Sportyweb - A web app for managing sports clubs

Sportyweb is a multitenancy web application for the efficient and collaborative management of sports clubs. Sportyweb targets a broad range of sports clubs of sizes from large-sized, multi-sports clubs with several thousand members to small, single-sports clubs with a few dozen members.

The integrated open-source-software is currently in its initial development phase and aims to offer digital solutions for all typical club management areas:

• Club administration: Management of the core data of clubs
• Departments & groups: Mapping of the hierarchical structure of a club, management of department and group members
• Contacts & memberships: Management of contacts (members and non-members, persons and organizations), creation and cancellation of memberships
• Events: Management of events and calendars, management of participants
• Locations & equipment: Management of locations and equipment
• Rental: Rental of locations and equipment by members and non-members
• Fees & subsidies: Management of various custom fees and subsidies
• Finance & Accounting: Bookkeeping, preparation of reports and forecasts, payment processing
• Documents: Management of files, (public) sharing, versioning
• Publications: Management of newsletters, website and social media content
• Wiki: Collaborative knowledge base
• Projects & Tasks: Management of projects and tasks
• Chats: Instant messaging, group chats
• ...

The listed areas are currently at different stages of their development.

Sportyweb is being developed as part of the SPORT research project by the Information Systems Development Research Group at the FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany.

The research project examines the domain of clubs, in particular sports clubs, which has so far only been given secondary attention, reflects domain-specific use cases, business processes and requirements, and uses state-of-the-art technologies of modern web development like the programming language Elixir, the web application framework Phoenix and the database management system PostgreSQL.
