Shorter University

SHORTER UNIVERSITY
 Ava Sanders

Ava Sanders

/ Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance | Senior Woman Administrator

Overview

Shorter University’s Athletic Department faced considerable challenges in managing compliance and communication effectively. With many compliance processes on paper, coordinating between coaches, administrators, and student-athletes was cumbersome and time-consuming. The manual process required in-person meetings and document handling, leading to inefficiencies and a higher risk of errors. Ava Sanders, assistant athletic director for Compliance and Senior Woman Administrator, recognized the need for a streamlined, digital solution.

Challenge

The reliance on paper-based processes left Shorter University looking for alternative solutions. Coaches and athletes navigated a maze of forms with compliance documents scattered across physical files, which made keeping up with each requirement challenging. This outdated method impacted the department’s ability to stay efficient and slowed communication across teams.

Solution – Enter Spry

Spry helped address these issues by consolidating all compliance and communication needs into a single, user-friendly platform. Spry’s Paperwork feature, in particular, transformed operations, allowing coaches to submit required documents digitally and administrators to monitor compliance in real-time. Spry’s efficiency extended to CARA logs, where digital submissions and automatic flagging of potential violations saved substantial time and effort.

User Experience and Interface

Sanders and her team found Spry’s platform easy to adopt, with an intuitive design that facilitated seamless onboarding. Coaches quickly became comfortable with the interface, and the department praised Spry’s user-friendly experience. The platform’s ease of use reduced the learning curve and made daily tasks more manageable.

Decision to Move to Spry

The move to Spry was motivated by the department’s desire for a centralized, efficient solution. After extensive research and consultation with other institutions, Spry stood out as the best fit for Shorter’s needs, offering a comprehensive platform to meet compliance requirements and simplify workflows across the department.

Customer Service & Migration

The migration to Spry was smooth and well-supported, thanks to exceptional customer service from Spry’s team. With dedicated support from their account manager, Matt, Shorter University’s staff felt well-guided through each stage of onboarding. Matt’s responsiveness and commitment to customer satisfaction ensured any issues were addressed immediately, making the transition seamless and reinforcing the department’s confidence in their choice.

Impact

Since implementing Spry, Shorter University has achieved a more efficient, organized, and compliant athletic department. The platform’s impact on the department’s workflow has been transformative, creating a healthier work atmosphere and ensuring documents are readily accessible, eliminating the need for paper-based processes. Sanders attests that Spry has been a game-changer for Shorter, saving time and streamlining compliance, ultimately making life easier for administrators, coaches, and student-athletes alike.
