The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Governing bodies send hundreds of communications to their clubs every year. Policies, compliance requirements, training opportunities, affiliation paperwork. Most of it goes to one email address at each club — the president's personal inbox.
What happens next is unpredictable. The president might forward it. They might not. The safeguarding framework might reach the welfare officer. It might sit unread in an inbox for six months.
We built TidyConnect to fix this.
What TidyConnect Does
TidyConnect sits above your clubs' individual TidyHQ instances. It gives governing bodies the ability to:
Assign tasks by role. Send the safeguarding compliance task to the welfare officer at every club. Not to "the club" — to the specific role responsible. Track whether it was received, opened, and completed.
Communicate by group. Junior clubs get junior-relevant information. Regional clubs get regional updates. No more sending everything to everyone and hoping the right person sees it.
Track compliance in real time. A dashboard shows which clubs have completed their affiliation, which have outstanding tasks, and which need follow-up. No more spreadsheets. No more email chasing.
Standardise governance. Meeting templates, policy documents, and process guides that every club receives. Consistent governance quality across the network.
How It Works
The governing body creates a task or communication in TidyConnect. They select the target — all clubs, specific groups, or specific roles. They set deadlines and tracking requirements.
The task appears in the relevant club committee members' TidyHQ workspace. They complete it. The governing body sees completion in real time.
For clubs already using TidyHQ, it is automatic. For clubs not yet on TidyHQ, TidyConnect provides a lightweight interface for receiving and responding to governing body communications.
Who It Is For
State and national sporting bodies. University student unions managing affiliated clubs. Peak bodies coordinating member organisations. Any federated structure where one body needs governance visibility across many.
What It Is Not
TidyConnect is not a replacement for competition management, registration, or membership platforms. It sits alongside those systems. It adds the governance execution layer that most federated structures are missing.
Your clubs can keep using GameDay for fixtures. Keep using Sport80 for registrations. TidyConnect handles the governance and communication that those systems were not built for.
Available Now
TidyConnect is available for governing bodies and federated structures. Pricing is based on the number of connected organisations. Contact us for a conversation about your network.
