Tikkurilan Judokat started using Suomisport in 2017. The club has found the service especially useful for collecting membership fees. Holding both the children & youth and the adults’ Tähtiseura quality labels, the club also values that the Tähtiseura online service is connected with Suomisport.
Board member Salla-Serena Louhi has closely followed the implementation of Suomisport. Today, the club uses the platform widely for its operations. Membership fees, federation licenses and event registrations are all handled via Suomisport.
Although the transition to a digital platform took time, Louhi is pleased it was made. With Suomisport, the club has been able to save time and shift its focus to other important activities.
– Our club relies largely on volunteers, so it is important that we can dedicate our time to “activities on the mat”. Suomisport has supported this.
Collecting membership fees through Suomisport is a big plus
Louhi sees digitalisation as an essential path to developing club activities.
– Of course, changes take time, but what matters is committing to the process. It’s important to understand that not everything happens overnight.
At Tikkurilan Judokat, the shift to Suomisport was done step by step. This phased approach made it possible to gradually expand the use of different functions.
– Today, we can make broad use of Suomisport’s features, which streamlines our daily activities in many ways. Especially the ability to collect membership fees through the platform is a big plus. With Suomisport, members can pay both the club and federation fees and register for training sessions and other events.
Suomisport saves both time and effort
Tikkurilan Judokat has been audited as a Tähtiseura club for both children & youth and adults. Accessing the Tähtiseura online service requires logging in to Suomisport.
According to the club’s experience, the interaction between Suomisport and the Tähtiseura online service has been smooth.
– The digital features make everyday club life easier in many ways. For example, within the Tähtiseura programme we can find the latest development measures and observations gathered in one place.
Collecting and following up data is easy throughout Suomisport.
– I believe the biggest benefit of Suomisport for clubs is the faster management of functions. Club officials know where to find members who have paid their fees and where to follow event registrations.
– In everyday club life, any time saved helps – and that is exactly what Suomisport provides, Louhi summarises.
How to save time by using Suomisport:
- No more jumping between different services and platforms – in Suomisport everything is handled in one place
- Let Suomisport take care of your payments – automate your club’s membership fees with the service
