Given these factors, it is possible to observe the importance of running these games, either for their organizers and athletes or for the institution as a whole. In order to make the work of the team responsible for organizing this remarkable event more productive and safer, this paper proposes the construction of an application for mobile devices called IFJICS. A platform whose main objective is to assist in the management, monitoring and availability of games results. During the development of this work, bibliographic studies and an important requirements gathering were carried out, where it was possible to identify the main problems in the current way of managing and making available the JICS results. Agile development methods, virtualization and code versioning technologies, and open source tools for the development of mobile applications were also used. The results obtained with the construction of the selected tool are satisfactory. because it was possible to create a platform capable of automating the work of the JICS organizing team and reducing the waiting time to disclose the results obtained at the event.
