When Miguel Melendez was declared legally blind, his company fired him. His disability made finding another job, well, a tough job. But for a can-do guy like Miguel, not too tough.

Miguel discovered that the box where he worked out needed some help, he told the owner he could pitch in. [Barrio 12 CrossFit](http://www.barrio12crossfit.com/) owner Jose Mendizabal brought him on the team right away. His first assignment: find software for managing the gym.

A rapidly growing clientele, Jose’s aversion to computers, and Miguel’s disability made for a pretty tall order—the new software had to address many needs. Barrio 12 tried a couple of solutions, but nothing filled the bill until they found Pike13.

## Find out [how Pike13 helped Miguel, Jose, and Barrio 12 CrossFit create opportunity](http://learn.frontdeskhq.com/community/client-stories/barrio-12-crossfit) in the face of these challenges.
