For academy brands that actually mean something.

You built a brand that means something.
You're running it on software that doesn't.

It's 11:47 p.m. on a Tuesday. Your shoulders are at your ears. You're three tabs deep in a spreadsheet trying to figure out why location three's revenue was off by $4,200 last month. You find it: four members whose auto-renew quietly toggled off in February. You've been losing $1,800 a month for ninety days on the platform you currently pay $2,400 a year to use. That's $5,400 you'll never see back. This is the third Sunday in a row you've done this. Location six opens in eight weeks. The current stack is not going to survive it. Neither, at this rate, will you.

You crossed the chasm. The software didn't.

You are not the head coach anymore. You have GMs. You have a marketing manager or an agency. You're not worried about a missed lead — you have systems for that.

You're worried because Mike at location four told a parent yesterday that the sparring policy is "whatever the instructor's comfortable with." That is not the policy. You will find out three weeks too late, from an email forwarded through your customer-service inbox, copied to a lawyer. Your jaw will clench when you read it.

You're worried because Sarah at location three is gaming the lead pipeline. Every walk-in marked "converted in person" to hit her bonus, undocumented, untraceable. You won't see it until the quarterly review, when her churn doesn't match her sales. Three months of bonus money. Two months of conversations you didn't want to have.

You're worried because your tournament last year ran two hours late. The 12-year-old in white belt cried at the registration table because she thought she'd missed her division. The fourth-degree black belt whose ticket you comped left at lunch. Three parents posted on Facebook. You spent two months recovering from one weekend.

You're worried, mostly, that you can't see the brand clearly enough to govern it.

The Operator's Reality
  • Sunday afternoons reconciling spreadsheets
  • Mindbody holding your member dues for 10 days
  • HSP workflows firing on stale data — when they fire
  • Each location running its own playbook
  • Five browser tabs to answer one question
  • Four weeks to provision a new location
The Acadevo Way
  • One dashboard, every location, every metric
  • Stripe Connect — funds in your bank, today
  • HSP firing in real-time, per sub-account
  • Brand-defined playbook, system-enforced
  • One screen, one answer
  • New location live in an afternoon

You opened your second school in a recession. You ran your first regional tournament with 600 competitors before you had software for it. You hired your first GM at midnight after teaching back-to-back. You did all of that on tools that broke at every corner.

We've watched it. We built what comes next.

Built by the people who got tired
of watching your stack break.

If you've spent five hours this month exporting CSV files from one platform to upload to another, the people who built Acadevo watched their own clients do the same thing for years. The Mindbody payout you're still waiting on. The HSP workflow that hasn't fired correctly since February. The spreadsheet on your desktop labeled real numbers because the dashboard doesn't trust the data.

Every connection you'd otherwise glue together with Zapier and prayer — built in. Every report you'd otherwise build manually — already there. Every page of this site was written by someone who watched a multi-location operator silently rebuild their tech stack three times, and decided that was enough.

We are not generic SaaS. We are the system you would have built if you'd had the time.

Five things that change
the day you run on Acadevo.

01 — GOVERN
You walk into the board meeting, pull up the dashboard, and your COO stops mid-sentence.
Every location. Every metric. Updated to the minute.
Active members, lead conversion, churn, class fill rate, instructor utilization, revenue. Per location. Real-time. The view you've been trying to build in spreadsheets for two years lives at one URL. Drill into any school and you become the GM. Step back up and you're the brand. The data finally trusts itself.
  • Brand-level dashboard, every location, every metric
  • Drill-down to any single school's full operating view
  • Reports built for franchise oversight, not solo operators
02 — STANDARDIZE
Your franchisees stop running their own businesses. They start running yours.
Brand-defined. System-enforced.
Class structures, plan structures, contract templates, instructor protocols, attendance rules — defined once at brand level, propagated to every location, enforced by the platform. New franchisees aren't taught the playbook in a three-day seminar. They're given the rails. They follow them because the system doesn't let them not.
  • Brand-level templates for plans, contracts, classes, comms
  • Per-location data isolation under brand-level governance
  • White-label per location: domain, logo, colour, favicon
03 — COMPETE
Your tournament finishes ahead of schedule. You will laugh out loud, briefly.
Live bracket scoring. Built in. Yours.
Brackets auto-seeded the night before. Weigh-ins verified at the door. Move-by-move scoring on tablets — takedown +2, guard pass +3, mount +4, back +4, submission. The public scoreboard projects to the venue and refreshes every five seconds. Parents get a push notification when their kid is on deck. The 12-year-old in white belt knows exactly when she fights. She won't cry this year.
  • Single-elim, double-elim, round-robin — all auto-seeded
  • Referee assignment with mat rotation, scoring from a tablet
  • Public scoreboard, projectable, shareable URL for parents
04 — CONVERT
The $15,000 your agency spent on HSP workflows finally compounds.
Native sync. Per sub-account. Real-time.
Every lead syncs the moment it's captured to the right location's sub-account, tagged with the right pipeline stage. Every member tagged with the right lifecycle event the moment it happens. The workflows your agency designed eighteen months ago — the ones that have been firing on stale CSVs whenever your VA remembered — fire the instant they should.
  • Per-location HSP sub-account routing, native
  • Pipeline stage tags fire workflows in real time
  • Lifecycle event tags: enrolled, active, belt-eligible, payment-failed, cancelled, absent-10
05 — SCALE
You sign the lease for location six on Friday. It's accepting members on Tuesday.
Multi-location is the design, not the upgrade.
Branded member portal. Isolated database. HSP sub-account routing. Custom domain. GM access provisioned. Plan templates inherited. Contract templates ready. All of it, in an afternoon. Your operational ceiling stops being your software.
  • New locations provisioned in hours, not weeks
  • Volume pricing — 20% off per location at 2–5 locations
  • Custom enterprise contracts at 6+ locations or franchise networks

⚡ Competitions — Built In. Yours. Live.

Last year your tournament ran two hours late. The 12-year-old in white belt cried at registration because she thought she'd missed her division. The fourth-degree black belt whose ticket you comped left at lunch. Three parents posted on Facebook. You spent two months recovering from one weekend.

This year, your laptop sits open at the registration table. The bracket runs from a tablet. Auto-seeded the night before, weigh-ins verified at the door, scoring on the mat in real time — takedown +2, guard pass +3, mount +4, back +4, submission. The public scoreboard projects to the venue, refreshing every five seconds. Parents get a push notification when their kid is on deck. Medals get logged. Results get printed before the event ends.

At one point during the day you'll glance at your watch and realize you're ahead of schedule for the first time in five years. You will laugh. Out loud. Briefly.

If you run one event a year, you've already paid for Pro twice over in saved staff hours and avoided embarrassment.

🔗 HSP — The Investment That Finally Compounds

Your agency configured HSP eighteen months ago. They came to your office. They walked you through workflow diagrams on a 65-inch screen. They quoted you $15,000. You said yes because the diagrams were beautiful and the logic was airtight. And then... the connection broke. CSV imports happened weekly when your VA remembered. Zapier patches kept timing out at 200 records. The workflows you paid five figures to build fired on a delay you couldn't predict, against data that was always slightly wrong.

Acadevo connects natively. Sub-account per location. Real-time. Every lead syncs the moment it hits your form. Every member tagged the moment a lifecycle event happens — acadevo-enrolled, acadevo-active, acadevo-belt-eligible, acadevo-payment-failed, acadevo-cancelled. The workflows your agency built fire the instant they should.

The first time it works — the first lead that hits your form on a Wednesday morning and triggers your nurture sequence in HSP three seconds later, with the right tag, in the right sub-account — you'll pull up your phone and text your agency contact: "It's working." They will not believe you.

The investment you've been writing off for eighteen months compounds for the first time.

You've used the alternatives.
You know what they don't have.

Acadevo vs. Mindbody / Wodify / ClubReady

Mindbody will charge you $499/month, hold $40,000 of your member dues for ten business days while it "reconciles," and tell you to read your contract when you ask why. The annual contract you signed in March renews in March. There is no off-ramp. Wodify will give you a CrossFit-shaped product and ask you to adapt your martial arts academy to it. The roster import will quietly drop half your medical records and nobody will tell you. ClubReady will sell you per-feature add-ons until the bill is bigger than what you started with — and the SMS module still won't talk to the email module.

None of them have a competitions module. None of them have native HSP. None of them isolate your data. All of them require an annual contract you can only escape with a phone call you'll dread for a month.

Acadevo is $199 per location per month. Volume pricing at two. No annual contract. Cancel from inside the dashboard. We earn the renewal or we don't.

Acadevo vs. Custom Build

You've thought about hiring a developer to build internal tools. We've talked to operators who tried. The math: $40K–$120K to build, $50K–$80K/year to maintain, plus the developer-attrition risk and the integration debt that compounds quietly until something breaks at 2 a.m. on a Saturday before a tournament. Then you find out your developer left in October.

Build vs. buy was solved at $24,000 a year all-in.

From signed strategy call
to "I haven't opened Excel in three weeks."

Week 1
Strategy call. The plan.

We map your current stack — Mindbody, HSP, Stripe, the consultant who left in October, your VA's spreadsheet — to the integration. We identify the data gaps. We schedule your migration cohort. You leave the call with a written plan and a kickoff calendar invite.

Weeks 2–6
Migration. In parallel.

Member records, payment records, attendance history, contracts, plans. Each location migrated in turn. You run Acadevo in parallel — your existing stack stays live until you're ready. By week six, your first location is fully on Acadevo. Members don't notice anything except the new portal looks better.

Months 2–3
Cutover. Full brand.

Full multi-location cutover. HSP sub-accounts wired in. Dashboards online. Staff goes through the training cohort. The Mindbody contract gets cancelled — by you, from inside their dashboard, with the same friction they gave you on the way in.

Month 6
A different operator.

You're on a plane back from a regional event. Laptop open. Dashboard pulled up. Every location green. The new GM at location four logged in this morning and hasn't called you with a question. Your CFO sent a clean monthly report that didn't need reconciling. You realize you haven't opened Excel in three weeks.

Pro is $199 per location, per month.

Volume pricing at two locations. No annual contract. Cancel from inside the dashboard.

Volume pricing kicks in at two locations.

20% off per location at 2–5 locations. Below: what your monthly subscription actually looks like.

We've heard them all.
Here are the answers without the marketing.

"I've been burned by software before."+
Probably more than once. So we did the obvious thing: no credit card to start, no annual contract required, cancel from inside the dashboard with one click. No phone call. No retention specialist. No exit interview disguised as a "save your account" workflow. The product earns the renewal or it doesn't. If you've been burned specifically by Mindbody's annual contract trap, we hear that one weekly. We will never do that to you.
"Migrating across three locations is going to be hell."+
For a single location, often a weekend. For multi-location, our onboarding team runs the migration with you in a scheduled cohort over two to four weeks. Member records, payment records, attendance history, contracts, plans, HSP sub-account configuration. We've done it before. We know which Mindbody export is reliable and which one quietly drops half the medical records, and we plan around it. You can also start in parallel — run Acadevo alongside your current stack, migrate location by location, switch when you're ready. Most multi-location customers do it that way.
"My franchisees won't want to learn new software."+
Most of your franchisees would happily burn whatever you currently use. The question is whether the new system is materially better at their actual work. The check-in flow is faster. The class roster is cleaner. The lead pipeline shows them why their slots are empty. The grading workflow doesn't require a clipboard. Within two weeks they will ask why you didn't do this two years ago.
"Will it work for my specific tournament format / belt system / franchise structure?"+
The fastest answer is to walk through it on a call. We've configured Acadevo for BJJ (IBJJF rules and NAGA), sport karate, traditional kenpo, taekwondo (WT and ITF), judo, and a handful of hybrid systems we don't have permission to name. If your format isn't supported, we'll tell you on the call. We won't sell you a solution we can't deliver — that's how the last guys got into your office.
"How does HSP actually work across locations? Show me."+
Each location connects to its own HSP sub-account during onboarding. Every lead, member, and lifecycle event syncs in real time to the right sub-account, tagged with the right pipeline stage and lifecycle tag. Your agency's existing workflows fire instantly off the data — no CSV imports, no Zapier middlemen, no batch delays. We'll map your current setup to the integration on the strategy call and show you exactly how it'll behave once you flip the switch.
"What about my data security? My liability?"+
Every location runs on a fully isolated database. Member data never crosses locations. Medical records are restricted to authorised staff only. A franchisee leaves the network — their data lifts cleanly. A new one joins — provisioned in an afternoon. The same data architecture Mindbody charges $999/month for at "enterprise" tier is the architecture under every Acadevo Pro account.
"What does this actually cost across my locations?"+
Pro is $199/location/month. At two locations, volume pricing: 20% off per location. So 2 = $318/mo, 3 = $478/mo, 4 = $637/mo, 5 = $796/mo. At six or more locations, or any franchise structure, custom enterprise contract with dedicated success management. Compare that to one Mindbody seat at $499/month — before you've added a single feature.
"I'm thinking about exit / sale / private equity. Does this matter?"+
It matters more than anything else on this page. PE buyers and strategic acquirers value clean, consolidated, multi-location data above almost any other operational metric. A brand running on six different tools across four locations gets a lower multiple than the same brand running on one consolidated platform with clean reporting. The data architecture we provide is the architecture acquirers want to see. We've watched operators close deals at multiples they wouldn't have gotten on their previous stack.

You're on a plane.
Laptop open. Every location green.

The new GM at location four logged in this morning and hasn't called you with a question. The tournament you ran two weeks ago finished thirty minutes ahead of schedule. Your CFO sent a clean monthly report this morning that didn't need reconciling. The franchise prospect you've been talking to since February signed last week — she said the platform demo was the reason.

You realize you haven't logged into Mindbody in seven weeks.

You will not log in again.

You opened your second school in a recession. You ran your first regional tournament with 600 competitors before you had software for it. You hired your first GM at midnight after teaching back-to-back. You did all of that on tools that broke at every corner. We know.

Run the brand from the brand level. We're the system that lets you.
