GOKID PARTNERS WITH TEAMSNAP to create first integrated carpooling and team management solution.
The integration of the two technologies has the potential to streamline sports transportation for millions of families
NEW YORK, New York – January 9, 2018 – GoKid, the complete carpool solution for schools, teams, and families, today announced a partnership with TeamSnap, the leading technology in integrated sports management. The first phase of the partnership will include GoKid offering users the ability to connect their TeamSnap and GoKid accounts in order to pull in team rosters and sports event schedules. Users will then be able to easily create carpools and find other parents in their child’s team by pulling information straight from TeamSnap.
“A huge number of the carpools created on our platform are for sports events and practices, and we are sure that this integration will make sports carpool setup even more efficient for busy families,” said Stefanie Lemcke, founder and CEO of GoKid. “We’ve had users asking for a way to pull in their TeamSnap events since the early days of GoKid and are delighted to now be able to offer this option.”
The integration will initially be available on GoKid’s iPhone app and coming to the desktop later this spring and will be available to all GoKid Pro users. The second phase of the integration will allow TeamSnap users to set up GoKid carpools directly from the TeamSnap app.
“Over half of the TeamSnap user base comprises parents who manage nearly all aspects of their child’s sports activities,” said TeamSnap co-founder and CEO, Dave Dupont. “Parents love our platform and ease of use around communication, scheduling, and real-time game sharing. Carpooling, however, is a top feature request. We embarked on this partnership as a first step to assuage those pain points and continue to fulfill our mission – enabling everyone to spend more time playing and less time organizing.”
Both companies are making parents’ lives easier by helping them schedule children’s sports activities. This exclusive partnership has the potential to enable millions of parents to streamline their sports activity transportation.
