Introducing the
Sailing Software Alliance
|
| An alliance of the names you know. |
The Sailing Software Alliance brings together providers of computer software which is designed specifically to make every facet of management and organisation at sailing clubs easier.
The software is cost effective, easy to use and is already relied upon by hundreds of sailing clubs in the UK and further afield. There is a software solution which can encourage participation at your club whether you have fewer than fifty members or several thousand.

| The value of software.
|
Sailing clubs are frenetically busy places at the start of the season. Frostbite racing may still be underway, championships being planned, social programmes are being organised and publicised, membership subscriptions are being chased down, berthing permits, dinghy storage contracts and car parking passes are being issued, coaching is being scheduled and staffing for summer regattas and events are being diarised .
Irrespective of the size of the sailing club facility or the number of members, when you list the tasks that must be undertaken against the number of people (salaried staff and volunteers) responsible for delivering the required results, it quickly becomes clear that running a successful and profitable club is an extremely complicated and multi-faceted business. It is entirely dependent on the skills, endeavour, organisation, patience and dedication of the individuals involved, the like of which could rival that of the Board of Directors at any FTSE 100 company.
Ensuring that your management teams, committees and members remain enthused, energetic and focussed on the objectives of the club is clearly of paramount commercial importance and this is exactly where the Sailing Software Alliance can help.

| Who are the SSA members?
|
The Sailing Software Alliance (SSA) is a collaboration of providers of computer software which has been specifically designed to simplify and assist with the many facets of day-to-day management at sailing and yacht clubs and to add value for your members.
The creators of the alliance are all sailors, all of them are sailing club members and they have all experienced exactly the same challenges as every other club worker or volunteer. As a result of their shared experience they have now combined their professional skills (in IT, web development, customer support, finance and business management) to make the lives of those running sailing clubs a whole lot easier and to enrich the membership experience.
There is a piece of software for every single sailing club regardless of the number of members or differences in sporting focus.
