Business Challenge
One Day Scheduling (ODS), a Chicago-based company that conducts business around hosting and scheduling children's basketball "play one day"-style tournaments was performing the labor-intensive, time-consuming and tedious work of tournament scheduling via MS Excel. This lasted for years, and at a certain point in time the database of basketball teams and the geography of company's held tournaments had outgrown the leveraged technical solution, and after a certain number of sleepless nights the founder of the company realized that it was time for a change.
How we helped
Qualtie has implemented and launched an efficient tool for tournament scheduling, which is now a core of client's SaaS "One Day Scheduling" platform. This helped ODS to restore their business operations, and take it to the next level: the better organized sports teams database and the new tournament scheduler provided a 100x higher capacity and performance compared to the old MS Excel-based solution, reduced labor costs, and let the company focus on building up their customer base and expand the geography of their-hosted one day tournaments.
After a year of successful run, ODS let Qualtie re-implement the existing Tournament Management Portal: team tournament registrations, payment processing, team roster, tournament brackets, team search, tournament search, team play schedule, and many more. At last, but not least, Qualtie helped ODS extend the sports kinds coverage and add support for soccer tournaments in addition to basketball.
ODS enjoys the solution at a whole and the business now shows rapid and steady growth, taking them to the national level.
