The Problem

Modern organizations face increasing pressure to support employee wellbeing,but most lack tools that connect efforts to measurable outcomes. VISTA’s founders identified three key gaps:

• No clear way to measure wellbeing program impact
• One-size-fits-all initiatives that fail to engage diverse teams
• Difficulty translating employee sentiment into action

On top of that, they needed to launch a market-ready MVP fast, with limited funding and a narrow timeline. The challenge: deliver real impact with minimal resources, while ensuring the platform could scale across large and complex organizations.

The Solution

TechStack Apps partnered with VISTA from day one, starting with a focused discovery phase to clarify goals, user needs, and success metrics. With limited time and budget, we adopted an agile approach, delivering features in short, feedback-driven sprints to stay aligned with evolving priorities.To support scalability, we built a modular architecture that allows for future enhancements like AI-driven suggestions and wearable integration.Given the board’s limited tech background, we also ran targeted coaching sessions to ensure understanding, alignment, and buy-in throughout the process.Core features included:

Self-guided Wellbeing Programs

Interactive, science-backed content covering topics like stress, sleep, and mindfulness, designed to be flexible, practical, and engaging across different employee profiles.

Daily Check-ins

Quick mood and energy tracking to build self-awareness and feed into the analytics engine, helping users and employers spot trends over time.

Real-time Dashboards for Employers

Visual reports gave HR and leadership visibility into workforce wellbeing, enabling proactive interventions and data-driven decisions.

Integrated Nudges

Smart reminders delivered via tools like Slack or Teams encouraged healthy habits without disrupting the flow of work.

Tiered Support for Large Teams
