About Classcard

Classcard is a SaaS application that empowers class providers to efficiently manage their operations and sell classes online. Their platform caters to a diverse range of instructors, focusing primarily on those offering children’s classes and fitness programs. With ambitious goals to expand their reach and double revenue growth year-over-year, Classcard needed a robust file management solution to support their scaling business.

1. Superior documentation
2. Managed solution approach
3. Ease of implementation

“Filestack offered the easiest way to upload, deliver, and display documents for our users,” explains a Classcard representative. “The entire file management process is now taken care of with Filestack.”

1. Streamlined Development Process

Implementing Filestack significantly accelerated Classcard’s development timeline. The plug-and-play nature of the solution allowed their team to focus on core business logic rather than building file management infrastructure from scratch.

Filestack’s intuitive interface made it simple for Classcard’s users – many of whom are not technically savvy – to upload and manage their files. This ease of use has led to widespread adoption of the feature across their platform.

3. Powerful File Viewer

The file/document viewer emerged as a standout feature, providing an unexpected “aha” moment for both Classcard and its users. This functionality allows class providers to easily showcase their materials within the platform.

4. Unsplash Integration

An unexpected benefit was Filestack’s integration with Unsplash, which gives Classcard’s users access to a vast library of high-quality images to enhance their class listings and marketing materials.

5. Robust Content Delivery

Filestack’s CDN integration ensures that files are quickly and reliably delivered to users, regardless of their location or device.

Measurable Outcomes

While Classcard doesn’t disclose specific metrics, they report significant improvements in:

• Number of files shared and accessed
• User engagement with file upload and viewing features
• Overall platform stickiness
