Grit and Grind's Journey to Citrus

Before integrating with Citrus as their youth sports management software, Grit and Grind utilized various registration methods to keep information organized. Loads of manual tasks, including manual registration and payment handling, financial tracking, and constant client communications, ultimately led to extensive hours spent on administrative tasks. Owner and head coach Preston Herring constantly communicated with customers to inform them about upcoming events and registered them over the phone or in person. This lengthy and scattered registration and communication process resulted in a system where Preston could not take a day off without falling behind on his administrative duties

However, with the adoption of Citrus, a transformative shift occurred. Preston regained control of his time, allowing him to spend more time with his family. Citrus helped automate his registration system and streamlined the once lengthy and time-consuming process, drastically reducing time spent on administrative tasks. Moreover, Grit and Grind benefitted from the seamless client communication the online sports registration software facilitated. As a result, Preston could confidently step away from the business without fear of falling behind.
