✅ Acquisition of customer base

Existing clubs transition to Vereinsplaner in a structured manner. We handle the migration, onboarding, and ongoing support. You receive an attractive payout for every successfully migrated customer.

✅ Acquisition of customer base and software

In addition to the existing customer base, we also evaluate the potential acquisition of the software, technology, or individual components thereof. Revenue is generated through a combination of successfully migrated clubs and a buyout fee for the software.

Data transfer made simple

Bring your data with you. Keep working without interruption.

Clubs shouldn't have to start from scratch after switching software. That’s why we check which existing data can be migrated in a structured way.

This can include, for example:

  • Club and contact details  
  • Member master data  
  • Groups and departments  
  • Memberships and dues  
  • Custom data fields  
  • Roles and functions  
  • Financial and accounting data
  • Appointment and event data
  • Document storage
  • Other available club data  

The agreed data transfer to Vereinsplaner is free of charge for the clubs involved. Which data can actually be migrated depends on the available export and the specific data structure.
