purpose
We started this business because we saw too many club officials overwhelmed with onerous administration and ultimately leaving a sport they once loved because they were burnt out.
Everyone in our team has, in some way, shape or form, been involved in the administration of a number of sporting clubs—so we know exactly what it's like.
Because of this, we sought to utilise technology to simplify, or remove, painful (but necessary) tasks and paperwork, leaving our volunteers and staff more time to focus on the things that make their sport fun!
We love what we do, because every day we get to see our platform simplify and improve the lives of people just like you.
values
Empower through simplicity: not every club has a computer wizard.
Our platform MUST be easy to use for everyone. Where practical, we seek to automate tedious and manual processes. If my nan can use it, so can you!
Share the load: not every sport has endless pockets.
Volunteers and administrators already do so much for their organisation, they shouldn't need to babysit their members as well! By simply and safely allowing members to manage their own data, clubs, associations, and state & national sporting organisations are able to focus on improving and growing the sport.
Data integrity: you only get out what you put in.
We have developed tools to ensure your data is easy to manage, up-to-date, and—above all else—useful. It is imperative you can utilise your data to draw insights and make informed business decisions. As such, we consider practices and policies that jeopardise the quality of data offences worthy of the sin-bin.
Innovation is imperative: support the greater good.
We are an out-of-the-box platform with degrees of customisation. Our objective is to offer a whole of sport solution for small clubs to national bodies across a multitude of sports. As such, we're happy to review ways to help a sport specifically, however we would sooner steer a potential client away than offer a half-baked solution that doesn't meet your needs or risk damage to the experience of our other clients.
Above & beyond, together—and the importance of saying no.
Our clients choose to use revSPORT because we pride ourselves on open and honest communication. We're here to make your lives easier and will ALWAYS endeavour to go above and beyond. We also promise to say 'no' when things aren't possible or conflict with our philosophies. Thank you for your trust in our expertise.
