Our Client’s Vision

We enjoyed working with our client, a former professional pickleball player. His experience in the game gave him ample insight into the pain points the community is feeling with its software. His passion for pickleball and his acumen for development gave birth to Pickleball Manager. Pickleball manager is a full service application where users can create/manage memberships for pickleball clubs, run events and tournaments, assign referees, schedule courts, and do anything else one would need to do for Pickleball. He enlisted our Guru team and together they created this application.

 

Our Approach

Software in the pickleball industry has become stagnant and expensive over recent years. Tournament directors and clubs are looking for a more cost effective solution and at the same time yearning for an improved software that uses more modern design standards, is simpler to use, and above all has a mobile app.

 

Behind the Scenes

The app needed to be cross platform, mobile for typical users on the go, and both tablet and web for tournament and club directors. The app needed to be accessible for various types of users, as pickleball players come from all backgrounds and ages. Lastly, the app needed to be able to integrate with other softwares and applications. Currently, Pickleball Manager is integrated with or plans to be integrated with the following softwares: Sport80, UTR, DUPR, VAIR, PodPlay, PlayByPoint, OpenCourt, Plan2Play, and more!

Elements:

Mobile and Web bracket viewing software for multiple bracket types (round robin, single elimination, double elimination…)
PDF generation and printing
Payment processing
Fully customizable casual and competitive bracket formats and types
Advanced bracket standings and seeding algorithms
Google, Facebook, and Apple OAuth

 

A Meaningful Impact

The project culminated in the successful launch of Pickleball Manager, a powerful application that directly addresses the needs of the modern pickleball community. The final product is a robust, cross-platform solution that provides a centralized and intuitive hub for players, clubs, and tournament directors on web, tablet, and mobile devices. By delivering a cost-effective, user-friendly, and mobile-first alternative to legacy software, Pickleball Manager has positioned itself as a premier tool in the industry.
