01The challenge

Sport depends on knowledge spread across people, processes and disconnected systems.

Membership

Events

somewhere else

Payments

bolted on

Competition data

in spreadsheets

Websites

disconnected

Rules in documents.

Processes in spreadsheets.

Experience in people’s heads.

02The approach

Start with how your sport works.
Then build around it.

Cloudpilot captures your organisation’s rules, processes, terminology, systems and knowledge before technology decisions are made.

A Living Operational Model

Cloudathlete sits at the centre as the infrastructure layer, connecting 9 components into one system: Members, Clubs, Competitions, Events, Payments, Communications, Data, Websites, CloudIQ.

A shared view of how your organisation operates today.

A foundation that evolves as your organisation changes.

03The platform

Four connected parts, built around one operational model.

Cloudathlete brings the services behind your sport together through a clear platform architecture.

01

Operational foundation

Create one reliable operating model for people, identity, governance and data across the whole organisation.

02

Connected capabilities

Connect membership, competitions, events, communications, forms and websites, with dedicated propositions for Cloudathlete Clubs and payment orchestration.

03

Intelligence and connectivity

Use CloudIQ, reporting and integrations to make trusted knowledge easier to use and connect with the wider technology landscape.

04

Specialist extensions

Add services such as Cloudathlete Rankings and sport-specific competition tools without fragmenting the operating model.

04Cloudathlete Clubs

For affiliated clubs, community operators and volunteers

Give clubs practical tools without disconnecting the sport.

Cloudathlete Clubs supports membership, events, payments, communications and digital services for clubs, connected to governing-body infrastructure where the sport needs one shared view.

05Payment orchestration

Commission-free at the Cloudathlete layer. Owned by you.

Each customer owns its merchant account, chooses from supported payment gateways and receives funds directly. Cloudathlete adds no platform commission; applicable gateway and payment-method fees still apply.

08Silver Linings

Sport changes lives.
Too many people are still locked out of it.

Silver Linings is Cloudathlete's commitment to removing barriers in sport.

We work with organisations that are often underserved, such as smaller governing bodies, disability sport, and community-led initiatives, helping them access the same level of digital infrastructure as larger organisations.

Because better systems don't just improve operations.

They increase participation.

They improve access.

They help sport grow.

In their words

Built with the organisations using it.

We rely heavily on our management software to operate effectively, especially given our limited staff resources, and Cloudathlete gives us the ability to do that. Their customer service, attention to detail and professionalism have been exceptional.
