The volleyball club Salpis from Hollola adopted Suomisport in autumn 2021, initially for managing group registrations. The digital leap was exciting at first, but the benefits of one unified system soon became clear.
– Even before we started using Suomisport, we saw great potential – especially in managing the member register and getting rid of paperwork and Excel tricks, says Mari Niskanen, Suomisport lead at the club.
Registrations, payments and participant data in one place
With Suomisport, Salpis now handles group and event administration in a streamlined way. Seasonal fees are made visible at once, and participants register themselves. No extra messaging or follow-up is needed.
– We know exactly how many are attending each session or event. We no longer need to dig through WhatsApp chats, Niskanen says.
One clear benefit is when a substitute coach steps in. Participant info can be shared quickly, making sessions run more smoothly.
Up-to-date member register – automatically
One of Suomisport’s biggest strengths is its automatic member register, which updates via registrations and payments.
– We don’t need to worry about data protection or legal compliance – Suomisport takes care of that. It’s a major relief, Niskanen notes.
One service, many benefits
Niskanen encourages other clubs to consider how much time they could save by managing all operations in one place.
– Think about how many steps are eliminated when everything happens in a single system. It makes life easier for everyone – and supports collaboration across sports. Many clubs and federations already use Suomisport.
Support materials and regular webinars are also available for new and existing users.
