SportLoMo

Sportlomo have been a huge asset in advancing how we run our operations, weekly leagues and admin

Puntos a favor:

The software is user friendly and easily teachable. We work with over 50 clubs so shortening the time it takes to explain something new is key to reducing administration times. The support staff are constantly on hand to help us out with whatever we need and even our many upgrade requests are always accommodated. This season we also adopted Sportlomo for our membership registration on top of the league management system. This again, has made administration much easier, with players now able to pre-register for the following season 3 months in advance. We have been trying to introduce this for almost a decade and Sportlomo got it turned around in 6 months

Puntos en contra:

The only disadvantage to using the software is the time difference between our organisation in Canada and the head office in Ireland if something needs to be done urgently. However, they try their best to work outside office hours to accommodate our meeting requests.

Sportlomo software is very easy to use software for lay IT users in addition to users with IT Skills

Puntos a favor:

I work in the IT Sector and I have to say that Sportlomo is very easy to use software for the Sports Club St Finians GAA Club which I am Public Relations Officer of. The software is also very user friendly for the person who covers my role when I'm on holidays and who is a non IT person which makes the software very seamless for those using it. Sportsmanager, the Irish Sportlomo Software Agent are an absolute pleasure to deal with in carrying out change requests which are implemented in a very timely and efficient manner (within an hour of Sportsmanager receiving them for simple requests). Last year, our Sports club upgraded its website to a mobile responsive solution and there was a very seamless migration to the new website with no downtime. the customer representative and her team in Sportsmanager made the task of upgrading our website very easy and put me at ease in my dealings with them as the officer responsible for the website upgrade. What I further like about the software is that content on the new website is updated in exactly the same way as the old website therefore eliminating the need for retraining of those using it. We are absolutely delighted with our new website and I have been contacted by other sports clubs enquiring about how they can acquire a similar website solution. I have no hesitation in recommending Sportlomo as a website solution for Sports Clubs globally and also the Irish Software Agent Sportsmanager for Sports Clubs in Ireland.

Puntos en contra:

There is nothing that I don't like about using this software. Maybe if I could suggest of having the option to add more than one photo at a time for each news story.

A product that is a waste of time and money for any organisation

Puntos a favor:

As an administrator I could not find any positive points unfortunately.

Puntos en contra:

Setting up timesheets was the most painful process - especially adding players after being imported. It would be quicker to write out by hand than using sport Lomo. If you imported a player incorrectly or for some reason comes up twice you cannot even remove that player and ends up with two different Membership ID. This is probably worse than the previous system AOC had in places before, and that was very basic.

Very positive and if they don't "do it" or "have it" they have been committed to finding a way

Comentarios: Saved time, cut down errors, reduced the need for duplication of information and made more processes paperless.
Allowed me to communicate with a large number users, clubs, press and spectators (fixtures/results), players and Officials.
The officials were able to submit reports and also were informed of their games via text and e-mail based on electronically submitted availability. This allowed quick and straight forward reporting of data, key to streamlining processes.

Puntos a favor:

Integrates a number of the elements and systems key to delivering a smooth sporting programme. From league tables to referee assignments and discipline reports. All linked together to create a one stop shop. It also takes a large amount of the admin and more importantly the double checking of details away from the administrators and puts it in the hands of the people it is really there for the Clubs.

Puntos en contra:

Some elements have carried bugs and there was a period as they joined elements together where the time between flagged problems and/or requests were long and with limited communication. however, they have really turn things around and support is quick and communication much better. Some elements are still complex to use or long winded but they are continually improving the usability of the product for users and administrators alike.

Relatively happy with the software and my experience working with SportLoMo.

Comentarios: Far easier to manage competitions and fixture appointing form an admin perspective. Team sheets are clean and easy to review.

Puntos a favor:

I do the majority of my work on the competition management side of the system. I enjoy how easy it is to create and edit competitions and organize officials for fixtures. I also administer Team Sheets for my organization and the reporting system for team sheets is fantastic. It is really easy to get a high level view of which clubs are following our processes correctly. As a referee, its super easy to update scores and to view my fixtures through my dashboard. As an administer, its fantastic to not have to chase down scores the week after a competition has happened.

Puntos en contra:

There are some functions in the system that I would like to see adopted to make the lives of rugby administers easier. I do not like how you cannot sort for Age Grade or by registration date when you go to fill out a panel on team sheet editor. This makes it very difficult for clubs with hundreds of athletes to find the 30 athletes they want on their panel. The "ctrl+f" feature is not really useful as most of our clubs do not use this feature. I find the "All Competitions" page on our website to be very cluttered and confusing at times. It would be great if we could add in page breaks to separate competitions based on the competition level.
