ACTIVE Network Mobilizes Race Day with ACTIVE On-Site
SAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)--
The
ACTIVE Network, Inc. (NYSE:ACTV), the leader in cloud-based Activity
and Participant Management™ (APM (News - Alert)) solutions, announced ACTIVE
On-Site, a mobile app and branded credit card reader to help race
directors simplify and speed up the on-site check-in, registration and
payment process. By integrating with the Active Works® platform in
real-time, race staff can manage their activities and participants more
efficiently from anywhere.
Endurance events like Iron
Girl already have successfully implemented the app and credit card
reader. Judy Molnar, Vice President of Iron Girl, says their 5K events
register more and more people onsite and needed an efficient way to
process on-site registrations, both for her staff and for the
participant.
"Race day can get pretty hectic and ACTIVE's On-Site check-in,
registration and payment processing technology have taken a lot of the
stress out of race day morning," Molnar said. "Instead of dealing with
paper forms, our timer can download data with a click of a button, our
volunteers can be out on the course to ensure everything is going
smoothly and our staff can concentrate on creating a great event
experience. Our participants also love it because we have effectively
vanquished long lines on race day morning - they can show up to the
race, swipe their credit card and go."
With ACTIVE On-Site, race staff can use mobile devices to:
-
Check-in individuals and teams
-
Register participants onsite
-
Process credit card payments quickly and safely with ACTIVE's
encrypted credit card reader
-
Assign bib numbers, view T-Shirt sizes and find team names
-
Reduce manual data entry for the timer by syncing with Active Works in
real-time
-
View reports within the app to see total number of registrations,
number of spots available and total number of check-ins
"ACTIVE On-Site is a proprietary technology developed specifically for
the race director that unifies multiple data points to enable a secure
exchange of information across multiple platforms," said Eric McCue,
general manager of sports at ACTIVE Network. "By taking race
registration mobile, race directors can increase participation and
drive additional revenue more efficiently any time they are face-to-face
with a potential customer. We look forward to seeing how this technology
will transform the race event experience, from back-office to finish
line."
ACTIVE Network will attend the upcoming Running
USA 2013 conference from February 24-26 in Savannah, Georgia. To
learn more about ACTIVE's technology, visit booth #101-102 to demo
On-Site and hear the latest in mobile tech trends at Eric McCue's

most Android (News - Alert) devices. To download, visit the Apple
iTunes Store or Google
