About Crew Wise
Built for rowing clubs
Crew Wise started with a straightforward idea: running a rowing club shouldn’t require a collection of spreadsheets, paper sheets, messages and separate systems.
Why it exists
Rowing has its own way of working.
There are boats to allocate, crews to organise, coaches to coordinate, conditions to consider, equipment to look after and people to account for on the water.
Generic club software rarely understands all of that. So we built something that does.
Designed around the shed
Crew Wise follows the way rowing actually happens.
Crew Wise connects those everyday jobs.
A rower needs to know what boat they can use.
A coach needs to know who is training.
Someone at the club needs to know who is currently on the water.
When equipment is damaged, the next crew needs to know about it.
And the people running the club need a reliable record without creating more administration.
Built in New Zealand
Developed in Hawke’s Bay.
Crew Wise was developed in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, with rowing clubs and the practical realities of running them in mind.
That rowing background shapes the product. We use rowing terminology. We understand that clubs are often run by a combination of professional staff, coaches, committees, parents and volunteers. And we know that software only helps if people actually use it.

More time on the water
Technology shouldn’t become another job for your club to manage. Crew Wise is there to take some of that work away.
