Sport? they must digitalize their processes.

With the exponential increase in administrative documents (e.g., contracts, medical certificates, sponsorships), sports clubs can no longer rely on paper: they must digitalize their processes.

That’s why PB Servizi supports sports organizations in transitioning to innovative, effective, and compliant document management.

Why Digitalize?

• A Growing Market: In Italy, the digital document management market is worth €2.3 billion, with an average annual growth of +13% since 2021.

• Internal Efficiency: Over half of this value (54%) comes from systems for internal archiving or creation.

• Security and Compliance: Digitalization combined with digital signatures, backups, traceability, and legally compliant archiving eliminates legal risks and document failures.

Why Sports Clubs Need to Digitalize Today

1. Operational efficiency and time savings Bureaucratic tasks—registrations, memberships, payment management, signatures, medical certificates—are greatly simplified. With integrated digital systems, manual errors and duplications are reduced. For example, in Italy, many amateur sports associations (ASDs) have cut budget preparation times by 80% and manual communications by 75%

2. Cost reduction and sustainability Eliminating paper, physical storage, and toner cuts up to 90% of archiving and printing costs. Fewer materials also mean a lower environmental impact.

3. Data security and compliance Document Management Systems (DMS) ensure scheduled backups and encryption. Every document is tracked throughout its creation, modification, approval, and archiving phases. This strengthens sensitive data protection and ensures compliance with regulations such as GDPR and certified preservation.

4. Accessibility and control Digital management enables immediate access to documents—on any device, from any location—without risks of loss or physical deterioration.

5. Automation and smart workflows Digital systems enable automatic routing of documents and notifications, improving approval efficiency and reducing delays. For example, automatic reminders can be activated for renewals, deadlines, or reviews.

6. Greater organizational collaboration Technical teams, administrators, and staff can work on shared documents in real time, with granular access controls and versioning, promoting transparency and teamwork.

7. Communication and member loyalty Digitalization enables fast notifications to members, staff, and partners, improving service quality and the overall brand experience.

8. Strategic value for sponsors and visibility A digitalized organization is more credible and professional. The ability to generate precise, real-time reports strengthens commercial partners’ trust and facilitates sponsor acquisition.
