Equipment Tracking
For most teams, keeping track of loaned equipment is a records-intensive, manual nightmare. Takedown can track who has what, when it was loaned out and when it was returned. If you have an unlimited budget and like seeing your equipment inventory slowly and inexplicably dwindle, don't use this feature. For the rest of us, this is simply an easy way to save your scarce budget dollars.
Staff Contact Information
Not only can you add your staff contact information to Takedown, you can also send emails and text messages to these contacts from within the app. Name, role in program, email address, phone number can all be added. This information can be copied from Season to Season. Add it once and you're done. Stay in the app and communicate. Stop looking around for email addresses and phone numbers. It's in the app in Contacts!
Reports
If you're spending time crafting an event schedule in your favorite spreadsheet or word processor, you can stop. Takedown already has it in a shareable format that is instantly updated with results. Need a box score for the local paper? A roster? Leader board for practice room bulletin board? All there. Generate the report, tap the sharing icon in the upper right corner and you're done.
