The problem we're solving

Officiating is one of the most important ingredients to successful sport, but is often the least resourced or technologically advanced. Without an efficient process, managing officials is fiddly, time consuming, error-prone and takes valuable resources away from recruiting and training. From grassroots to the elite level, an efficient and intelligent digital solution has been difficult to find, let alone one that connects to the rest of a sport's ecosystem.

Our solution
