cloud, and AI engineering talent directly into the build.
Business Challanges
Dependence on a third-party oil and gas exchange platform operating on FIX protocol and EST timezone.
Limited ability to customize workflows based on business requirements.
No support for seamless third-party integrations to automate post-trade activities.
Lack of real-time market and order updates.
High dependency on external vendors for platform modifications and issue resolution.
Need for a scalable platform supporting both Spot and Auction-based trading models.

Our Strategic Approach

Custom-Built Exchange Engine

Developed a proprietary in-house exchange engine tailored to IGX's trading workflows, supporting both Spot and Auction-based trading.

    Secure FIX connectivity
    Comprehensive audit trails
    Transaction logging
    Regulatory reporting support
    Operational monitoring and governance controls
