Kairos - The Club Solution - Don’t Get Left Behind!

Since going to market in January 2021, Kairos, a Belfast founded sports tech company has been making big moves and gaining traction globally.

Kairos is a digital solution built for elite clubs that allows staff, athletes and even guardians of youth athletes to enjoy a platform that hosts their internal communication and operations practices. The versatility of Kairos has been recognised in Premier League clubs up and down the country who have rolled it out across their academies, women’s and men’s squads.

Newcastle United’s Dan Hodges, Head of Performance commented: “The Kairos platform will allow all staff and players at Newcastle United to stay connected and communicate effectively in an easy manner, which will help with planning on a number of areas such as travel and training schedules, general updates and events. Kairos have a proven track record of working with a number of clubs and the mobile app is a welcomed addition to streamlining our communications at all levels from academy personnel, throughout to first team players.”

Indeed, cultural excellence is a frequently used term in the elite sporting environment but through the clarity, accountability and excellence achieved from daily use of the Kairos platform, team culture grows resultantly with Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus agreeing: “The Kairos app has been a revelation for the Springbok team, and it has become a vital tool in our planning and preparation for test matches. At this level of the game every minute counts and the Kairos app has formed an integral part in ensuring that the players, coaches, and management team are always punctual and can plan their day according to the team schedule. It is an effective tool for any sporting team in their quest for excellence, and as SA Rugby’s Director of Rugby, I highly recommend this app to all sporting teams.”

We believe there’s a few components that will allow teams to stay focused after the pause for the World Cup. More and more teams are moving away from tools like WhatsApp that are unfit for purpose, to tools that are designed to enhance communication in those key moments leading to game-day. With 3 P’s at the core of what Kairos deliver, it’s hard to ignore the immediate benefits added to the performance set up at any club for any sport:

Professional

Built from the experience of professional athletes, the platform is designed and built for elite sport. It’s not a platform that has useful features for sport, it’s a platform where every element was designed to support an efficient high performance environment. Every team that uses the platform can adapt it, making it completely unique to them and their goals.

The platform exists as the day-to-day single interface between staff and players. Every message that’s sent means it gets where it’s meant to go, and only there. Staff can also manage quantitative and qualitative surveys, store and share critical files like videos and PDFs, set private appointments with players and manage personal information that’s accessible at the touch of a button.

The result? Everything staff and players need is in one place. A professional application means your club messages and data won’t be sitting alongside group or personal chats.

Your club platform, built for you.

Privacy

We recognise that when using tools like WhatsApp, the ability to forward sensitive messages, videos or attachments to other contacts is all too easy. The lack of audit trail means that information is easily lost which can create fragmentation across teams, particularly when young people are involved.

A lack of control and oversight over who sees what, and who sends what to whom means that information is easily lost.

Through encrypted cloud technology, all your information is secure and protected. Kairos is ISO 27001 certified, meaning that every possible action has been taken to make sure that the highest standards are met.

If necessary, you can track messages and have a clear audit trail of communication. You can even control who views, accesses or changes your documents helping your players and staff have one source of truth meaning those with academies or youth teams have greater ownership.

Productivity

Kairos grants the team selected admin full control over what matters. As a result, your operations are run by you, for you.

No more scrolling through various different groups to find critical information – everyone now has access to the information they need – and nothing else.

All departments can now collaborate on schedules, allowing the player to see their own personalised version…whether that’s from training to appearances, to booking treatment slots with the physio. Everything is in one place for the player. The Kairos platform allows you to change any plans made previously and can alert all relevant stakeholders instantly in the process – whether it’s ahead of time or real-time.

The Kairos team understands that elite sport is characterised by decisive moments, high demand, and the need to be agile. Designed to help staff and athletes prepare for key moments by creating a unified communication and operations platform to enhance the preparation stages for players and staff – meaning a clearer, more confident and assured team – ready to perform.

Kairos is a modern platform, built from the advice and expertise of the world’s biggest sports organisations. Known by teams in the Premier League, MLS, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLR alongside other major leagues across Europe and Australia as the communication and operation platform for elite sport. ●
