Palos Verdes Water Polo Club - Reduced platforms, cut costs by 66%

Palos Verdes Water Polo Club (PVWPC) faced significant administrative challenges due to reliance on multiple disconnected platforms for registration and management tasks. This fragmented approach led to inefficiencies, increased costs, and a substantial administrative burden.​

Challenges Before Implementing SportNinja

• Manual Data Transfer: The club had to manually transfer player and team data between systems, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time.​

• Complex Payment Reconciliation: Payment records required copying from one system to Excel before updating another, complicating the financial reconciliation process.​

• Fee Tracking Difficulties: Reconciling unpaid fees across multiple platforms added to the administrative workload, making it challenging to maintain accurate financial records.​
