How it works
From shed to water and back again
Crew Wise is designed around the normal rhythm of a rowing club. No complicated process and no unnecessary administration.
Getting on the water
Three steps, every time
Crew Wise keeps the whole rowing session connected.
1. Choose your boat
Only the ones that suit your crew, weight range and level.
2. Start your session
Sign out before leaving the shed.
3. Return your boat
Confirm its condition, report anything wrong.
1. Choose your boat
Only the boats you can actually take.
Find an available boat that suits your crew, weight range and rowing level.
Add your crew, select any equipment you need, then confirm your boat.
2. Start your session
Sign out before you leave the shed.
Head onto the water with your session recorded in Crew Wise.
When the optional mobile stroke coach is running, session information and location can be available to coaches and club staff.
While crews are out
A clear view of current activity.
Crew Wise gives authorised club members a clear view of what is happening on the water. See which crews have signed out, the boats they are using and when they left.
Where mobile tracking is being used, their location can also be viewed on the map.
3. Return your boat
When everyone comes home.
When you return, confirm the boat’s condition and report any damage or maintenance issues so they can be followed up quickly.
If something has been damaged or needs attention, report it there and then. The issue is recorded against the boat so it can be dealt with before the next crew uses it.
Instead of relying on someone remembering what happened at training, Crew Wise keeps the record for you.
Booking ahead
Planning tomorrow’s training?
Check boat availability and make a booking in advance.
Members and coaches can see what has already been booked, helping avoid clashes at busy training times.
Organising training
Sort the crews before anyone arrives.
Create a training session or club activity, invite the relevant members and manage attendance. Coaches can organise crews before people arrive at the shed, so less training time is spent working out who is rowing with whom.
Setting up
Create club → Add boats → Add members → Set permissions → Create first activity → Ready to row
The setup checklist works itself out from the club’s own data, so nothing can be ticked off that isn’t true, and it shows you what is still outstanding.
Progress, not a countdown.
Each step ticks itself off as the club’s own data fills in, so the checklist always shows what is genuinely done and what is still to do.
