If you’ve ever taken on a team sports or school order, you know the logistics can sometimes be a pain — order sheets being passed around among parents, ensuring it makes the rounds and everyone marked the correct sizes and quantities. Aktivate, a scholastic sports management software, and SquadLocker, a custom team apparel software and fulfillment service, acknowledge that and partner to hopefully alleviate that stress for schools and sports teams.

The Aktivate platform serves roughly 1 million athletes through a suite of tools related to registration and clearance, injury management, scheduling management, team communications, and coaching certifications. With the SquadLocker partnership, Aktivate will integrate apparel fulfillment across its platform for athletic directors and school administrators.

Custom Team Apparel Fulfillment

With the custom apparel solution, students, athletes, and parents can purchase custom apparel and spiritwear for every activity and sport supported in the platform. SquadLocker handles order-taking, customization, shipping, and customer service for hassle-free fulfillment.

“We are excited to partner with Squadlocker because the partnership enables us to give more money back to schools with every purchase,” says Hesky Kutscher, CEO and co-founder of Aktivate.

George Overholser, SquadLocker CEO, further explains that the SquadLocker solution was designed to “simplify a historically complex process. SquadLocker was created to save time for athletic directors and organizers with an efficient process while bringing delight to their students, parents, and players.”

Aktivate spiritwear stores are expected to launch ahead of spring.
