“The Boyne Tannum HookUp is Australia’s biggest family fishing competition hosted across 3-days that attracts over 3,000 senior and junior entrants each year to compete across 15 fish species both live and dead and a team’s category.  This means there’s a lot of angler and fish information to manage to ensure that the correct entrants win the $400,000 worth of prizes.  So HookUp engaged Bitplex to build an integrated online process that allows people to enter the fishing competition via the HookUp website, that provides them an E-ticket they use upon weighing-in a fish to register their catch against their profile and their team, and then they also use this E-ticket to claim their prizes.  Seeing this specialised software was such a success the HookUp then looked at the other activities that surrounded the fishing competition and engaged Bitplex to build the electronic solutions to manage these too – for example an online stallholder process to apply, evaluate and assign food and drink stallholders for the event. Basically, whatever can be managed easily by technology instead of volunteers sitting and physically pawing through information for days has been undertaken.  The digital solutions do all the “heavy lifting” of managing the copious amounts of data, which allows the HookUp Volunteers to focus on providing people a positive family fishing experience.”
