Services
Four things we do well.
01
Lead capture and follow-up
Every enquiry is captured in one place, with follow-ups tracked so no prospect slips through.
02
Sales pipeline
Follow each lead from first contact through to sign-up, with a clear view of where every prospect stands.
03
Member management
Keep member details, status and history in one central record, from joining through to renewal.
04
Reporting and insights
Track lead conversion, member growth and retention, so decisions are based on real numbers.
Who we work with
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms that want one system for everything.
Our BJJ members app is built around how a gym actually operates. Owners and coaches manage leads, members and day-to-day administration in one place, leaving more time for the mats and less for paperwork.

FAQs
Questions gym owners ask us.
Can we move our existing data across?
Yes. Send us your spreadsheets or an export from your current system, and we'll bring your members, ranks and history across as part of setup.
Does it work for multiple locations?
Yes. Each location keeps its own timetable and attendance, and owners can see members and reporting across all of them.
Can coaches use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Coaches can check the timetable, mark attendance and update a student's rank from a phone or tablet at the gym.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your lead and member records belong to your academy, and you can ask for a full copy at any time.
