The Challenge

A province-wide operation fragmented across disconnected systems.

Soccer Nova Scotia is the provincial governing body for soccer in Nova Scotia, overseeing a large and complex operation that spans clubs, leagues, officials, and thousands of members across the province.

Before partnering with RAMP, the organization operated across disconnected silos. The challenges were significant:

Registration data lived in one system, game data in another, and discipline records in a third
No single source of truth for who a member was across the organization
Leagues managed their own scheduling with no provincial oversight or consistency
Game results, statistics, and standings were tracked manually or through fragmented tools
Officials assigning was disconnected from games, rosters, and compliance data
Discipline tracking had no connection to the individuals involved in incidents

“What if you could have one true source of a member... and one true source of a game?”

— Brad Kronewitt, CEO, RAMP InterActive

This simple but powerful question became the guiding principle for Soccer Nova Scotia's partnership with RAMP. The vision was clear: build a fully connected ecosystem where every member and every game flows through a single, unified platform.

Phase One: One True Member

A centralized registration system connecting every club and every member to one provincial database.

The first phase focused on creating a single source of truth for every member in the province. RAMP's registration platform replaced the fragmented systems that clubs had been using independently.

Single registration system for all 52 clubs across the province
Every member — player, coach, volunteer, official — has one profile that follows them
Real-time membership data visible at the club, league, and provincial level
Automated fee collection and financial reporting
Certification tracking for coaches and officials integrated into the registration flow
Safe Sport compliance enforced automatically through the registration process

Phase Two: One True Game

A central games portal connecting scheduling, gamesheets, standings, and statistics across all leagues.

With member data centralized, Soccer Nova Scotia moved to the second phase: connecting every game in the province to the same ecosystem.

Centralized scheduling across all 9 leagues with provincial oversight
Digital gamesheets replacing paper-based scoring and manual data entry
Real-time standings, statistics, and results published automatically to websites
Roster validation — only registered, eligible players can appear on gamesheets
Game data connected directly to member profiles, creating a complete player history
Venue and facility management integrated with game scheduling

Discipline & Compliance

A connected discipline system that knows who was on the ice, on the field, and in the game.

Because member data and game data are connected, Soccer Nova Scotia's discipline system works with full context. When an incident occurs, the system already knows who was involved, their history, and the applicable rules.

Discipline records linked directly to member profiles and game reports
Automatic suspension tracking and enforcement across all leagues
Complete incident history for every member, accessible province-wide
Compliance reporting for Canada Soccer requirements

Officials Assigning

Centralized assigning connected to games, rosters, and official profiles.

With 600 officials serving 30,000 games, efficient assigning is critical. RAMP's assigning module connects directly to the game schedule and official registration data, creating a seamless workflow.

Officials assigned to games directly from the centralized schedule
Certification and eligibility verified automatically before assignment
Officials receive assignments through the RAMP mobile app
Payment tracking and mileage calculation integrated into the assigning workflow
Availability management and conflict-of-interest checking built in

The Impact

The results of building a truly connected sport ecosystem.

Single Source of Truth

Every member, every game, every discipline record, and every official assignment flows through one connected system.

Eliminated Data Silos

Registration, games, discipline, and assigning are all connected — no more manual data transfer or duplicate records across systems.

Massive Time Savings

Automated processes replaced countless hours of manual data entry, spreadsheet management, and cross-referencing between systems.

Enhanced Compliance

Safe Sport requirements, coach certifications, and discipline tracking are enforced automatically at every touchpoint.

Data-Driven Decisions

Real-time dashboards and reporting across all modules give provincial leadership the visibility they need to make informed decisions.

Better Member Experience

Members register once, and their profile follows them across every club, league, and program in the province. Parents see all their children's schedules, stats, and information in one place.

“We didn't just digitize our old processes. We reimagined how a provincial sport organization should operate — and RAMP gave us the platform to make it real.”

— Chris Lerette, Technical Director, Soccer Nova Scotia

Conclusion

Soccer Nova Scotia's journey with RAMP is a model for what's possible when a provincial sport organization commits fully to an integrated ecosystem. By connecting every member and every game through a single platform, they've eliminated the inefficiencies of disconnected systems and created a foundation for continued growth.

Today, Soccer Nova Scotia is recognized as one of the most efficiently run governing bodies in North America — proof that the right technology partner can transform how sport is administered at every level.
