Problem
Sports organizations—colleges, professional clubs, and agencies—must juggle scouting, recruiting, NIL and contract negotiations, compliance with NCAA, FERPA, and league regulations, and complex financial operations, often using disparate tools and manual spreadsheets. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, compliance risks, and delayed decision‑making.
Solution
Sherpa Sports delivers an AI‑powered, cloud‑based platform that unifies scouting, recruiting, NIL and contract management, and financial operations into a single secure system. A unified data layer provides a single source of truth across all departments, while built‑in compliance guardrails enforce NCAA, FERPA, and league rules. The AI decision engine generates real‑time insights, anomaly detection, and recommendation alerts at each workflow touchpoint, accelerating decisions threefold. End‑to‑end deal lifecycle tools handle version control, clause libraries, e‑signatures, and revenue tracking, and financial modules offer budget planning, payment workflows, and audit‑ready reporting. SOC 2 Type II certification and 256‑bit encryption ensure data security and regulatory compliance.
