SmartCore was created for small business owners who want to focus more on their business, not the technology needed to run it.
Founder and CEO Andrew Crowder began attending classes at his brother-in-law’s gym a few years ago. As a new small business owner, his brother-in-law had a passion for boxing and teaching his craft to clients. The technology, payment tracking, and administrative tasks? Not so much.
He recognized that his brother-in-law and others like him didn't become gym owners to do paperwork. Time is better spent with clients, training, and helping people. Realizing that there could be a better way to help his brother-in-law and other small business owners spend less time in the office and more time in the gym, Andrew got to work creating and testing SmartCore.
Today, Andrew is partnered with Co-Founders Creative and UX Director Alex Demopoulos and Marketing Director Jamie Saunders to bring his vision to life. All three are small business owners themselves, with an acute knowledge of how distracting office management can be to doing what you love, serving clients.
In small business, having a tool that frees up time for you to do what you love is invaluable. Tried and tested, SmartCore lives up to the challenge.
With a seal of approval from Andrew’s brother-in-law, SmartCore is now a personalized app available for iOS and Android devices, as well as a website that allows for quick and easy management of membership, scheduling, and payment of services.
